Deus Ex

The year is 2052 and the world is in chaos. Terrorism is a daily occurance in the world: a world where drugs, disease, and pollution roam freely. The economy has collapsed, there is no middle class, and the rich get richer while the poor get poorer. Now a global conspiracy is in place, where an organization wanting global domination has emerged from the shadows. Now you must find your true destiny in this world, whether it is for the best or worst.

Released on June 22, 2000 and developed by Ion Storm Inc., Deus Ex is a combination of a first-person-shooter and a role-playing game. It allows you to completely customize your character however you want with biochemical augmentations and skill training (an example of an augmentation is one that makes you run at twice your speed, while an example of a skill is learning how to become a master with a sniper rifle). The possibilities are endless, and as you perfect your character, you must also deal with an epic storyline that spans the globe and has a new twist at every turn. The game is well-known for its stylish non-linear gameplay, deep storyline, detailed characters, role-playing elements, and dystopian future setting.
