I just bought it and have been playing 2 or 3 hours and I just keep waiting for the game to start and the linear tutorial to end. It seems though, that this is just what the game is. I’m going to keep at it for now, but I don’t have high hopes.

Not that I’m bitter.

Spelunky, Desktop Dungeons, ToME, Eador all appeared and all are great.

With Shadowrun it’s obvious how it could be so much more and how flawed is even small thing we’ve got in the end. Though maybe by now there’re some cool fan modules that have open world or even good story. Maybe it’ll become new Neverwinter Nights.

Usually I’m quite cynical about videogaming’s attempts to explore serious subjects, but Papers Please absolutely nailed its subject matter even if the game side of it wasn’t quite all that.

And I thought Shadowrun was good! Yes, it was limited, but it was a budget game in every sense of the word. Perhaps Wasteland will prove me wrong, but I think it’s quite hard to do something that *isn’t* limited in some way on Kickstarter funding.
