I haven’t played it yet. But I do own it on gog.

Every few years I get stuck into Shadowrun on sega mega drive. It’s an open world cyberpunk rpg. You can choose to start as samurai, decker or shaman. You can follow the plot or just do whatever. You can choose to just spend all your time in the matrix. You can go to different “Johnsons” and do any number of randomly generated runs against various corporations.

But in the end your only real choice that affects the gameplay ends up whether you use magic or guns. Even if you take a shaman, you can hire a runner to join you so you can still sit in the matrix all day. The story doesn’t care which class you picked. It always turns out the same.

But it remains one of my favourite and most played games of all time.

Do you think Cyberpunk could give me that in a modern game?
