Deus ex: Human Revolution is an amazing dark and gritty FPS set in the dystopian future of 2022 where humans are divided on how they feel about the new augmentation technology. Augmentations allow humans to rise above their limitations by being able to do things such as react quicker, run faster, or jump higher among many other things. The story focuses on an ex-swat turned private security director, Adam Jensen, for Sarif Industries, a major biotech corporation. Because of a discovery that was made at Sarif Industries a team of highly augmented mercenaries attacked their headquarters and killed the team responsible for the discovery making sure that it would never reach the light of day severely injuring Adam. As a result of his injuries Adam had to be heavily augmented against his will to keep him alive. With his new found abilities it is up to Adam to track down those responsible for the deaths of the scientists and to find out the truth about what really happened that day. The player has the ability to choose how Adam goes about a situation being able to choose between dealing with enemies passively or lethally which changes the way characters address him. With multiple endings the game offers many choices for the player to make that affects the story. Overall, the game poses a question that can be applied to science even today a decade before the game takes place which is should humans play god and it is up to the play to choose where they stand for themselves based on what they see throughout the game.
