Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - A Criminal Past

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided – A Criminal Past is a story expansion for the 2016’s Deus Ex: Mankind Divided for PC, PS4 and XONE. It is a non-standalone add-on, which means that it requires having the vanilla game installed. Eidos Montreal, the team behind such titles as Thief and Deus Ex: Human Revolution, developed both productions.

Plot

A Criminal Past is a prequel to Deus Ex: Mankind Divided so it tells a story that takes place before the events of this game. The DLC shows one of the first missions that Adam Jensen took on for Task Force 29, the Interpol spec ops anti-terror unit.

Jensen has to work undercover as an inmate in a special prison for dangerous augmented criminals. His task is to learn what happened to a Task Force 29 operative who operated in the area and with whom all contact was recently lost.

Mechanics

A Criminal Past doesn’t introduce any major changes to the mechanics of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. The game is still an action RPG in which levels are designed to allow us perform the given task in numerous different ways.

While playing, the player can develop the protagonist’s abilities by enhancing augmentations. The game also rewards exploration since many valuable secrets are hidden in the virtual world.

Technical aspects

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided – A Criminal Past for PC, PS4 and XONE requires the core version in order to work.
