The first hour or two of play really drew me into the Shadowrun world I remember from playing the tabletop RPG. The mood, the story, the visuals, the combat. I really loved the interpretation of decking into the Matrix. If you enjoyed the RPG then this is a great trip down memory lane.

But I don't think I'll finish playing the game through. The scripted dialog is moody and the storyline is interesting, but every dialog choice feels like it leads to the same conclusion. The combat feels arbitrary and doesn't seem to have the nuance of other turn-by-turns I've played like xcom.

7/10.
