Congratulations! Shadowrun: bringing people together.
Thanks for replying! My fiancee and I are playing Shadowrun:Hong Kong on the PS5 as I type this.
SR:HK was a game we played as a date when we first met.

A reminder of the simple but often forgotten truth that all three of Harebrained Shemes' Shadowrun games were brilliant. If you haven't played them, well, do so.

Have you ever played a game, hit the BIG NARRATIVE TWIST and it's totally changed how you feel about the game? For good/bad? Just the game title and feeling please (don't reveal twist) or else the spoiler police will lock me up for incitement.
Might skip this one if you don't like SPOILERS, jic.

Thinking alot about discovery/discoverability this week. How do you hear about new games? Do you do anything extra to "look" for new games you may not have heard about? What is a game that seemed to come out of nowhere for you?
