A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game.

Now that Deus Ex has been cancelled, what other games scratch the Deus Ex itch? (lemm.ee)

It's kind of sad that one of the greatest video game series is on hold for now.
Conspiracy theories, multiple ways of solving a mission, game lore hidden in computer inboxes...
Are there any (pre-2010) games that gave you the same feeling or do a similar thing?

Well, it is from 2010. But I will still recommend Alpha Protocol.

AP is one of the greatest RPGs of all time with amazing mechanics, your choices really matter and the dialogues are amazing. But at the same time the mechanics are janky AF, some skills are bonkers and the graphics are mediocre even for the era.

A must play in my book!

While it scratches the immersive sims itch...it's not a good game by any means

There are some story-rich RPG shooters that are almost pre-2010 I could recommend, like maybe Dishonored or Fallout 3/New Vegas. But pre-2010 is tough, only ones I can think of are the System Shock or maybe Thief games.

Man, System Shock 2 was so good
