Deus Ex did have a direct sequel, made by the same studio, came out a couple of years after the original Deus Ex.
Problem was, it was basically designed for the Xbox, so, levels had to get broken into smaller chunks with lots of load screens, a good deal of gameplay mechanics got simplified / dumbed down.
But… the overall storyline, from a world building perspective at least, was fairly interesting.
The game is very much the red headed step child of the Deus Ex franchise, as the overall impression (which is correct imo) is that it was basically a dumbed down console version of a DX sequel, a significant disappointment.
