Good, pure TBRPG
The first in a trilogy and one of the crowd-funded games that helped bring cRPGs back to prominence, Hairbrained's Shadowrun Returns is a fantastic little turn-based RPG taking place in the Shadowrun universe. It's a small game in its scope; the story towards the end goes into a silly save-the-world direction, but it doesn't start like this. At first it's personal, it spends time world-building and introducing likable characters that set the stage. Mechanically, it's simple but not without depth; plenty of build options, turn-based combat that requires a healthy amount of strategy and engagement and, like all proper RPGs, a good amount of different routes that compliment the various character builds. There are only a handful side-quests, so for the most part, you're engaged in the main story and that works in the game's favor. We're used to different choices meaning different outcomes, but you won't find this here; the different choices exist specifically for roleplaying flavor and that's ultimately a good thing. It has been a long while since a RPG had replay value just so you can approach the same scenario in different ways without the carrot of different dialogue and cutscenes at the end of the stick. I haven't played the sequels at the time of writing this, but I enjoyed this one quite a lot and I wholeheartedly recommend it.
