Shadowrun Returns

Mit ca 25h Spielzeit ein recht kurzes RPG aber dafür auch kurzweilig. Hat mir gut gefallen

옛날 게임이지만 지금 해도 촌스럽지 않고 괜찮은 게임이며 플레이 타임이 짧아서 부담 없이 맛보기 좋음 세계관에 사이버 펑크가 잘 녹아있고(마법이 있긴 한데...) 필력이 좋아서 쉽게 몰입할 수 있었음 8시간 정도 걸려서 게임 엔딩까지 다 클리어할 정도로 짧기는 하지만 적절한 정도로 느껴졌음 오히려 플탐이 길어졌으면 지루하게 느꼈을지도? 사실 마지막 스테이지에서는 약간 지루했었음. 마지막 스테이지는 시간을 끌기 위한 레벨 디자인으로 느껴졌음 필수 무기의 낮은 명중률, 사살에 필요한 발사 횟수,적의 개체 수 등... 클리어한 감상으로는 쉬움으로 하는 걸 추천함 필자는 보통 난이도로 깼는데, 전투가 딱히 깊히 팔만한 재미는 없고 굳이 난이도를 높일만한 이유가 없다고 생각이 됨 후반으로 갈수록 나타나는 시간 끄는 구간들을 빨리 넘기기 위해 쉬움 난이도로 쭉쭉 넘기면서 스토리를 감상하는 걸 추천함

6,5/10

Sehr, sehr kurz - aber fängt die Atmosphäre gut ein. Einer der Titel, die bei einem guten Rabatt im Sale definitiv gekauft werden sollten. Aber keine tiefen, komplexen Kämpfe erwarten.

The Shadowrun Trilogy sat in my library for years. As a cRPG fan, I always knew I had to play it, but with real-life responsibilities and so many great games out there, time is always limited. I am incredibly glad I finally gave it a shot. I knew going in that this first game is widely considered the weakest of the trilogy, though still a solid experience if you like the genre. To set expectations: do not expect any voice acting. You will need to do a lot of reading, though it is still much less text-heavy than other traditional cRPGs. If you want to follow the narrative, expect to spend time reading through what I found to be genuinely good dialogue. Character creation and progression are straightforward and not overly complicated. Don't expect the depth of a Pathfinder or Pillars of Eternity game. The combat reminded me a lot of XCOM or Wasteland. It feels quite simple, but it remains highly enjoyable throughout. From a technical standpoint, I ran into no major issues. The game even plays nicely with super-ultrawide aspect ratios, which is a rare treat for an older title (and sadly, even some newer ones!). I really liked the story, the characters, the background music, and the beautiful cyberpunk, neo-noir isometric landscapes. While the plot might not be top-tier, it is told well and easily kept me engaged until the credits rolled. Overall, I highly recommend this game if you love cRPGs or are a fan of the cyberpunk setting. Just don't go in expecting high production values or overly complex mechanics. It's a tight, atmospheric ride.

This was pretty good overall. I played through the main campaign as a dwarf mage split focus in shotguns. The setting is pretty cool, maybe a bit too reference heavy, which is a bit odd if like me, you're not the most accustomed to Shadowrun lore. At the same time, it's not too subtle, a lot of the writing around said characters not very subtle in a way that makes it pretty obvious they are pre established in the setting. Beyond that small complaint, everything else about the setting and premise is pretty fun. The plot jumps around in focus in some odd ways, but it's enjoyable...but the latter stages do have a larger number of grammatical issues and typos, as if the dev team just stopped carrying about proof reading as much near the end of development. The gameplay is ok enough, if a bit simple. I just played on the default normal difficulty for a first run through and found the game pretty easy. If the game was any longer I could actually see the game getting pretty boring due to the simplicity of the combat mechanics, so take that as you will. Thankfully it did not overstay it's welcome.

SR is a very high quality wrpg with an X-Com style battle system. Its a little on the short side which I wouldn't normally object to except that there are entire skill trees dedicated to charisma and decking that have very minimal impact due to the limited opportunities a short duration present; there are a handful of times where multiple solutions to a challenge are presented given your stat distribution, attention and creativity, but again, few and far between. There is an incredibly high attention to detail in this game and some truly excellent character writing. Its world-building is crazy and disparate. The story goes from gritty and hard-boiled street crime to saving the world from trans-dimensional alien bugs that tether themselves via magic. And it just works. And that's why you should play SR; its an experience that will stick with you.
