For those fellow GAFfers considering Shadowrun Returns I already finished the game couple of months ago so I'll post some quick impressions:
I finished the game in about 15 Hours (was expecting more). The game have a great atmosphere to be honest, I loved the art style with the futuristic characters and the narration is quite good, some conversations reads like a book.
You can't Save your game when you want but only when entering new areas. There are quite a few different ways to build your characters based on how you want to approach the game. I went for a non-violent type of character that could get away from a sticky situation by persuading but when the battle was inevitable Shotgun was my weapon of choice. Very satisfying! There are main quests and side quests. Some quest have extra stuff for you to do but it's optional.
Some people reported quite some bugs and glitches. I experienced only one while others experience many and some, none. My problem was near the end of the game when some action was not happening on a certain mission. I had to replay at least one-two hours but it could be worst since some people had game-breaking bugs, which is terrible. I have no idea how improved the game is right now since I never updated after finishing it.
You can hire some characters so you can have a team to fight, there's various combinations of weapons and magic to use.
I might be missing something, but if you are tempted, and I can help, then please, let me know and ask away.
