Run Completed

I finished up Shadowrun Returns and overall it was a pretty solid game, although a bit shorter than I expected. The first-act mystery -- someone is killing people who all received organs from the same donor -- was a creepy and memorable premise. I also really enjoyed a combat that occurred right after confirming the identity of the master villain behind that killer. I'll set the stage without giving away the plot. You and various NPCs are attending the funeral of an old friend. After some guests depart, you confront the master villain, who is also in attendance. That character escapes and unleashes mercenary teams that attack you and your NPC allies from multiple directions. It's a wild, chaotic battle, where you're hiding behind tombstones, sneaking around mausoleums, and trying desperately to avoid being surrounded. And then, to make matters worse, the gunfire awakens a pack of ghouls, who burst from their graves and start attacking everyone. Ah, good fun!
