Pros
Pro Varied, beautiful world
A variety in locations visited and enemies met, that all are beautifully designed, gives the game a world that feels alive.
Pro Great combat system
Choose between solo and paired combat, where damage dealt is increased and damage taken in shared. Add to that a 'rock, paper, scissors'-type elements system mixed with a great selection of magic abilities, choice passive traits and charge bars that unlock special abilities and you get a deep combat system.
Pro Intuitive battle system
With a set amount of moves and action points it is fairly easy to understand how the battle system works. Everything is tun based and tactics are the main component to gameplay. Users must judge where they want to move, what attacks they want to use while taking into account the environment, if anything in it could shield them and then base all of these decisions off of their allotted action points.
Pro Fleshed out interesting world
There has obviously been painstaking care taken in crafting the world and story of Shadowrun Returns. A noir cyberpunk story that sees the main character trying to solve a murder-mystery intertwined with a conspiracy. Throughout the game are characters who the main protagonist crosses paths with that have a tin of great dialogue written for them that is entertaining to read and also flesh out his cyberpunk world.
Cons
Con Dull story
The story feels as though it falls flat during most of the game.
Con Limited RPG paths
The story gets played out basically the same way on every play-through. Player choice only has moderate impact on the flow of the game.
Con Grammar errors
Needed a proofreader as their is tons of grammar errors which gives a rushed unfinished feeling.
