Looking for suggestions for games like Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided since it looks like we’re not getting a new installment in the Deus Ex series anytime soon. Here’s my playing style. If I want cute characters and swords, I play one of the Final Fantasy series (mostly 12 and newer). If I want zombies I play Resident Evil series (started with Resident Evil 5). If I want a first person shooter game Deus Ex: Human Revolution spoiled me along with Mankind Divided. What I like about both those games are what I think is a good story, carrying multiple weapons (which means I don’t run out of ammo), being able to shoot from cover (peek out, shoot and pull back behind whatever I’m taking cover behind), storing or choosing a convent spot to drop extra weapons and ammo to pick up what I have room for later, a relatively open world where I can run around the city and choose the order I complete side missions (and get rid of a few bad guys that weren’t part of any missions), and a feeling of connection to the story with the missions (even the side missions feel connected in a round about way). This is what I like about these games and I know I’m not going to find everything I like in another series. I know I’ll be lucky to find half of what I like. I know there are other games in the Deus Ex series. I don’t know why I can’t seem to get into them like I do these other two. It’s not that they’re older games. I know I sound picky (and very long winded) and some may not agree with how I see these 2 games. That’s OK. That’s why there are abundant games out there to satisfy everyone’s taste. When I started playing video games we had Atari and Nintendo 64 and controllers. I still can’t get the hang of playing using a keyboard for action games. I tried Borderlands 2 and more often then not anything that hit was just lucky shots because I couldn’t control the game with the keyboard like I do with a controller. I have played those 2 games over again until I can run the whole game in my sleep. Just did both games 3 times in a row each.
