    Shadowrun Returns is a pleasantly short cyberpunk RPG, its great for beginners due to its extreme linearity and little to no challenge.

    I never died once on Normal mode and genuinely enjoyed the story.

    Its just the goofy little bugs that littered the game which held it back, as well ideas and mechanics that hail back to when the game was originally released.

    The price-point is quite an issue, especially since there is zero support from the devs who ported it and a lot of the annoying issues could have been fixed with a small patch.

    Overall I enjoyed it, I wouldn't play it again, but it has successfully set up a world I would like to return to and I'm looking forward to both sequels.
