Why players love itThings to know
50% of themes are praise8% are divided42% are complaints
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
194 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Characters are generally splendidly written and accompanied with evocative and memorable portraits: your handler, companions and most of the shopkeepers are fairly unique and likable with their own miniature storylines- many of which you can interact with meaningfully.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
116 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Squashed bugs, better performance, improved or expanded game mechanics, more player freedom--none of these are present in Shadowrun: Hong Kong, and its performance in particular is much, much worse.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
102 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While The combat has, yet again, been improved it remains the weak point of Shadowrun, thanks to the clunky UI and missing keybinding options.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Visuals are fantastic, even most of the character portraits are straight up beautiful.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A good story and character roster, though neither are as immediately pulling your heartstrings as they did in Dragonfall.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design and music add another layer of immersion, mixing cyberpunk ambiance with emotionally charged melodies that underline moments of tension or revelation.
