Deus Ex: Invisible War Download PC

At its initial release, the game was acclaimed for its graphics and the freedom of choice in both gameplay and story. Criticism was directed towards below-par enemy artificial intelligence, controversial design choices, and issues with the PC port. The game has sold over one million copies worldwide as of 2011. Later opinions from both journalists and the game's staff have been polarised, with several websites calling Invisible War the weakest entry in the Deus Ex series. After several unsuccessful attempts at creating a third Deus Ex title prior to Ion Storm's 2005 closure, a prequel to the first game titled Deus Ex: Human Revolution was developed by Eidos Montréal and released in 2011.
