Shadowrun Returns
Game Shadowrun Returns
Released 2013
Developer Harebrained Schemes
Available GOG Steam

Shadowrun Returns is a traditional turn-based isometric 3rd person RPG game. The game is not as glossy as some other RPGs, the graphics have a well tried look, but it's very playable and fun.

The setting for the game is interesting, blending both magic and science. I played as a mage, but there's other options like deckers who can enter a cyber world. The story is definitely noir, involving people being killed for body parts and corporate corruption and crime bosses.

The storyline is very linear, but acceptable. There's lots of character interaction and dialogue. I got quite into it, there's a lot of options in how you can evolve your character yet I managed to complete the game.

People say the Dragonfall expansion is even better (this is a full blown game more than an expansion) so I'll definitely try that!
