Deus Ex vs Half Life
Deus Ex
Deus Ex is the first game in the Deus Ex game series which has risen to fame and had gained a massive somewhat-cult following due to its second sequel. The game is incredibly old-school and hence, its graphics may put a lot of players off, but the game offers an immersively detailed storyline that is set in a rather chaotic year of 2052. You even get to play as a super-cool cyborg who has many amazing augments, skills and weapons at his disposal. The game is not all shoot and kill though. It also has many ways for you to avoid bloody confrontation, which frankly will definitely delight players who enjoy having alternative approaches to an encounter.Unlike many other games that adds in fantastical elements to enhance its gameplay, Deus Ex is a game that emphasize on the possible problems and issues that a futuristic human world may experience. It deals in conspiracy and the human nature rather than fantasy and that's what made the game incredibly unique back in the day (and this statement is also relevant until today).
Half Life
Half Life is the first game in the famous Half Life series that has gained a certain amount of infamy among gamers mainly because Valve has refused their fans' request to create a Half Life 3. That being said, the game itself is pretty old - released back in 1998 - and it was a shining gem of a game back in its time because of its amaing gameplay and engaging storyline. Unlike any other games in the 90s, Half Life manages to combine action and adventure along with a what-was-back-then a realistic world into one amazing package. The game also has a multiplayer mode that turns the game's many maps into arenas for you to play against your friends.Half Life is one of "those games" that almost every gamer (midcore and above) would at least have heard of before. It's as classic as classic games go. If you enjoy old-school games, Half Life is probably one of the first few games you'd want to play.
