Deus Ex Video Game Series
Deus Ex is a series of action-RPG games, the plot of which is set in the dystopian future. The series was created by the Ion Storm studio, and is currently being developed by the Eidos Montreal development team.
The fathers of the series are considered to be Warren Spector and Harvey Smith, developers of the first installment of the series - Deus Ex, which was released in 2000 for PC (a port to the PlayStation 2 console was prepared two years later). The game, combining elements of a cRPG, stealth, and first-person shooter, is still counted among the 100 most important titles in the history of the industry. The 2003 sequel, Deus Ex: Invisible War, was received with slightly less enthusiasm. However, the series' high aspirations were restored by the release of the game Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which was considered one of the best games of 2011.
The action of the series Deus Ex takes place in the not-too-distant future. In doing so, the developers adopted a cyberpunk vision of a world saturated with electronics, which also interferes with the human body through special implants. The particular games in the series present different stories and characters, but their common denominator is their efforts to thwart attempts to exert control over society using various technologies.
The games in the series offer a mature, at times highly convoluted storyline. Players also have considerable freedom of action in the virtual world of the future. So the course of the plot often depends on the decisions made and the results of specific actions.
Despite a relatively large group of loyal fans, the Deus Ex series has never been one of the best earning games. However, it has clearly influenced the development of the industry, as well as mass culture. Plans include a film adaptation of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, on which Scott Derrickson and Robert Cargill are working on.

The fourth major installment in a popular cyberpunk action-RPG series. The game was developed by Eidos Montreal, who previously developed two other parts of the cycle, as well as the 2014 reboot of the cult Thief franchise. The game is set 2 years after the events of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. The player again assumes the role of an Interpol agent, Adam Jensen, who fights criminal organizations in different parts of the world. In accordance with the tradition of the series, gameplay is non-linear, allowing the player to choose the ways of dealing with in-game problems: from open confrontation to stealth approach. As compared with the previous game, this time you have access to twice as many biochips and special abilities that are gradually unlocked throughout the gameplay. Another vital element are the consequences of your choices – all your actions and conversations can bear consequences later in the game.
