18 Greatest Role-Playing Games Of The Decade (So Far)

16. Shadowrun Returns

Shadowrun Returns
Harebrained Schemes

The world of Shadowrun continues to be incredibly underrated, despite being one where trolls, elves and all the more established fantasy races are cast into a world of Blade Runner-esque steampunk sci-fi.

For this soft reboot, you'll quickly become embroiled in a missing person's case, spiralling out into more excuses to lose yourself in the brilliant turn-based combat system. Rather like XCOM but with a hand-drawn style, everything about Shadowrun Returns and its extended DLC is bathed in character and memorability - providing you give it a chance.
