It didn’t feel like it should have been in the main game even though it involved some of the same companies and people. Unlike Desperate Measures, however, its events occur after the main game, feature a hub area to explore, and its story felt substantial and complete. Like Desperate Measures, System Rift takes place in Prague. I just think it was out of place being in a separate menu and not in the base game itself. There was a variety of ways to get through the level and the map design was great as always for a Deus Ex game. The gameplay was the same as the base game whereby you could level up Jensen for stealth, combat, or both. You also gain experience throughout the whole thing so you can receive more Praxis Kits. As a consequence, you are given a handful of Praxis Kits at the start of the mission to level Jensen up. This makes the story feel out of place and disjointed. This means that you can’t explore the hub world. You have to access it through a separate tab in the main menu.

The one problem I had with the mission is that, even if you purchased it before playing the base game, the mission isn’t put into the game itself. What I found most interesting were the emails that tied into the first full season pass DLC, System Rift. It also provides a choice at the end whereby you can decide what to do with the information you learned. The story itself isn’t the most interesting but it does provide a little insight into who was the bomber. After interviewing a metro employee who claims a Tarvos Security Officer had access to the footage before the police, Jensen heads off to the local Tarvos offices in Prague to investigate.

Taking place after the Ruzicka Train Station bombing, Desperate Measures sees Adam Jensen following up on a tip that the Intellicam Footage (security camera film in normal parlance) may have been intentionally corrupted. It honestly should have been included with the main game but was probably chopped out to sweeten the preorder pot. It is a single mission and offers the least content of the three DLCs in the season pass. Let’s begin!Īlthough originally just a bonus for preordering, Desperate Measures was later included in the season pass. There will be a section for each DLC along with a score. This will be more informal than a regular review. While the gameplay has stayed the same as the main game (you can read my thoughts about it here), I wanted to discuss the stories of each piece of DLC and whether I liked some of it better than the main game itself. Having just finished the Season Pass for Mankind Divided, I wanted to come back and offer my thoughts on all the content contained therein. WARNING: Contains minor spoilers for the main game.
