Game is played in first person view. Interface is simple to use. I Didn't have any problems setting up, or playing the game. Map is very easy to read. Save game system is automatic, but you can also save games manually, I think limit for manually saves on PC is 99. Oh and there is also steam cloud system. So, your game progress won't be lost There are additional optional features. One from many is meter, which points you at direction you are suppose to reach. You can choose not to use it. There is only one place where you might get lost, Shanghai. In case that happens, you will most likely find extra e-book, or find a new path to certain place.

Artifical Intelligence (AI) in this game felt good. The enemy AI wasn't dumm, which might be often case in games. The game brings you a good challenge on difficulty "Give me Deus Ex", AI uses cover and doesn't get stuck at certain position not shooting at you.

Along the adventure it is possible to find different kinds of weapons, ammunition, weapon modifications, Nuke Virus Software, Stop! Worm Software and there a lot of Quest items too. At times it is not easy to find ammunition, so it is good if you save some sometimes, but that depends on what difficult you play. At hardest difficult, I was saving all ammunition for boss fights.

Boss fights were interesting, first two I found more difficult than last two. All of them needed some brainstorming. There might be some frustrating points, but in overall they were fun to play. I had a good laugh killing 3rd boss, Jaron Namir. Boss fights had variety, for each boss there was needed different approach, or each boss had different skill which they used versus Adam Jensen.

I must not forget to mention 7 different types of augmentations, you can unlock them once you gain enough of Experience Points (XP). There is plenty of options, I couldn't try all in one play-through. There is possible to try all in second play-through or in Missing Link.

Story is full of surprises with interesting tasks, it makes you wonder what will happen. It has lots of variety and it will follow differently, depending on your decisions/choices you make.
In-game graphics are real candy, while on the other hand cinematic movies weren't that much of a candy, at least not on 1920x1080 resolution. The signature color of Deus Ex:Human Revolution is definitely orange yellowish, color which predominates in-game interface and game in general.

Music composed by Michael McCann perfectly fits into the game, my favorite track is main theme - Icarus!!! Not only soundtrack being perfect but also sound effects, very realistic and convincing. Next to all that they implement music in-game very thoughtful, if you pass some area of map and then pass it again, you will not be confronted with same background music! They also used few well known actors, for voice acting. Elias Toufexis who voiced up Adam Jensen, Stephen Shellen - David Sarif, Andreas Apergis - Francis Pritchard, Paula Jean Hixson as Faridah Malik and others,...

If I sum up, Dues Ex: Human Revolution is a game you shouldn't miss, especially if you like to play role playing games, or first person shooters. You'll have dozens of hours of fun, lots of variety in game-play and in story itself. The game is far from repetitive!
