Your motley crew brings a variety of different ways to distract, dispatch and disappear your foes, and it's these asynchronous abilities that make the difficulty so satisfying to overcome. The real pleasure here is being dropped into large maps full of guards, and slowly picking apart the puzzle of their intricate patrol routes as you work your way through. Phil: One of the most rewarding stealth games of recent years, embracing the hardcore, unforgiving attitude of the genre but still modernising it where it counts. Every mission is a lovely puzzle and there's an immense joy in meticulously setting up and pulling off the simultaneous kill I envisioned using all of my party members. Lauren Morton, Associate Editor: Shadow Tactics is the immaculate tactical stealth success that proved Mimimi Games had the chops to take up the Desperados series. I can't think of a suppurating psychic wound I'd rather spend my time in. It's the perfect cyberpunk setting: grimy, dank, and claustrophobic, soundtracked by the thrum of distant machines, and always, always raining. Josh Wolens, News Writer: Dragonfall is my favourite Shadowrun game, but Hong Kong's take on Kowloon Walled City is a triumph. It's a great magical cyberpunk yarn, but just as great as a story about cities, and how they-and the people living in them-can become victims of the machinations of the wealthy and powerful. Hong Kong, and especially the Walled City, are messy, chaotic and feel even more alive thanks to the magic that alters them in ways both subtle and significant. Robin Valentine, Print Editor: The excellent Shadowrun: Dragonfall has been in our list for a few years now, but I definitely prefer Hong Kong for its brilliantly evocative setting.įraser Brown, Online Editor: I've got a big soft spot for urban fantasy, and Shadowrun: Hong Kong does it a lot better than most. They're one of the best RPG parties around. Your whole crew is made of misfits, including a rat-spirit shaman who treats garbage like gourmet. Bringing him along on heists and infiltrations means fast-talking guards and civilians to convince them he's an actor or a cosplayer.

Even the standard Bontrager Big Earl tires are good, actually I'd say on this bike they are as good as Minions, was going to swap out the moment I got the bike but like the progressive nature of the tyre, hard wearing as well. Whether that's related to the frame design perhaps, but i've heard other people have noisy Saint's on other bikes.īontrager Big Earl fixing kit isn't bad either, ok it's not Sunline but it's everything you need and it's well made, light, strong and very user friendly. Awesome brakes but noisy as a freight train. Only downside is the noise from the Saint brakes. Put it this way, most people won't ever approach the limits of this bike, let alone go beyond. Ignore what people say about the frame being tinny, yes it's definitely thinner than some bikes but it's bombproof for the average rider. It's light as well, weight is similar to the average all mountain bike. Limitless travel, fully floating design, always active. Angles are perfect for stability, speed and handling. The ABP suspension is second to none, always active no matter what the terrain, even under braking.
