I have not heard a large number of tracks so far, as I am not far into the game at all, but so far I am not disappointed. The music is definitely solid in this and, combined with the art book, makes me very, very pleased that I pre-ordered the deluxe version. The music in the Shadowrun games by Harebrained Schemes has always been solid and so far, Shadowrun: Hong Kong is keeping the standards as high as I would expect. You don’t mess with -this- corporate elf! Just look at how much business that portrait means. Personally, I really love a lot of the new portraits (trolls and orc dudes / dudettes don’t look particularly ugly either) and will certainly be using the new pictures in my playthroughs of Hong Kong. Now that Hong Kong is here, we’ve been given another set of excellent portraits that just raise the bar once again. The portraits in Shadowrun Returns were decent enough, then Dragonfall stepped it up and gave us some cleaner, nicer looking portraits.
The older portraits from Shadowrun Returns and Dragonfall are still there, but the new portraits up the ante yet again. Second thing I noticed was the general quality of the new portraits. Give her a pair of pointy ears, change a few details in her background and she’s basically ported. My first playthrough is going to be a port of my own character, Renée Laurent, into the Shadowrun universe, so having a corporate looking elf portrait is just something that I really like. So, I hopped into the character creator and had a bit of a play.įirst thing I noticed was a small, personal thing: there’s a very corporate looking elf portrait which made me cheer and instantly know which one I was going with. For a combination that does not sound as if it would work, it’s a pretty solid formula. It’s top down and set in the Shadowrun universe, cyberpunk with traditional fantasy elements, such as magic, elves, dragons etc. It is a totally stand-alone cRPG set in Hong Kong. So, what is Shadowrun: Hong Kong? It’s the third game in a series by Harebrained Schemes, though it is not directly linked to the previous two, just as Dragonfall was not a sequel to the Dead Man’s Switch story in Shadowrun Returns. What I can offer though are my first thoughts. I will not be giving any spoilers and I will not have an in-depth knowledge of the game just yet, only having played a few hours into it. Shadowrun: Hong Kong released a few hours ago and I’ve only just managed to hop on, being in a Cyberpunk 2020 pen and paper session for most of the evening. I’ve replayed Shadowrun Returns and Dragonfall. I’ve been waiting for this to launch for months now.
