I don't recommend Deus Ex like I did for Thief. Thief is the best series in my opinion, so I couldn't argue how it is better. Plus, I never really played Deus Ex and am going off a demo I played for 2 or 3 days. I was just saying how since I played both SS2 and Deus Ex for a similar span, I could compare and saw how Deus Ex destroyed System Shock 2. That isn't much of an impressive feat as many FPS beat that game (Even Doom or Dark Forces is more tolerable to the newer game, proving an exception to my theroy). Don't misunderstand what I say or think I am trying to recommend other games (especially since you haven't touched the best, Thief 2).

You have noticed how I am close to fail with almost every level, then I replay and get all nine lives in the end? That shows definately that they get easier on replays.

By the way, started (but didn't finish as I had to quit earlier than expected) level 11. I think I made it to the vault, it was some door puzzle in a circular area. I was amazed by how easy the beginning area was. Then a Dark Trooper Phase 1 showed up and I tried gunning it down, only to learn that it takes a large portion of your ammo and it is wiser just to use thermal detonators. The Phase 2 Dark Troopers (found 2 so far) actually were rather easy in comparison to those turrets (as in, I didn't lose any lives to a Dark Trooper while losing 5 to those 4 turrets in the throne room). I also learned that thermal detonators either don't have much splash damage or you have to make a direct hit with a turret which means it is almost safer to use a gun.
