Cyberpunk 2077 vs Deus Ex: The Fall
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: The Fall
Deus Ex: The Fall is a mobile spin-off (but now it's available on PC, Steam specifically) of the brilliant Deus Ex franchise. However, as you might have expect from a mobile game/port, Deus Ex: The Fall is incredibly basic with very limited controls. You'll still get to play the way you like whether to go into combat head-on or stealthily, but it's just not as exciting or impactful (as claimed).The background for the story in this game is somewhat all right I suppose. The game casts you into the role of Ben Saxon, a former British SAS-turned-mercenary with military-grade augments who is desperate to find out the truth behind the drug conspiracy involving the very drug that all augmented humans need to survive. However, many of the events that are supposed to push the story forward seems to fall short of doing exactly that, making these events rather meaningless. Unlike the non-spin-off games, the decisions you make in the game, however few they may be, doesn't feel important enough either. The game ends with somewhat of a cliffhanger, hinting at a sequel that will probably never come.
Deus Ex: The Fall may be a rather decent for a relatively unknown mobile game, but for a franchise as huge as Deus Ex, this game just seems to disappoint everyone. It's not a free-to-play either so if you saved up to buy this game, you might want to continue to save a bit more to get the other Deus Ex games (not the second game though) instead.
