Thanks for the heads up, I was wondering which version to play as I never played it the first time around. The GOTY was £0.83 on Steam and I've installed the revision Mod which the comments say is the one you _should_ play as it's better than the "remaster".

Revision deviates too much from the original, often not in a good way. I would suggest you to start with GMDX as a mode that strives to very carefully fix and improve the game without introducing random changes for no good reason.

  Thanks for the tip. I'll look into it. Revision was a one click install on my handheld from the Steam store, but it looks like I'll have to figure out how to install GMDX by hand into the Proton directory for the game. Worth it though I think, I prefer to play as true to original as possible with only QoL changes.

    Get Lutris, it supports the GMDX mod.

      I have lutris, but i just installed GMDX by downloading the binary and running it from CLI with WINE and pointing it at the Steam game directory, it was actually really straight forward. My past experience with trying to get mods on Proton games was much more complicated, but this seems to work fine; a little buggy, but once in gameplay it plays nicely, tested a few minutes of the tutorial on my lunch break and no issues.

        If you have the game on GOG, you can get GMDX as a separate free download: * https://www.gog.com/en/game/gmdx https://www.gog.com/en/game/gmdx * https://www.gogdb.org/product/1553376539#builds https://www.gogdb.org/product/1553376539#builds

  As someone who played vanilla Deus Ex several times, I disagree. GMDX introduces a _lot_ of changes, and will not give you the same experience on a first playthrough. It's pretty good, though.

Big bonus of the Revision - it is available directly on Steam - just install original & Revision, play. Everything else needs manual intervention

  GOG has GMDX as a standalone install I think.

For a first run-through, I'd recommend the "Zero Rando" edition of the [Deus Ex Randomizer](https://github.com/Die4Ever/deus-ex-randomizer/ https://github.com/Die4Ever/deus-ex-randomizer/) mod, since that's strictly limited to quality-of-life and bug fixes. If you're playing on a Steam Deck or with a controller, it integrates a radial menu for augmentations, which will help a ton when mapping the mouse-and-keyboard controls onto a gamepad.

  It also has an option to enable Autofill Passwords, which also helps a lot for controller players If you don't like Github, the main website is simpler to navigate https://mods4ever.com/project/DXRZeroRando https://mods4ever.com/project/DXRZeroRando
