Has anyone played this? I was surprised that it's actually been getting good reviews.
This was developed by the same core team as Deus Ex: HR and MD. Not the "B team" that made Shadow of the Tomb Raider and assisted on the shitty Crystal Dynamics Avengers game.

I'll always see this as the game that EM made instead of Deus Ex 5, but still the good reviews it's been getting to intrigue me.

Yeah this is intriguing, and I'm glad to see EM still putting out well-received games, tho the combat looks like a very FFXV-ish thing where you're locked in small arenas fighting very bulletspongy enemies, which isn't my kinda thing. Think I'll wait for a sale.

Yeah, my impression is that I might enjoy the game's storytelling and characters, but the combat would be a turn-off. Well, that and the way Starlord looks in this.

The art style of both this and the Avengers one they did still baffle me.
Either do a proper tie-in to the MCU with likenesses of the actors, or do something unique based on comics. Going with the exact movie designs but the wrong faces just looks like an error or a cheap knock-off.

I picked it up on PS5, played the first few missions and had a revelation. You know what this game is? It's friggin Anachronox! Great cast of alien misfits led by some earth dude who thinks he's cooler than he really is. Crazy planets. Good storytelling. Bad combat gameplay.
Like I suspected, the combat really ain't my bag, but everything else makes up for it. I'm curious to see where the story goes next.

Well, that's probably the one thing I've heard about this game that, more than anything else, makes me want to play it. Nicely done, henke!
