GI: In the first decade of the 21st century, the world was humming along to the accelerating tune of technology, little knowing the dramatic change of beat about to hit. The Awakening brought magic back to the world; elven and orkish children were born to human parents, dragons re-emerged from the shadows, and gifted individuals wove spells and summoned elementals. By 2054, magic and technology are playing in concert. Magic-fueled megacorps run governments, and technomancers work the shadows between the virtual and mystical realms. Shadowrun Returns drops players headfirst into this richly realized fiction, combining classic role-playing storytelling with modern tactical battles. The production values are more modest than many contemporary RPGs, and the breadth and length of the adventure is limited, but running the shadows has never been more fun.

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.
