L’ESRB déconseille aux mineurs de jouer à Deus Ex 3, car le jeu contient du sang, de la drogue, des scènes d’une intense violence, du cul, des gros mots et de l’alcool. Bref, tout ce qui plait aux mineurs.
Firefights are highlighted by screams of pain, realistic gunfire, explosions, and large sprays of blood that stain the surrounding environment. Players can sometimes make choices that result in the death of innocent characters: during one sequence, an injured man asks to be “put out of his misery”—the main character can then administer a morphine overdose. Civilians can also be killed directly, though this may negatively affect players’ progress. As the game progresses, alcoholic beverages (e.g., beer, vodka, cocktails) can be purchased and consumed to reduce damage, resulting in a screen-blurring effect. In one mission, players can plant “illegal drugs” in a character’s residence; marijuana products (i.e., “cigaweed”) are occasionally referenced in the dialogue. Some missions contain sexual material: a brothel room containing a sex toy on the bed; dialogue with prostitutes (e.g., “They want me to get augmentations . . . for the customer’s pleasure. It’s sick” and “[W]e can find a quiet spot . . . Do you have enough money for me, sexy?”). The words “f**k” and “sh*t” can be heard in the dialogue.
Plus sérieusement, d’après ce qu’on a pu voir du jeu, Deus Ex: Human Revolution s’annonce comme étant meilleur que Deus Ex et Deus Ex 2 réunis.
