There isn't much in the way of big budget stealth games these days, and I wasn't going to help sink that ship by not buying one of them, you know? Metal Gear is a shambling corpse of what it once was, and while I keep hoping a new Splinter Cell will be announced every time Ubisoft announces new things, I fear that franchise may be on an extended hiatus. With MD, I intentionally limited my exposure to the game pre-release, because I knew I was going to buy it, unless it was objectively really bad, or horribly broken. And, of course, that game ended up being fantastic. In the case of Uncharted 4, the numerous delays, and seemingly troubled development (remember all the people that left Naughty Dog?) lowered my expectations.

That was five years ago, and any time you wait half a decade for a sequel, it starts to affect your expectations. It wasn't quite the Mass Effect and Metal Gear hybrid I've long dreamed of, but it felt like it was about as close as anyone was ever going to get. And, it combined two things that I really love: Tactical Espionage focused stealth, and dialog trees. That was a game that was pretty deeply flawed in a lot of ways, but still had plenty of heart. It's a great game, and for the most part, definitely better than Human Revolution (HR). Overall, I really like Mankind Divided (MD). This fish doesn't actually sing, and that's disappointing. So, all these months later, having played the game to completion, do I still think it's Game of the Year worthy? You probably already have an idea about that based on the title of this. Even then, that was based on basically nothing outside of the fact that I liked Human Revolution a lot, and had low or no expectations for a lot of the games this year that I ended up liking (The Witness, Overwatch, and Doom, etc). One of them was that Deus Ex: Mankind Divided would be my Game of the Year 2016. You probably don't remember, but last year, in The Moosies, I had some predictions about the following year.
