Are Deus Ex games worth playing?

I first played Deus Ex around the time it came out and loved it. I tried replaying it a few years ago and couldn't get through it. The gameplay was too simplistic and too many games have built beyond it.

Human Revolution was fun, but didn't have as much weight as the original.

I'd probably play a full remake of the original game with modern gameplay.

Same issue with Gothic 1 remake being released as a 1:1 with barely any changes two decades later.

Older games need to be remakes with a refresh, even if you were a fan of and played the original. Resident Evil had the right idea for the most part.
