Wait what video? I would legit watch this, very fond memories as a kid playing Deus Ex after finding it at a thrift shop for $1 the year after it came out.
Hbomberguy has a 3,5 hours one about why Deus ex human revolution is okish and the original great. So spoiler for human revolution, but if you played both it will definitely scratch that itch:

TL;Dr Human Revolution was clearly unfinished and it's both pretty obvious and fairly disappointing.
The final product is fun, but you can tell it was supposed to be something bigger.
I do also love YourFavoriteSon's 3hr20 retrospective on the whole series, Gingy's 2h18 story breakdown of the series as well as NeverKnowBest's 2h10 retrospective on the whole series!
(Love a good long-form video essay on videogames lol)

Warlockracy has a 2.5 hour video on the original game, and another hour long video on a fan made sequel using the original engine.
