With everything going on in the world today we took the opportunity for a nice bit of escapism into a beloved game of our adolescence. A respite into a world where… wait a minute … A pandemic is ravaging the planet, there are riots in the street, and misinformation spreads like wildfire causing the collapse of government institutions? Well anyway, it's the 20th anniversary of the release of Deus Ex which became a standard-bearer for the immersive sim genre, and an early take on the cyberpunk genre in video games. Join Bryan and Josh for a deep dive into what made this game special and how it holds up today.
