Deus Ex: Mankind Divided – Praxis Kits

Recommended Videos

Deus Ex, E3 2016, Square Enix

When it comes to DLC, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided’s Praxis Kits feel incredibly out of place since they are never needed. Effectively what they allow users to do is buy points to spend on upgrades for Jensen, nullifying any challenge within the title itself. Given that Praxis points already unlock at a steady pace and can even be discovered or purchased in-game via credits, this feels as if it’s trying to subvert the gameplay itself.

It also doesn’t help that a lot of the actual unlocks only cost a small amount of Praxis points, meaning it won’t take long for players to get the abilities they want. On top of all this, none of the Praxis points that you purchase will carry over to multiple save files or repeat playthroughs. This means if you want to either start over or try a different character build in Deus Ex, users would have to constantly rebuy these upgrades. Given that the Deus Ex series is all about multiple playthroughs, there is no reason why customers should be punished for wanting to try the game a second or third time, especially when the items being offered can directly affect the gameplay.
