As you play, you'll earn Praxis points, which allow you to unlock and upgrade new abilities. The most obvious choices you'll make involve your augmentations. This creates a well-realized sense of choice and consequence throughout Human Revolution. Each mission has several layers to it, several angles to be explored or not, several perspectives to consider, and several possible outcomes that often tie into the greater mission at hand in unexpected ways. These aren't the maligned fetch-quests of other RPGs. While each hub has a central plot thread carrying through Jensen's investigation, side missions populate each locale. The majority of Human Revolution involves Jensen's quest to unravel that conspiracy through missions spinning off of main city hubs all over the world. But before you can say 'Alex Murphy,' Reed is dead, and Jensen lays mortally wounded on an operating table, receiving an involuntarily hands - and legs, and lungs, and eyes - on crash course in humanity's future in the post-human era. Adam's employers sit on the cusp of a breakthrough that might fully 'unlock' human potential, courtesy of a love interest from his past, Megan Reed.

Protagonist Adam Jensen becomes swept up in a globe-spanning conspiracy hinging on powerful - and dangerous - augmentation technology. The world of Human Revolution meets somewhere between Blade Runner and Robocop - caught between the utopia of revolutionary scientific discovery and the dystopia of the people inevitably left behind. Deus Ex: Human Revolution takes place in a future you can see from here through half-lidded eyes.
