The presentation of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is pretty mixed. If you just speed through it you could complete it in about 10 I suspect but you'd be missing out a lot of what makes the game's universe so interesting.
The game took me 30 hours+ to complete but then I love exploring and collecting everything I can, hacking all the computers and reading all the lore. Mankind Divided has a large hub city to explore where all the side missions are then several other locations Adam gets sent to on missions. There are a huge variety of ways to get to objectives through various shortcuts including large jumps, through sewers, over rooftops, vents, punching walls, hacking doors, with the games extra challenges I love like completing the game without tripping any alarms or without killing anyone which at times can be tough. To follow that freedom is the designs of the levels. There are plenty of weapons and gadgets to compliment them from stun guns to grenade launchers and hacking tools all of which can be sold, bought and upgraded as you choose. There are also skills allowing you to slow time while aiming, electrocute people etc. There are skills that allow players to hack doors, see through walls or have temporary cloaking for those that want to play completely stealthy. Each ability has different trees expanding upon what it can do allowing the player to specialize in a style or jack of all trades as they see fit. Being augmented Jenson has a lot of abilities you can unlock using praxis kits that are gained either through experience points from actions or can be bought or found in the world. It's a first person shooter/role playing game hybrid though how you really want to play is up to you. I would have liked more like that throughout the game.
Fortunately to compliment the main story there are a number of side quests to both find and complete which are generally speaking of a much higher quality than the main story allowing Jenson to interact with more characters and just feel more fleshed out.
Just as it was all starting to get interesting the game also ends, it's not quite a cliff hanger but it practically went "to be continued". I enjoyed the story quite a bit, it has some interesting themes but isn't quite focused enough on it's direction or characters and is probably the weakest aspect of the game. To sum up though you play a character called Adam Jenson a former head of security for Sarif industries, who now works for Interpol stopping terrorist attacks. Though there is a catch up video you can watch, I'd recommend playing Human revolution if you can just because it's fantastic. This is a sequel to Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
