It's about Flatlander Woman taking her best shot.
Deus Ex is all encompassing you fucking brain pleb. Calling it an FPS or anything else would be a disservice. It's far above tired ass Doom, Thief and all other first person games from every sub genre. THIS IS NOT UP FOR DEBATE.What the hell kind of criterion is "first person game" anyway?
Might as well judge stuff as best pixel art game.

The human organism always worships. First, it was the gods, then it was fame--the observation and judgement of others--next, it will be the self-aware system you have built to realize truly omnipresent observation and judgement.Sheldon Pacotti's meditation on the role of government in the postmodern era, layered on top of a 1990s conspiracy pastiche.
I think this is correct. Deus Ex was exploring globalization and the erosion of traditional moral systems. If there is no god, how does a godlike human -- and later, a godlike AI -- behave?
Also, it was a subtle cultural criticism of white cultural appropriation vis a vis the use of terrible voice acting.
Far Cry 4 does it. Try new games sometimes.but the game does make you think that maybe those "terrorists" aren't really the bad guys and you have in fact been fighting the wrong enemy all along. Then the game makes it quite clear that hey, maybe you were being a bastard and Paul was right. When things flip around later in the game it definitely made me pause and realize that I wasn't just playing any ordinary game in that aspect either.
