(Also see: Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Director On Reinventing the Series and a New Gameplay Mode )ДЇor all the positives of our initial impressions, there are some niggles with Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. Be it the scale and size of your health bars to a range of control options ranging from traditional FPS button mapping to the game's own bespoke control scheme, there's enough ways to play it how you'd want to, even on consoles.

Mankind Divided can be moulded into an experience of your choosing. Even the gunplay has been improved, making running and gunning a feasible option from the start. What this means is, you can switch out one for another, adding a welcome level of complexity that the prior games lacked. One interesting feature is that the game's power-ups, or augs as they're called, can be balanced. From pure stealth to dialogue or simply brute force, all of these are present in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, with some interesting additions. There are several ways to finish an objective. The strongest point of the franchise has been its open-ended nature of gameplay.

While games in the series haven't traditionally been known for their visuals, Mankind Divided seems to change that. Being the first game in the series running on Square Enix's Dawn Engine, it's quite the looker, even on the Xbox One. From the gritty streets of Prague to dilapidated hotels in Dubai, the strong, well-defined art direction stands out. With Mankind Divided, the series has opted for a white and grey colour palette, and it looks refreshingly different.

Though if you do have the time, you'd do well to play Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut to soak up all the lore and detail to get a better idea about the series. There's a 12 minute video in the game's Extras that recap events prior, which is a convenient way to get up to speed with what happened in the earlier game.

We've played the first few hours of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided on the Xbox One and this what you need to know before parting with your money. Unlike the likes of Assassin's Creed or Call of Duty, it's managed to stay away from regular, yearly iterations.ДЄlthough it's releasing five years later, the new game picks up right where Human Revolution left off. The franchise has been around since 2000, but Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is only the fifth game in the series, with the last game being 2011's fantastic Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
