“The best story and writing for sure, even despite my only paying half attention to the story. Also, the best abilities. This was a massive upgrade, game-wise, from both earlier games in the series. The biggest drawback,…”
“Well this is my first run on Shadowrun Hong Kong and I must say I like it. I don't know what the order of the Shadowrun Trilogy was, but I thought this was the second one. Anyway it's getting interesting. Shadowrun Hong…”

“I've never played a Shadowrun game before, but as a fan of other turn-based games and DnD, I figured I'd give it a go. I've really enjoyed it so far: the writing is excellent, the world feels grimy and alive, and…”

“A little nostalgia and a very fun turn based game. Lots of content and story progression without being overwhelming. This game will have some replayability with all the different character choices. A great ecosystem in…”

“The "Matrix/Decking" content in this is utter garbage. I really CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH; trying to use the kludgy controls to "sneak through" is BEYOND frustrating. For this ALONE I'd say stay far, FAR away from the…”
“I have had to give up on this game as well, similar to dragonfall, because it is still far too easy to lose fights due to things completely outside of your control. as it turns out I really only liked returns because…”
“Aside from the original game back in the day, I have only played Shadowrun Returns. I know a lot of people did not like the hacking/cyberspace part of that game, but I didn't mind it. I had little else to compare it to,…”

“I play on a high res monitor and the ui is so small even with the scaled hud and zoomed in to the max i have hard time seeing; tiles for aoe attacks, health of the enemies, enemy chat bubbles. You can't rotate the angle…”

“Was probably the game that was in my backlog for the longuest time. Tested it once a few years ago and found the first hour rough on the edge, especially on the QoL part. But I'm very happy that I gave him a second…”

“I liked this one, but I think it ranks lowest out of the trilogy. The main story is pretty interesting but it is the least well developed out of the three. Most of the game is reserved for runs that have nothing to do…”

“8/10 I think it's better than Dragonfall in most aspects since the story is not that much "worse" than in Dragonfall, I did skip the most dialogue and concentratetd on finishing the game, next time I play it I will read…”

“A damn fine game that continues the legacy of Returns and Dragonfall. For the love of god though, DO NOT PLAY THE EXTENDED ENDING DLC. The epilogue plot is hilariously binary in its final ending options for no real reason and spits upon basically everything you and a certain…”
— a player, Steam review · 253 hrs played“One of my favourite games of all time. Having played the previous two I can say this one spoke to me the most. It streamlines and optimizes a lot of the jank from Returns and Dragonfall, and the art has improved a lot too, especially if you compare it to Returns. The music is…”
