Fun:
Ok to start with I have played every Deus Ex game that has ever been released, and I quite enjoyed this game the first time I played it.
I found this game was an improvement over the previous Deus Ex games, controls were much easier and graphics were a great improvement, some nice story line and cut sequences.
My main gripe with this game is that it requires Steam to run it, I have issues with having to login into Steam with my fibre optic 50mb cable connection sitting 100m from the exchange and getting lag because of Steam or suffering a disconnection which throws me out of the game.
There is simply no reason that is has to be hosted or requires Steam to dump all sorts of spyware on your computer.
I didn't like the linear scripting which limited the areas that could be explored without clashing with the plot.
Also didn't like the limitations on powers, abilities that could be found to upgrade (basically you find or buy canisters that allow you to unlock different abilities) If I have earned the money in game I would expect to be able still buy upgrades, it seems stupid that the upgrades are then limited to a specific number in each part of the game, what point is there then in having all this money?

Fun:
Delivery was good. This game is a really good RPG, I have played it twice already and I could play it again. You can choose to go lethal or unlethal, you can knock out enemies, go stealthy, or just blow everything up, whatever suits your playing style really. Definitely recommend it. Simple to use. You need a steam account to play it, which is fine. Steam has quite a lot of achievements for the game too. Simply put, you need to play this game.

Fun:
Deus Ex: Human Revolution (Deus Ex 3) returns with all the brilliance that embodied the original 2 games in the early noughties. But, it is in fact a prequel to those games, set some 25 years before the first Deus Ex, when development of bio-mechanical augmentation by a few elite and powerful companies threatens to destabilize society. The main story follows Adam Jensen, a private security officer for one of these companies, as he attempts to figure out who is behind recent terrorist attacks on his company.
In terms of gameplay, this is where Deus Ex: HR excels. There are multiple methods of completing objectives, and this can include a complete stealth approach (there is an achievement for completing the game without killing a single enemy), traditional FPS (shoot anything that moves), or a mixture of both. And this works for the majority of the game, but the only let down are the boss battles - in these you are forced to confront a specific character and take him/her down (don't worry, this won't harm that achievement I mentioned), but these are the only occasions that the game forces you to take a specific approach, and thankfully they are few in number.
There are RPG elements, and as you progress through the game, you're able to upgrade your abilities to focus on specific traits. For example, you can prioritize augmentations that either improve your combat ability or your hacking abilities while neglecting others, and how you choose these augmentations will largely depend on your style of play.
So impressed was I with the game that I decided to play through it twice, once as a traditional FPS, and the second as a stealthy pacifist - both times the game felt different due to my differing approach. Total play time came to 36 hours for both playthroughs.
