Steam deal: Popular RPG shooter now 90% off and available for under $1

In Deus Ex, players step into the role of JC Denton, a cybernetically enhanced agent in a dystopian cyberpunk world dominated by conspiracies and powerful secret organizations. Initially working for the UN-backed UNATCO, JC soon uncovers deeper forces at play behind global conflicts. With choices shaping the story, players decide whom to trust, directly influencing the game's outcome.

Played from a first-person perspective, Deus Ex stands out for its high level of freedom. Stealth-focused players can disable cameras, sneak through ventilation shafts or use non-lethal weapons, while those who prefer action have access to pistols, assault rifles and explosives. Whether through direct combat, silent takedowns or clever hacking, every mission offers multiple solutions.
