What is Cyberpunk?

Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution and its sequel Deus Ex: Mankind Divided was a great reboot of the series, but what do you think of the original Deus Ex?

It was a Game of the Year contender in 2000, but what about in 2024? Is it still worth playing? Or are the gameplay and graphics a bit too... dated.

If it's still worth playing, are there any mods to help make the game more tolerable for today's standards?

It's a great game and you should play it, but it's definitely an old game without a lot of the quality of life improvements afforded to us in the modern era.

Remember to save early and often, and also in multiple slots

My memory escapes me, but isn't there a spot in the game where if you made a bad choice, it affects something a few hours later?

That's the whole game! ... But don't sweat it about making 'bad' choices, I wouldn't say there's a correct route.
