deus ex: mankind divided

in case anyone was on edge about getting this, I just finished it tonight.
it plays smoother than human revolutions, the story was less disjoined, and and with the exception of one major thing I thought it was the better of the 2 Adam Jensen games. any reviews about stability issues honestly are overblown, I had 2 crashes on the first day that were already patched out, and frames have been smooth as butter on all high with a gtx970 at 1080p on my crappy old AMD 8350. generally speaking it was a fairly solid release, a lot of people whining were probably trying to play on a 21:9 resolution with an underpowered system. the game looks really pretty as well.
the major thing I have issue with: it's short. I played through extremely slow and stealthy and all side missions and main story took me less than 30 hours of play time. haven't done the "bonus" mission from the season pass yet or touched the breach game mode thing, but how short the main story was by itself is off putting to me, especially having just come off finally finishing witcher 3 and the 100+ hours of play time that took (and technically I'm still not even done with everything yet there). I felt the story was just starting to get really engaging, then credits rolled, which was quite disappointing.
imo, pick it up on a sale if you enjoyed human revolution. it's too short to warrant a AAA+season pass price tag imo, and due to the season pass nonsense by waiting you'll get more content at a better price.
