This is my first Shadowrun game, so I can't compare it to the others (yet... going to play Dragonfall next). I saw this was set in Hong Kong, and thought it might be fun to play a game set in Asia.
The game starts off really strong. The story is intriguing, the characters are wonderful, and the music is solid. I had a lot of fun doing the missions and then talking to everyone in Heoi after each run. The combat is nothing crazy, but it's satisfying enough.
Unfortunately, several missions in, the dialogue runs dry. Some NPCs in Heoi quickly have nothing to say, while others take a bit longer to run out of lines. But they all do eventually, and it really makes the game feel dead when previously there was so much content. It truly made the world suddenly feel empty.
Even worse is Shadows of Hong Kong, the DLC. I tried my best to force myself to play it. There are spelling errors and many bugs, making it feel very low quality compared to the main game. I had to drop it at this point.
Overall, I think Shadowrun: Hong Kong is worth playing for its good points. It's an interesting, story-intensive game. The characters are probably its strongest point. I don't think the DLC is worth bothering with, though.

Pistol Whip is another great VR fitness game. The first time I played, I could barely walk for a day or two! They've been slowly releasing new maps, and most of those are pretty amazing.
Once you've gotten used to the game, make sure you check out the modifiers. A lot of the settings are great for raising difficulty and making for a good workout. I like to use a combination of dual revolvers (to make you reload more), heavy armor (for enemies), high velocity, and revenge (your shots come back at you).
I'm not good enough at aiming to play with Deadeye on, but that's an eventual goal!
