I’ll recommend the original here. It doesn’t come close in looks, looking like the 20-year-old game it is, even with the fan made HD patches, but the world design, story, and interaction are great.

And FWIW, I spent very little time with Cyberpunk before shelving it.

I'll second that. It's my favorite game of all time.

insert HongKong or UNATCO music here

I still listen to the soundtrack from time to time. It is just great music and makes me wish I could "unplay" and play again for the first time.

I hope they do at some point make another Deus Ex game. One as good as the first one, Human Revolution or Mankind Divided.

Reportedly, Eidos Montreal is working on a new one, after they got acquired by Embracer.

All the DX soundtracks are great, I listen to them while working pretty often.

I randomly chose a Spotify playlist recently called "Programming music". Was a few hours in, and was like, "hmmmm, this music sounds weirdly familiar", checked the playlist, it was a few hours of Deus Ex music! It was perfect to write code to!

My favourite series of games by a long margin

Because they deserve linking every time someone mentions them.
