Shadowrun: Anarchy
Publisher: Catalyst Game Labs

I read and played Anarchy years ago and was just reminded it existed, so: Shadowrun Anarchy is a good idea (a lightweight option for playing Shadowrun) but the execution here is very poor. It might be usable for seasoned Shadowrun players looking for guidance on how to pare the game down to something less crunchy, but it is absolutely not a stand-alone product and would not be very helpful to anyone new to Shadowrun. Rules (which are nothing to write home about) are poorly and incompletely explained, and the book casually assumes you have a copy of SR5 you can reference and convert things from by yourself. I would've rated this slightly better (though still not well) if it presented itself as an alternate rule system to use alongside SR5, but Anarchy seems to be presented on its own as a complete core and an easier entry point for new players. It is neither of those things.

Urban Shadows: Los Cazados (1st Ed.)
Publisher: Magpie Games
by H. C. [Verified Purchaser]

Nicely done hack for running a PbtA game of werewolves fighting evil spirits and demons in a world similar to our own but with supernatural underpinnings.

The setting is Mexico and the setup is very cool. The mechanics (while laser-focused on getting the type of story the game want's to tell going) are not nailed to the locale and could be shifted elsewhere if you really want to tell a similar story set in another place. It has a local focus, the pack in Los Cazados should be invested in the specific territory they're trying to take care of.

This is a minigame of Urban Shadows so it doesn't add detailed crunch, though, and if you're looking to translate a certain other shapeshifter game with high fidelity to mechanics it's not going to do what you want.

But if you enjoy these themes, this is a very good take on werewolves for Urban Shadows.
