Excellent game! Very enjoyable.

While it's true that the game is fairly linear, you can develop your character as you wish - this is very much a game for a role-player. Your decisions do not have long-term ramifications, but they are plentiful and often remembered by NPCs. This isn't a game with masterful graphics, but the atmosphere is nonetheless pleasant and interesting. The story is excellent and has incredible depth in pre-existing literature for those who'd like to learn more about the game world. I look forward to the next instalment!

Too Linear, and the game holds your hand through the RPG sections. Basically just run and gun game

Great cyberpunk experience!

Yes, it is pretty linear but I'm hooked. Great story and characters. The spanish translation looks like machine-translated text though hahaha the camera option says "Gratis" instead of "Libre" (Libre == Free). But aside from that, I'm enjoying it very much

Solid debut isometric game for Shadowrun

This is a great isometric CRPG set in the dystopian cyberpunk future world setting of Shadowrun, which is one of my favorite tabletop RPG systems. They especially did a great job balancing out turns between those in combat and your decker(s) in the Matrix, which was always a hard balancing act when playing the TTRPG. I'm also a big fan of the Shadowrun setting and lore, and there were definitely many nods in the game to lore that was established in the novels, even including a few characters like Harlequin and James Telestrian III. (Which, as a side note, the novels are all available in ebook format again now that the long-standing rights issues were cleared up.) Add on to that the fact that you can also create user generated content (from things like avatars to a full fledged story campaign), and you're looking at basically the Shadowrun equivalent of D&D 3E's Neverwinter Nights. I fully enjoyed the campaign (although I loathe bug shaman *shudder*), and I'm looking forward to sinking my teeth into Dragonfall next. I originally backed this on Kickstarter (and then the same with Dragonfall and Hong Kong), and I don't know why I hadn't finished this before now. Originally, I spent some time playing Dead Man's Switch on my Android tablet, but unfortunately HBS recently removed it (along with Dragonfall; as far as I know, Hong Kong was never ported to Android) from the Google Play Store to avoid having to make changes to comply with GDPR. (Which doesn't make sense to me, but that's what their support folks told me.) So PC is pretty much the only option to play it at this point. I'll also note that it does work with Macs running an OS version predating OSX Catalina (I played this primarily on a Macbook using OSX Mojave); Apple dropped support for 32-bit apps in Catalina, and all three games in this trilogy are. Given what occurred with GDPR, I would very much not expect them to be updated to 64-bit apps to work under Catalina and future OSX releases.

Great atmosphere, immersive storytelling

Thank you, GOG, for the giveaway because I only had the game on Steam before. Now, I actually OWN the game! Shadowrun Returns is a rather linear experience for an RPG, to be honest. However, "linear" isn't always a bad thing. In the case of Shadowrun Returns, it's not. This game has some of the most compelling cyberpunk atmosphere out there and its story, while not particularly outstanding, is told in such an immersive way. Whether you're running down the streets of Seattle to get to an objective or you're taking your time exploring the mission area, you always feel like you're part of the unique, magic-infused cyberpunk world of Shadowrun. The graphics, while not incredible, absolutely get the job done and make you feel like you're in a believable world. The game has turn-based combat that feels quite similar to old school Fallout. I'm not usually a fan of turn-based combat but this game does it well. Not Divinity: Original Sin well, but it's still rather good. It never feels frustratingly long or cheap due to absurdly high dice rolls from enemies. It does, however, encourage you to use a bit of strategy when you fight and that's always a good thing when it comes to turn-based combat. I mentioned that the story of this game is told in a very immersive way and what I mean by that is that it feels personal. Maybe it's because the character's best friend's name is Sam (I have a good friend with that same name) but I always felt like the story I was playing through was truly MY story. Adding the impeccable cyberpunk atmosphere and the cool twist on the genre with the return of magic and fantasy creatures and it just creates this story that somehow captures both the adventure of fantasy and the deep, morally ambiguous storytelling present in the cyberpunk genre. If you go into this with the knowledge that it's not open world or sandbox in any way, you may just come out of it with a great sense of satisfaction because Shadowrun Returns is an absolute blast!
