"Though the Shadowrun name has been around in pen-and-paper form since 1989, the video game sector of the franchise has been dormant for over half a decade. It could be argued by some that the 2007 shooter wasn’t even worthy to carry the name. Designer Jordan Weisman fired up a Kickstarter in March 2012 and reached his goal of $400,000 within only 28 hours. It was clear that fans wanted another Shadowrun title.
Fast forward to late July 2013. Weisman and his new studio, Harebrained Schemes, have been hard at work and their cyberpunk-meets-magic game and it’s finally available to the masses. How does Shadowrun Returns hold up? Has it lived up to expectations or should be be left in the shadows? Let’s find out."

Starting today, Hitman and Shadowrun Collection are free at Epic Games Store. The free game offers run until September 3 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim them, they’re yours to keep.
Shadow run collection is excellent. When you redeem it unlocks 3 separate titles in your library. Epic is on a roll
Shadowrun Returns is almost seven years old and has spawned numerous spin-offs. But is the original worth a revisit? Jump Dash Roll revisits its backlog in typically brutal style in today's review.
totally awesome game i have it and loving every min of it!
Replayablity is huge. I've restarted the game maybe a half dozen times after getting an hour in because I want to start a better character once I learn some more tricks. Haven't gotten tired of the game. I've played over eight hours now, but I'm no more than 1 hour into the story.
