Mode: single player
Genre: role-playing, turn-based tactics

The original Shadowrun was a tabletop RPG that spawned several games on different platforms (although Harebrained Schemes' Shadowrun: Hong Kong, in particular, is the third entry in the RPG series). Shadowrun: Hong Kong takes place in a cyberpunk-themed setting, where players engage in turn-based tactical combat.
Although this modern RPG received a strong reception from critics (as shown by its Metacritic score: 81/100), some highlights were given for not being sufficiently innovative compared to Shadowrun Returns. However, the consensus is that Shadowrun: Hong Kong still contains a compelling story and compelling strategy gameplay. Later, the developers released an expansion that brought additional story content and more complete bug fixes.
