March 2025
A fun CRPG, if rough around the edges. (+) _Gritty_ cyberpunk setting, strong Deus Ex vibes. A definite plus in a sea of "overdone" and neon-saturated cyberpunk games. (+) Decent story and writing. (+) Combat is fun. I played as a bog standard street samurai with a rifle. A few times I had flashbacks of X-COM after missing shots right in front of enemies even with a neural-implant aiming system lol (-) The hacking/decker stuff is atrocious. The matrix world you enter for hacking missions is tedious, and I hated every second of it. (-) Controls are janky at times. Like not being able to interact with doors and other objects despite clicking on them multiple times. (-) Companions in RPG games are usually hit or miss, The crew I have in my current run is definitely the latter. Whenever a companion levels up, you select from 1 of 2 upgrades, otherwise the game manages and upgrades their gear automatically. I prefer this system as it cuts down on gear and stat management -- some players might hate it for those same reasons -- but I nevertheless found my team's abilities boring and underwhelming. I've played better and I've played worse CRPGs. But if you like cyberpunk settings and get this on sale, it's probably worth a playthrough if you like the genre.

Best gameplay in the Shadowrun series reboot (especially playing as a Decker). Dragonfall has the better story but SR:Hong Kong's story is still good overall. The music is great too.

One of my favorite games! Im a huge tabletop convert but gaddamn that system was hard to learn!! Like a university course just to figure out the rules!! So I donated and monitored the Returns kickstarter- it hit the "requisite" concepts- but that game had flaws. Its the only one in the triology I didnt bother finishing. Dragonfall and Hong Kong delivered on the initial promise and Im so grateful I got to immerse myself into the sixth world!! Dragonfall is super good but its late game is sort of wonky in that you go from a quest based system that has multiple victory conditions to a 3 hour grind of pure hellish combat- lol! Hong Kong was a gift. If youre a CRPG guy- you have to take this one for a spin! Dragonfall gets major points for giving its characters both compelling backstories AND some fairly clever adventure/run tie ins- but Hong Kong tripples down! So much interplay between the RP and the quests/runs/combat- thats really my main issue with these games and SRHK satisfied my stupidly niche itch and then some. It feels wierd to type- but yet again the final part gets ridiculously combat heavy- but tbh I think that plays to this games strengths. You use a few chracacter upgrades and perks to give you bonuses outside of combay- but at the end of the day youre building a min/max cyberpunk fiend whose not here to talk about roleplaying- hes here to street up some samurais...

this is a really fantastic CRPG, it's not quite as deep or complex as some of the bigger budget CRPGs out there but it is SO well written, well presented, moody, atmospheric, and nails being both somber and lighthearted. theres some really great characters, incredible visuals, and moments you straight up cant get outside of shadowrun such as being hired by a rival company to sneak in and push things around in an office. no seriously, your job is to move a floor panel, push a lamp over, rearrange a potted plant, just to mess up the feng shui and drive down profits from the workers being miserable it's awesome 10/10

A great addition to the Shadowrun series. It improves on the existing systems, adds new weapons and cyberware and has an interresting story. The story is more personal this time around. You have a semi-set backstory and relationship to some of the characters. The added bonus campaign continues after the main story and wraps up a few loose ends. The matrix system has been changed. You are no longer in combat the moment enemy IC shows up. Instead it works as a real time stealth game until you get spotted and have to kill all IC in the area. Getting spotted enough will raise the alarm, which happens a lot faster and is a lot harsher than in the previous system. It can feel kind of wonky since the isometric view and movement was not originally meant for this kind of gameplay. If you are unfamilliar with the series Be warned that it involves a lot of reading. The story is mainly told through conversations and descriptive text. Rather than an animated cutscene, you will often read stuff like "he looks at you menacingly and steps closer". There is no voice acting. The upside to this is it allows for a lot more "fluff" answers, where you decide how your character responds to stuff and sometimes what happened in the past. There are also a lot of conversation skill checks, meaning a straight up combat character build is not necessarily the best option. You level by completing objectives rather than killing enemies, so there really is no downside to avoiding a fight by passing these skill checks. Combat is turn based and works well. You need to manage your cover, buffs, healing and so on. If you bring a diverse team it's not too difficult.
