Lemons, Shadowruns and Transistors

Since life is giving me lemons and forces me to drink it, but I am allergic to lemon juice...well...you get the drill.

I had time to check out Shadowrun Returns.

I am a big cyberpunk fan (also the pen und paper RPG), but I always had a strange feeling about mixing fantasy and cyberpunk.

And that's what Shadowrun is. Well, the crowd funded game is actually quite interesting. If you like stylish hand drawn tile iso graphic and a lot of good written text, then Shadow Run returns is something you will enjoy.

The fighting system is a bit too similar to XCOM, but hey, you can not do everything original. Or so they say.

Also I checked out Transistor. I mention that here cause the design is somewhat similar to the design of Shadowrun Returns, at least in my perception.

What I like about Transistor is the somewhat innovative mixing of real time and round-base fighting.

The music, praised by so many, is ok, but the female singer can't pronounce the th correctly. It is a minor detail, but it really confused me. Perhaps this is even wanted ?
