The few loose Praxis kits I found were instrumental in my being able to get those secondary objectives tied up.Įven with this limitation, the facility that I had to infiltrate was easily as fun as any I did in the main game. I get that this makes it accessible for all players as it is unrelated to their story progress, but I was really hoping to use those advanced aug powers and it was rough having to scrounge for every little biocell and weapon part. (I had to completely forgo combat augs or any of the cool advanced stuff). When I eventually ran into poison gas, weak walls, heavy path blockers, turrets and drones, I had to make some choices, try them out and make them again. I play a stealthy hacker style, and so most of my points went into hacking and the cloak.
The game gives out some Praxis points to get things started, but I was nevertheless left scrambling as things went along. While I didn't mind being cut off from the sprawl of the main game, I wasn't too thrilled to basically have a completely unleveled Jensen, bereft any inventory or weapons. The Prague bit gave me a chance to pick up a few items and weapons, as well as the few secondary/optional objectives. It starts with a slight subsection of Prague before going into the facility that makes up the meat of the gameplay. It's roughly equivalent to one of the larger levels/missions in the main game. I'm also fairly certain that 'System Rift' avoids spoiling almost anything in the main game, as it carries a slight prequel feel, which I why I say it's a side story. By the end, however, it was pretty clear, 'System Rift' is (I'm pretty sure of this) a side story that leads into, not the main game, but into the Breach Mode. I basically jumped into the DLC without really knowing where in the timeline it fell.
There are some very obvious DLC esque issues. So it came as a surprise that I mostly loved 'System Rift.'
And in general, I find that most story DLC, largescale or otherwise, is often barebones and compromised when compared to the main game to be really worth the price of admission. When I reviewed ' Deus Ex: Mankind Divided,' I wasn't left really hungering for DLC.
