      Really gotta wonder about anyone who had that reaction to Liberty Island.
      
      I guess my major concern re: the demo is that in the original Deus Ex, the levels were massive. You could play through some of them 2 or 3 times, and still find new things if you hadn't searched with an eye for completeness. To a certain extent, I agree with the Reddit poster who said that the level design of the demo appears to be very contrived. That's ... worrisome. I want to search for an hour, not 5 minutes (or 30 seconds). Of course, as someone else said, they are trying to get things across in an 8 minute video clip.
      
      Still, I'm curious about later levels ... hopefully this was just a teaser, and not representative of the rest of the level design in the game.
