    'The Next Step in the Evolution of Games': 25 Years Ago, This Forgotten RPG Changed Gaming Forever

    Video games, despite their electronic nature, are not entirely static, and the same can be said of role-playing games, which have grown significantly in scope and scale over the last few decades. In terms of Eastern RPGs, the original Final Fantasy is far more simplistic than the grander and grittier Final Fantasy XVI. The evolution of technology, particularly software, has had a profound impact on video games overall. Of all genres, role-playing games have arguably been the most significantly impacted by this evolution, with many eager to showcase new features as a result.

    One role-playing game that stands out above the rest is Deus Ex, first released on June 23, 2000. Deus Ex wasn't the first RPG to incorporate features like a first-person perspective or a wide, customizable world, but it was arguably the first to do so effectively. It was justifiably acclaimed at the time for these innovations, and even twenty-five years later, Deus Ex deserves to be celebrated for its accomplishments. Not bad for the same team that made Daikatana.
