In Minecraft it means something because of the cause&effect relevance that directly emerges from the world blocks (lava kills, water drowns or drags etc., a cave can be searched and it can imprison you a bit, etc.), in Deus Ex the environment means something because it tells a story. Yes, Deus Ex is story-driven, and you can’t just do whatever you please, but you’re often in an environment in which you can look around for goodies, interact with people just for a bit more depth, play mini-missions, play real missions, decide to progress the story, and you can even choose how the story continues next, though that part is extremely under-developed.Ī second common element is: The environment means something to the player.

It’s a most that shuffles everything around, and can even add some weird and wonderful effects to the game. That’s exactly what you’ll find in the Deus Ex Randomiser.
