Spitfire’s Backlog - This Update is Augmented

Hello again.

In my previous update, I announced that the next two games I was going to be playing, would be Abyss Odyssey and Zeno Clash 2. That was 2 months ago.. Meanwhile, I’ve been very slowly chipping away at Abyss Odyssey. The reason being that I find it quite unenjoyable. Maybe it’s due to my lack of familiarity with the genre, or maybe it’s due to the horrible controls, but all I know is, I’m not having a whole lot of fun playing it.
It’s a shame, because I was looking forward to playing it, and AO has a lot going for it (interesting lore, beautiful aesthetic), but it’s all for naught, since I dislike the gameplay. Despite that, I’ve made quite a bit of progress, and I hope I’ll be able to finish it soon.

Since Abyss Odyssey has been such a disappointing experience, I felt the need to start playing another game from my backlog to cleanse my pallet. A legendary game, which has eluded me for many years.
The title of this post probably gives it away, but in case you haven’t realized yet, I’m talking about the one and only: Deus Ex.

After the Abyss Odyssey experience, Deus Ex feels like such a breath of fresh air. I’m only on my second mission, but I’m really enjoying it so far.
I’m going for a pacifist playthrough, meaning I’m going to use stealth and non-lethal abilities throughout the game. In other words, I’m not going to kill anyone. JC Denton is a lover, not a fighter ;)
For those of you interested, I’m using the Deus Ex: Revision mod, but with the original soundtrack and the original character models. I’m basically just using the mod to play the game at 1080p 60 fps.

TL;DR: Did not like Abyss Odyssey; Deus Ex is awesome.
