Sci-Fi

Shadowrun Trilogy marries cyberpunk grit with fantasy tropes, throwing players into a world of corporate espionage and magical warfare. The tactical combat, a key feature, demands careful positioning and resource management as you command a team of runners through neon-lit streets. Its branching narratives and reactive world, where choices have tangible consequences, offer a compelling reason to replay and explore the depth of its setting.

About Shadowrun Trilogy

Details
The year is 2054. Magic has returned to the world, awakening powerful creatures of myth and legend. Technology merges with flesh and consciousness. Elves, trolls, orks and dwarves walk among us, while ruthless corporations bleed the world dry. You are a shadowrunner - a mercenary living on the fringes of society, in the shadows of massive corporate arcologies, surviving day-by-day on skill and instinct alone. When the powerful or the desperate need a job done, you get it done... by any means necessary. In the urban sprawl of the Seattle metroplex, the search for a mysterious killer sets you on a trail that leads from the darkest slums to the city’s most powerful megacorps. You will need to tread carefully, enlist the aid of other runners, and master powerful forces of technology and magic in order to emerge from the shadows of Seattle unscathed. The unique cyberpunk-meets-fantasy world of Shadowrun has gained a huge cult following since its creation nearly 25 years ago. Now, creator Jordan Weisman returns to the world of Shadowrun, modernizing this classic game setting as a single player, turn-based tactical RPG.

Divinity: Original Sin II

2017 · Role-playing (RPG)

Like Shadowrun, this is a top-down tactical RPG with a deep, branching narrative, but it trades cyberpunk for high fantasy. Expect rich character interactions and turn-based combat where environmental manipulation is key.

Why recommended

  • Features a deep, character-driven narrative with multiple origin stories, complex choices, and impactful consequences, satisfying the 'Strong Story' criterion.
  • The isometric perspective and intricate turn-based combat system reward strategic positioning and clever use of environmental hazards and spells, similar to Shadowrun's tactical depth.
  • Criteria — Designed as a primarily 'Singleplayer' experience, though it offers co-op, the narrative and character development are central to individual progression and choice.
