Helping to drive the story is succinct and intelligent dialogue, with careful drops of sarcasm. Pivotal conversations can have different outcomes Determining character allegiances is ever a concern and this culminates into tough decisions regarding the disclosure of information. For stalwarts of the series, returning themes relating to the Illuminati and AI constructs will feel comfortably familiar. The conspiracy element is rife and the story ties elegantly into the original. There are text-based interactions too although not nearly enough given the setting. Naturally this means a lot of conversations but, fortunately, the subject matter is engrossing. Throughout the city, and across other locations, there are many characters that become part of the intriguing story. Away from the city, several missions will take Jensen to bigger game spaces that have a more traditional structure. These side missions allow Jensen to dictate outcomes either by choosing his words or deciding on specific actions. Another has Jensen investigating a murderer with a penchant for harvesting augmentations. One optional side mission takes Jensen to a Bank that safeguards information, and he must navigate its multi-tiered granite floors to find proof that will deflect prying eyes. Missions make excellent use of each corner in Prague. Prague changes throughout the game, as Jensen later returns at night when stores close and the red-light district comes alive. Travelling between the two hubs is common-and a test of patience thanks to modest load times. The city is split into two sections with Jensen’s apartment situated in the smaller part. There are rooftops to explore, alleys with storage garages to unlock, apartments to raid, and sewers in which to get lost. Across the city there are many artistic designs that draw the eye, from holographic displays to advertising sculptures. Shops are unique, streets become familiar, and the open layout is pleasing to navigate. It is a clear improvement over Detroit and Hengsha from the previous game. Prague is a beautiful city and a great open world hub. Prague is a great hub with many places to explore On returning to Prague, a dramatic event disables Jensen’s augmentations and he must start from scratch-one of several clever devices that mesh the basic RPG mechanics with story. Like its predecessors, Mankind Divided emphasizes choice through conversation, stealth, action, alternate routes, or information collection and this first area provides many options. This starter level is a fantastic tutorial because it gives players nearly all augmentations, allowing them to see which suit their play style best. Before players can explore the city, they must complete an opening mission in Dubai. Set in 2029, two years after the previous game, Jensen will be embroiled in the havoc that surrounds this divide.Īdam Jensen is now working for Interpol, more specifically a covert task force (TF29) with headquarters located in Prague. This dichotomy is adequately represented in the main location of Prague, as the Augmented are forced to take special trains and live in a downtrodden corner of the city. This created segregation across the world and now the Augmented, like Jensen himself, are treated like scum. After the chaos abated, the Naturals (unaugmented) feared the remaining enhanced. The cyberpunk prequel ended with millions of Augmented people going crazy, murdering others against their will. Adam Jensen drops by for another cyberpunk adventureīefore Adam Jensen can explore all the vents in Mankind Divided, we must reflect on the final events in Human Revolution.
