Honestly, I feel like the original Deus Ex sorta ruined gaming for me. Nothing comes close to the experience this game provides. It offers thrilling, open-ended gameplay, brainy, but not too brainy to distract from the action, the plot is engaging, the atmosphere and the soundtrack are spot-on, and there's a hefty dose of important philosophical and sociopolitical ponderings to boot, which don't feel tacked-on at all. Does anything come close to it? The first two Fallout games are the only things that came close to this experience.
Are there any games so shattering in the way they affect one's psyche? The only thing that comes to mind outside of the two Fallouts are Ico and Shadow of the Colossus.
