DHGF: Shadowrun Returns is one of the best games of the year. It manages to hold true to mood, theme, mechanics and character building of the tabletop game and is simply a joy to play. Is it a perfect conversion of the tabletop game? No, but Shadowrun is far more about the stories being told about the Sixth World than following the mechanics to a T. There are fifth editions and countless house rules for the game after all. While there are things about Shadowrun Returns that I could see people nitpick or quibble about like better graphics, some voice acting or gamers that prefer action or turn based RPGs over SRPGs, I personally love the game as it is and there are enough staffers here at Diehard GameFAN seriously considering this game for our 2013 GOTY that it will be interesting to see which version of Shadowrun earns the most awards this year – the tabletop or the electronic.
