That was in the first act! ::: spoiler the game OP is referencing Deus Ex 1 ::: Also: โ€œa bomb!โ€

Technically, all of OP's criteria match my answer!

Also: "My vision is augmented."

And: "A bomb's a bad choice for close range combat."

Finally: "And J.C.? Stay out of the women's bathroom..."

Time, Doctor Freeman I briefly played in a brainrot grind core band and we had that sample in our concert intro it was the bomb

Every line of dialogue from the g-man goes hard as hell. The VA did incredible work making it sound so eerie and not of this world

There you will find a man named Rufio.

He also speaks entirely in iambic heptameter, which makes every line sound extra poetic.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Can't recommend it enough, such an amazing game.

I really wish I could forget everything about this game so I could experience it again for the first time.

You will know "The cake is a lie" like halfway into the game, when you first find the open wall panels and look in the little hidey-hole. You don't even have to come close to beating it.

Don't have to finish the game. Don't even have to start playing the game. This is said at the beginning of the intro, it might be the very first thing spoken in the entire game.
