Right. I'm pretty close to finishing up a massive rewrite and tidying of this article, hopefully to bring it back to GA status after it rightly lost it in January this year. The remaining outstanding sections are bits of Reception, and the Legacy/Sequel section. Other eyes as now and afterwards would be more than welcome.
Alerting editors @PresN, TheJoebro64,  and Cukie Gherkin: as I talked with them about the article and associated ones via Discord. ProtoDrake (talk) 11:40, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

If there's a way I can help, let me know. I've had my eye on it but it's admittedly overwhelming, given how much this game is talked about in sources. Shooterwalker (talk) 20:18, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
@Shooterwalker: Yes! Thank you, if and/or when you can. --ProtoDrake (talk) 23:27, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

This article appears to be in excellent form. I don't anticipate this review being very long. ♦ JAGUAR  13:25, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

Lead
"The game was built using the Unreal Engine, which led to issues with coding and NPC behavior" - link non-player character
" but many praised its translation of the game's mechanics to console" - is translation the right term here? Also, link game mechanics
I recall specifically the game's voice acting received the most criticism - would replacing 'audio' for 'voice acting' be more accurate?
Body
"A port of the game for PlayStation 2, titled Deus Ex:" - as 'PS2' is abbreviated later on, I would include it in brackets here
"Matthew Kato praised the adaptation of the PC original's controls to the PS2's DualShock" - link DualShock for readers unfamiliar with the controller
"...impressed by how well the PC original's mechanics and depth had been translated into a console game experience" - again, I'm not quite sure, but I'll leave it to you
I believe this article is at an FA-standard already; it meets every aspect of the GA criteria including comprehensiveness, excellent prose, and high quality sources. Other than those minor nitpicks, reading the article was a smooth experience. Glad to bestow this an outright pass. Well done.  Jaguar (talk) 10:35, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
