Project Eden.
>game takes place in a futuristic towering city where every layer below becomes more of an uncontacted slum until it degenerates into a horror game
It's a brutally cyberpunk puzzle game that was, for some reason, reviewed as a "third-person shooter" (this somehow isn't a joke). You solve puzzles using four party members you switch between, Lost Vikings style.

How is it not dystopian? Bunch of shadow organizations fighting for global domination and using people as their pawns, people dying on the streets because some bastards manufactured a pandemic to further their own agenda of being in control of distributing the cure, no police but judge/jury/executioner troops instead etc.

Asking how Deus Ex is dystopian is like asking how a Zelda game is a hero's journey.

they didn't predict shit. nothing in the game is novel. they just looked at contemporary political discourse and conspiracy theories.

you think it's novel because you weren't into politics or conspiracies back then

this, deus ex is just rehashed shit that was already established conventions by 80s cyberpunk literature and rp games. Even Transmetropolitan came before Deus Ex and that was actually fun unlike bearing the garbage gameplay from Deus Ex just to get some riped off dialogue straight from William Gibson's novels, old ass anime or the Matrix

At least the war is purely between classes in Deus Ex, and there's no white replacement/dick chopping shit in it. Sure, the manufactured plague is a bit more effective there, but they get plasma rifles and advanced cybernetics. All in all, Deus Ex world = less dystopian.

... what the fuck are you even talking about? "at least it was fun", but what game are you even comparing it to? There's no Transmetropolitan game afaik, and even if it exists... people still talk about Deus Ex despite it being a sleeper hit for PC gaming weirdos, and no one cares about your gay comic.

because it's worse than every other site but also better than every other site. it's just up to you to learn to ignore the garbage. almost every other site has comment voting systems and that makes people say random shit for upvotes instead of making good posts for the sake of making a good post.

I am going to play Deus Ex for the firs time, I got the GOG version and it comes with the revision mod, should I play my first run normally or is it fine to install the mod? I don't know how much it changes the visuals

It changes them quite a bit and I don't think it looks better. I'd play vanilla for your first time, but grab Kentie's Deus Exe launcher which is basically just for fixing bugs and getting it to run properly on modern systems.

Crusader duology, pic related is the logo of World Economic Consortium (sounds familiar?), the antagonists of both games.
>Global conglomerate monopoly that surpassed national governments and effectively replaced them
>Every sphere of life is managed by respective Cartels - Military Cartel, Mining Cartel, and so on and so forth.
>Their industrial facilities are just as deadly as those in China. Whoops! You fell into a vat of corrosive waste because there was no railings or any other protective measures. Whatever, bring in the replacement employee!
>The media spouts constant misinformation to the normies. When you blow up a tear gas storage facility the TV says it's nothing than a firework display that rendered the place "inoperable for the time being".
>High as fuck taxation.
>Military Cartel is comprises scores of not-so-nice guys sporting advanced military gear ranging from assault rifles, auto-shotguns to death rays that can burn one's flesh off or evaporate them to bipedal robots armed with heavy weaponry taken straight from RoboCop. These guys make sure you pay your taxes and obey the corporate law, rebel scum!

Too bad most of the Crusader lore is explained in those documents packaged with the game in the box. The game itself is pure isometric, bloody and explosive rampage of revenge against the totalitarian regime who once employed you.

I would mention Half-Life 2 here, but despite its age, this game doesn't look like "retro" to me.
