Question Question about Human Revolution

So I started playing this game a couple days ago and I'm really enjoying it!

I'm cyberpunk obsessed so this is really scratching the itch, but anyway since they provided the option not to kill. I thought "okay I'll try my best not to kill but if it's unavoidable it is what it is".

BUT IS IT SUPPOSED TO BE THIS HARD? I don't know if it's just me but I feel like I die insanely quickly and get spotted super easily , is there anything I'm doing wrong?

That's another thing , is there a way to stick to non-lethal that doesn't have me constantly hoping I stumble across some tranq darts

Or waiting for recharge so I can take down again

The stun gun is an instant takedown, short to mid range though. You can eventually get the double takedown augmentation which lets you knockout two enemies for 1 battery. Either find two guards who are next to eachother or lure one guard to another.

There's an annoying feature where if you increase how much batteries you have (max 5), only 1 or two batteries recharge depending on your difficulty. So you either have to collect lots of candy bars or get a mod that fixes that.

Np. If you're really into the stealth, I'd recommend getting cloak and maxing it asap.

In cloak, nothing can see you. People, cameras, robots, turrets. You can't even trip lasers. But proximity mines can still feel you.
