Pritchard approaches Jensen in hopes of obtaining help accessing servers within a new Palisade location so he can steal some information, but nothing ever goes as planned. It does incorporate everyone’s favorite Pritchard and even brings in The Breach’s ShadowChild in a small visual role, but other than the catering to Human Revolution fans, there’s not a lot of intrigue surrounding the plot. Similar to Mankind Divided, the biggest problem with System Rift is the story. At the same time, it would have been great for everything that occurs in System Rift to count towards the overall progress, as in the end it feels unnecessary. To a degree this brings out the best in System Rift as our protagonist becomes far more vulnerable, especially if you’re used to a supped-up, post-game Jensen, so working around the limitations becomes a thoughtful challenge. It’s a very sectioned off location, to the point where Jensen doesn’t retain any of his abilities, and is instead left with a handful of praxis kits and weapons.
It could have easily been added as an optional train ride, similar to that of one of the earliest missions in Mankind Divided. The answer isn’t entirely clear as the location Jensen heads to in the world is brand new, but quite limited in scale. The big concern with a piece of DLC coming out so quickly is whether or not that content could have been implemented as a side quest. While this brings Jensen to yet another location with a plethora of possibilities, System Rift seems to suffer from a lot of the problems Mankind Divided had.Īccess to System Rift can be found in Jensen’s Stories, a subsection in the main menu instead of integrated right into the core experience, and this can be a bit puzzling. Since Jensen is in Prague, it only seems right to help an old “friend,” even though that means breaking into another Palisade bank and hacking into their servers to recover valuable information. The first is more of a throwback to Human Revolution than anything else out there as Adam Jensen is approached by former colleague Francis Pritchard, a somewhat egomaniac individual who worked for Sariff Industries under their cyber-security division, who is in need of some help. When other RPGs such as Dark Souls 3 and The Witcher 3 take close to half a year before new content starts rolling out, or even Destiny which is basically an annualized franchise at this point, Eidos Montreal is wasting no time getting the ball rolling. It has been just over a month since Deus Ex: Mankind Divided hit store shelves and already Square Enix is not only releasing brand new story content for the game, but charging for it.
