Deus Ex Is Still (Probably) The Greatest Game Ever

Depending on what day of the week you ask me, Deus Ex is the greatest game ever made.

I haven't kept track, but I'm certain Deus Ex is the game I've beaten the most over the years, and I'm not one who typically replays games over and over.

Deus Ex is a game where its sum is greater than its parts. Combat is clunky, the stealth is fine but there's plenty better. There's plenty of jank all over the place. But it's how it all comes together that makes it what it is.
