Shadowrun Returns – Second Opinion
While the journey of Shadowrun Returns is a bit short, it’s well-polished and thoroughly enjoyable entertainment at a bargain price.
There was a time when storytelling in video games was an excessively drab affair. Some might argue that this is still an issue, but one would have to be intentionally ignorant to deny the lengths storytelling has come in interactive media. For now, I refer to generations ago when earthworm and bobcat platformers were reigning supreme. There was little in the way of depth and originality, aside from Square’s earliest RPGs and Shadowrun. In its SNES and Genesis incarnations, Shadowrun stood out among a dreary landscape with, ironically, a dreary landscape of its own; one filled with danger, challenge, and a gritty world seldom seen on a platform once considered fodder for children.

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.
