10 Hotly-Anticipated Video Games That Will Disappoint You In 2016

3. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

What will go wrong: The story goes off the deep end when it comes to super-powered augments. I can't be only one who played through Deus Ex: Human Revolution and was increasingly put off by how the story unfolded, surely? Initially starting out as this Six Million Dollar Man-style narrative of a wounded agent coming back into the fold thanks to the aid of augmented limbs, the assumption was that Eidos would delve into some sort of Cyborg-style narrative of what it means to be human. By the time the credits hit though, we'd had this bizarre reveal where hero Adam Jensen was attempting to stop an evil corporation from activating the entire populace's biotech implants, all the while fighting a slew of super-powered villains, dealing with zombified citizens and finishing by choosing an ending cutscene from a three-button panel. In short, it went off the deep end by indulging way too much in the most ludicrous possibilities of augmented humans - the exact setup that Mankind Divided has from the get-go.
