“The writing and atmosphere makes me want to keep playing. The janky UI, battle system with essential random outcomes, and save breaking bugs make me want to jump out a window. The story and world building have something…”

“A game that seriously trusts in the intelligence of its players. The number of creative, novel ways you can tackle just about any problem if you're willing to put the time and thought into pulling together scattered…”

“Very early in this long, long game, but I can confidently say that if the first 11 hours are indicative of the general quality of writing in this game, it's well worth the low price. The UI is a little rough around the…”

“A major upgrade over Shadowrun Returns, in both length and story. One thing I was missing in SR were runs you can do on the side, which were added to this game. They aren't generic and repeatable, like in Shadowrun on…”
“Great storyline, better team management than the original game, a bit more mission diversity, and a set team you don't have to recruit or pay for every time make this a standout game to anyone that enjoys Shadowrun!”

“Really enjoyed this game, it was a slow burner, but very satisfying, there's nothing else that can scratch that Shadowrun itch. I most enjoyed playing as a Rigger/Decker, bringing Glory for her melee cover breaking…”

“alright so I've had some extra time since I wrote this review and despite enjoying much more of my time with it than before I still can't really recommend it, but now I have a much more nuanced take as to why. first…”

“On the shorter side, a tad dated/clunky, somewhat linear; I found the combat fun enough, but I won't pretend I didn't have to fight the interface from time to time--far from perfect. Setting, story, characters though…”

“What an all-rounder - this one covered all the big topics: * Politics * Religious Fanatics * Dragons * Science * Magic Plenty of campaign choices to support doing at least 2 or 3 different playthroughs - a very well written storyline either way, giving very in depth immersion…”
— a player, Steam review · 49 hrs played“Combat can be a bit tedious. The game shines in story, characters, choices, and dialogue.”
— a player, Steam review · 66 hrs played“The writing and world-building in this game are pretty good, and the Berlin F-State is an interesting change of pace from the regular Seattle-based Shadowrun setting. The game's systems have definitely been tightened up since Shadowrun Returns, but they still aren't great.…”
