Here's my favourite essay on it, that doesn't only go into the game details but also the underlying narrative, political and economical philosophy that makes this game one of a kind: [VIDEO] It all starts with a pandemic.

I have to mention Ross' Youtube channel Accursed Farms' review [0] [1] [2] of Deus Ex. I would highly recommended watching them: "I came for a game review and left with a better understanding of the economy and politics. Ross you blow my mind" [0] [VIDEO] [1] [LINK] [2] [LINK]

Pros: - not have to worry about replenishing your bank account every month - have all your modest needs in life met - workplace is in a way the only community of like-minded people have outside of family Cons: - help realise someone else's dream - you might forget you have any dreams of your own at all --- My adult mind has been shaped by the controversial, maybe conspiratorial discussion about self-employment rates over the past century in the Deus Ex game, and as I've grown older, I've found I'd rather struggle on my own path rather than making myself care about someone else's idea.
