So Shadowrun Returns feels like a game made by devs who are making a video game for the first time in their life. The budget is quite clearly not that much and the balancing is just off. Most of the fights are either steamrolling or getting steamrolled. The final fight is one of the few that I think has something going for it.

Despite those issues I think its a good game. The atmosphere is very well done. The music fits the tone. The story was also good tho I wish we had some actual freedom. Its a very linear game due to the low budget.

The setting is def my favorite part of the game. Urban Fantasy and Cyberpunk is an interesting mix.

I like the leveling up system. I made a blaster mage with some investment in rifles and some extra points in charisma. spells are fun to use.
