On the one hand, as noted, the game suffers hideously from 'Mass Effect 3 syndrome', or perhaps ME3 suffers from 'Deus Ex syndrome' as it came first.
Anyway.
It's GREAT, and I do mean GREAT...up to the last 10 minutes, and then they squander it HEARTBREAKINGLY, in my opinion. Which made me have to by a new mouse, somewhat like you, as I threw it against a wall, rather than the window. Yes, literally.
Seems as if the people that make these games have something in their genetic make-up that forces them to include multiple-choice scenes about the bleakness of being, existentialism and mans inhumanity to man, bollocks, rot and bloody nonsense...

On the other hand, Deus Ex Mankind Divided is on the way, revealed a 3-4 weeks ago, and features the same main character, the game set two years after the Human Revolution, which means that those endings, presumably, can be safely ignored. And HR IS a spectacularly fun and interesting game, up until...

Note also that HR is set much earlier in the game world, where augmentation is very much in its infancy, and so the slick nanotech of the first games haven't appeared yet, instead you'll see electro-mechanical stuff, much more 'shadowrun'.

Oh, and if you DO play it, there is a post-credits scene that is worth watching. Popular, nowadays, those.
...!
Gott's Leetle Feesh in Trousers!
