What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $3.99, set in November 2017. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 95 in the 11 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 13 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 5 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 4 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 89 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 89 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut ($14.99, scores 80) beats it on value, while it beats Torment: Tides of Numenera ($34.99, scores 27).
1 of the 475 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026.

What players say
shadowrun is always worth your time, also the game is great but does have its.... issues at times
This is the perfection of the reboot trilogy for Shadowrun, as far as mechanics go. A good story and character roster, though neither are as immediately pulling your heartstrings as they did in Dragonfall. The humor and comedic moments in this entry far exceed the previous two, so it's not like this game doesn't have its shining moments. What this game does GREAT is perfect the mechanics of the reboot. Everything...
I absolutely adore this game. It's an easy recomendation from me! The story, the characters, everything is written so well, it made me fall in love with the whole Shadowrun world. There is one problem tho, I can't shake the feeling the game is not "done". As if part of the end is missing. But it still a solid choice overall! If you like Cyberpunk and wanted magic in it. Try Shadowrun!

Shadowrun: Hong Kong - Extended Edition scores 69/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/346940/shadowrun-hong-kong-extended-editionThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Aug 1, price as of Sep 24.
