In this 2017 GDC talk, Eidos-Montreal's Clemence Maurer explains how the city of Prague was recreated in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided to reward players for exploring its furtherst nooks and crannies.

Nothing groundbreaking as far as her explanations are concerned, but Mankind Divided does have very good exploration. I thought it was a significant improvement over Human Revolution in that aspect.

Everytime I think about starting Mankind Divided, I'm discouraged by the fact that I hear there will likely never be the last part in the trilogy. Fucking Square Enix. Another series they fucked up.

EDIT: @JDR13: I just read your input on finishing Mankind Divided. Hum. I'm intrigued.

You definitely don't want to miss out on MD if you enjoy DE.

I'm not quite as big a fan of it as JDR - but it's a very, very good game overall.

Remember playing it just about after finishing Fallout IV…the difference in intelligence of design is staggering.
Everything has meaning, purpose and some ( logical) ties to world around it ( compared to Bethesda's Tour de Morons amusement ride).
The game has issues with storytelling/gameplay, but world/level design/exploration is some of best in genre.

I wish there was a thread where we'd list games in that genre. Yes, IMO a genre it is.
