We’re now five years on, and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is arriving on a wave of expectation, rather than cautious misgivings. Then it topped it all off with some outstanding cyberpunk-via-the-Renaissance art direction and Michael McCann’s superb score.

The big-name publisher best known for Final Fantasy, a cross-platform release (still considered dubious in 2011, especially after Invisible War’s console-related problems), and protagonist Adam Jensen’s passing resemblance to SomethingAwful meta-reference Johnny Five Aces all drew suspicious glances from people fearful of a series-deaf reboot. It’s easy to forget that prior to its release, Deus Ex: Human Revolution was subject to a withering bout of fan cynicism.
