To celebrate the announcement of Deus Ex Remastered, the original immersive sim classic is on sale now on Steam for less than $1. Deus Ex: Game of the Year Edition is just $0.97 on the platform for a limited time.
If you are new to the franchise or holding off for a Steam sale to add it to your collection, this is the perfect time to pick it up at its lowest price ever, according to SteamDB.
In fact, the entire franchise is on sale with some really steep discounts on Deus Ex: Invisible War, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
A chaotic world fueled by conspiracy
Set in 2052, and a loose sequel to future Deus Ex games starring Adam "I never asked for this" Jensen, JC Denton picks up the pieces in a chaotic, conspiracy theory-feuled version of the United States, overrun by drugs, disease, and pollution.
You are set loose in a world where economies are close to collapse, and the gap is widening between the filthy rich and the desperate poor.
What makes this game special is not the setup but how you shape the story through meaningful choices that you make, both in gameplay and dialogue. There are multiple solutions to a problem, and every playthrough encourages experimentation and taking different routes to see varied outcomes.
Without spoiling anything, the story draws heavily from conspiracy theories and current events, making it feel surprisingly grounded and believable. The game wears its influences on its sleeve: The X-Files, Robocop, and Bruce Sterling all stirred in a neat pot to a boil.
Deus Ex feels like a cyberpunk Dungeons and Dragons session, where player choice and agency are always at the forefront of everything you do. There is a reason why "Everytime you mention it. Someone will reinstall it." is a meme to this day.
The Deus Ex Collection bundle
The "Mixed" sequel, Deus Ex: Invisible War, is also $0.97. It's a divisive game that was held back by the technology of the time, but it's still worth checking out.
Then we have the Adam Jensen duology, the prequels Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. Human Revolution is set many years before the original and introduces another fan favorite character. The game is 85% off and available for just $2.39.
Set two years after the events of Human Revolution, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided continues Adam's story in Prague and is 85% off, available for just $4.49.
You can also grab the Deus Ex Collection bundle, which packages all the games and DLC together for just $9.55.
