1st of a fun Cyberpunk RPG trilogy
Shadowrun is an interesting but very silly setting. It's crumbling technological dolor in a corporatized world that could just be not too unlike what awaits us in our own future, but it also has elves and trolls and stuff and wizards that cast Magic Missile into the darkness. These elements are constantly at odds with each other tonally, but it's always done with a wink and a nod in a deliberate manner. There has been many Shadowrun books and video games over the years, some better than others. Shadowrun Returns was a Kickstarter attempt to bring back specifically the feelings of the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis games, each being their own distinct entity with their own strengths and weaknesses. I feel it succeeded. They never set out to make high art, and they kept their goals and scope reasonable throughout. Here they made a PC Strategy RPG in the most traditional sense. It has a variety of good, flexible character customization options that didn't require me to make much research to understand. The portraits are largely fantastic, so you can really make your main character your own. The plot moves at a brisk pace and is a pretty OK story for a video game, but provides little replay value. It held my attention completely all the way to the end, but I encountered several awful bugs that will never be fixed by the developers, so be prepared to have a search engine handy if/when you get stuck. I didn't feel this really took away from my overall experience. Also, it was also cool seeing Jake Armitage again! He was the protagonist of the SNES game. On sale, it seems to go for around $4 USD, which I think is a superb price for the ride you're getting. I agree with others when they say this is the weakest of the three games, and that it's the best one to start with. Overall, I'd give it a 3.5/5 (rounded up, for the sale price) because of bugs and a story without much choices, but it's pretty respectable in its own right and laid the foundations for two better games.
