The latest free PC games are now available to redeem on the Epic Games Store, and at least one is an underrated classic. It’s Eidos Montreal’s Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, available until March 21st. You’ll need an Epic Games account to claim it and the Epic Games Launcher to play it, though.
As a follow-up to the critically acclaimed Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Mankind Divided continues the story of Adam Jensen. Augmented humans face prejudice after the Aug Incident, and Jensen quickly finds himself caught between the Illuminati, Juggernaut Collective and the Augmented Rights Coalition.
The sequel offers even more side mission chains and immersive sim mechanics, with your decisions influencing their outcomes. Jensen can also take advantage of new abilities, which allows players to lean further into stealth or all-out combat. Though receiving critical praise (check out our review here), Deus Ex: Mankind Divided was criticized for its cliffhanger ending.
Unfortunately, a sequel isn’t forthcoming, as rumors claim the Embracer Group cancelled a new title in the series after two years of development. Eidos Montreal is reportedly working on an original franchise, so stay tuned for further announcements in the future.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is free on the @EpicGames Store until March 21!
