3.5/5 ★ – El_Cronofiro's review of Shadowrun Returns.
A good game, with an intriguing story and a character customization system that captivated me. I found it too rushed, with things in the story just happening one after the other, but that's a minor issue as the game kept me entertained the entire time.
However, it has some problems such as the lack of development of secondary characters, there is an exception, but otherwise I felt that everyone had wasted or unexplored potential. Another problem is in the customization that I praised, despite allowing the creation of very different characters, the game does not use some skills and uses others too much, an example is the charisma tree tags, which are used a few times or even only once .
Quickly talking about the story, I thought it was cool, at first it seemed like it was just going to be a cyberpunk story only in shadowrun (the investigation is cool but I wanted to see all the magical part of the scenario idea), but after a while the game brings a creative problem that involves a lot of the idea of “technology + magic” and then comes up with a solution that involves the same idea.
Overall, a good game to play on a weekend, when you feel like playing an rpg but don't feel like spending many hours playing.
