Cyberpunk 2077 vs Deus Ex: Invisible War
Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most revolutionary open-world adventures today and that's not all too surprising since it is created by the makers of the renowned The Witcher game series.In this game, you play as a V, a cyber-enhanced mercenary roaming the streets of Night City, a bustling metropolis riddled with crime, and its inhabitants, obsessed with power. Your actions and decisions will shape the story and the world around you, as well as the fate of the NPCs and other noteworthy characters you’ll encounter, like Judy Alvarez and Johnny Silverhand, who is played by Keanu Reeves. Exploring the neon-illuminated streets of Night City will lead you to interact with various factions, from corporate giants to gangs vying for power in the underground, that will give you quests and countless activities to do.
As V, you’ll have access to a massive collection of weapons and cybernetic enhancements designed to aid you in combat and in your quest to look for the implant that is key to immortality. The game has a massive collection of customization options, letting you change how V looks on a whim. Moreover, your implants and skills will decide your builds and overall playstyle. Whether you want to be a silent pistol assassin or be an all-out brawler, the choice is yours.
Deus Ex: Invisible War
Deus Ex: Invisible War is the first sequel to the Deus Ex game franchise and is perhaps one of the least known version. Set in a world 20 years after the events in the first game has concluded, Deus Ex: Invisible War lets you take part in the dark struggle between massive religious sects and powerful political factions that are hellbent on setting up and securing a world government that will pass policies that are in their favor; policies that will change the human society for decades and maybe centuries to come. The storyline in this game may be dark and dreary, but it is supported by plenty of responsive plot branches that will shape your narrative based on your actions and decisions.Aside from the many amazing new augments added to your arsenal, Deus Ex: Invisible War even has a much improved AI and stealth system where enemies will actively seek you (the intruder) out even when any sound is detected. This makes its stealth gameplay a whole lot more challenging. Of course, like the previous game, you'll also be given multiple (more peaceful) ways to avoid conflict if you so wish to.
Deus Ex: Invisible War is unfortunately the black sheep of the franchise. It has plenty of problems and let's not even mention about the incredibly long loading screens. Honestly, if you can afford the other games in the series, you might want to get those instead.
