Cyberpunk Games to Play While Waiting for Cyberpunk 2077

[Jsimenhoff]

If you're a gamer, chances are you're excited for the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 release. I know I am. Unfortunately with no release date in site, it looks like the lot of us will be waiting for quite a while. Rather than twiddle our thumbs, why not pass the time with a big ol' list of our favorite Cyberpunk video games. I'll start:

Syndicate (2012)

Play as Miles Kilo, all around cybernetic bad ass. Hack everything, even people. Steal their chips. Upgrade yourself.

 

[Frag Maniac]

I really enjoyed Syndicate 2012, and another series that loosely fits this genre of course is Deus Ex.

 

[Euphonium]

I'm a big fan of the Shadowrun RPGs from Harebrained Schemes (Shadowrun Returns, Dragonfall, & Hong Kong)
The first one is the weakest, but they're all good, and have plenty of replay value for me

Dues Ex, all of them.

For something different, Remember Me.

Insomnia: The Ark is pretty good..... It's a RPG Cyberpunk type game..... https://store.steampowered.com/app/783170/INSOMNIA_The_Ark/

Detroit: Become Human is also a good game that deals with the futuristic and Sci-Fi genre.

Shadowrun and DeusEx are both amazing games, I would add Arcanum: Of Steamworks and magick Obscura. It's steampunk, but an extraordinary RPG overall. I'm a die-hard fan of Shadowruns though, go play all of them Dragonfall has an astonishing story.

I second all of these games. Would also suggest E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy. Not very typical cyberpunk and quite weird overall, but very fun.

My first topic on these forums and I'm already loving it. Observer is not recommended so I'll leave it here

 

[Phazoner]

To say some others:

Binary Domain is a great Cyberpunk game which gameplay has some nice innovations for the third person shooter genre, featuring great graphics, bosses, fights and a plot which feels dangerously similar to a very recent and universally acclaimed cyberpunk movie.

System Shock 2 is always a good recommendation.

The Mass Effect trilogy is more futuristic than cyberpunk, but the plot has a strong cyberpunk component.

Hard Reset is a brainless and old-school great cyberpunk FPS.

Crackdown 3 is released tomorrow and has a vibrant cyberpunk city.

Tron 2.0 is a classic which gives you the most cyber look for obvious reasons.

Call of Duty Black Ops 3 has also a cyberpunk based world and plot which felt disappointing to me but it is still fun and the plot is anyways likeable.

I think Transistor is kinda cyberpunk but not in a typical dystopian way

 

[ScrewySqrl]

To throw an odd twist, I'll suggest:
VA-11 Hall-A

where you area bartender dealing with the psychological overload of a dystopian cyberpunk society -- eg your customers

 

[Jesper Heidenberg Hansen]

Mass effect 1-3

 

[tizerist]

omikron nomad soul

general role playing games, never played the witcher before but I'm pretty sure witcher 3 is a pretty good game just from all the reviews I've seen. Another kind of a hidden gem is vampire the masquerade bloodlines, if you haven't allready played the game you still probably heard of the recently announced sequel to it. Great role playing game, a little buggy but the gog version should work just fine.
Fallout new vegas is a great example too or even fallout 4 isn't really that bad as a more simple first person shooter, If you're not scared of playing something other than these smooth 3d first person or third person action RPGs, check out the old fallout games.
If you're into a more sci fi setting, there are mass effect games but I really never touched them and there are the star wars old republic game. the wo knights f the old republic are both great singleplayer RPGs and I'm really enjoying star wars the old republic(the mmo) which has a lot of fun free content and is being updated to this day

You can preorder at Amazon.com for a New Years Eve release ( 31 Dec. '19 ). I checked and it IS a Tuesday which is typical for Game / Movie releases.

Mass effect 1-3

I have all four installed. Went back to revisit the first three ( haven't played Andromeda ). Mass Effect would NOT play, but two and three would. Turns out there was an issue with Mass Effect and the i7 6700k Processor. Plays fine on the i7 8700k that I upgraded to. have no clue what I was running when I played it the first time.

The Witcher series was good and I enjoyed all three. They just got better with each new release. The Witcher 3 was the best of the lot as it had a HUGE open world to roam around in and lots to do. One of the DLCs ( Blood & Wine ) was nearly a stand alone game itself. It was a rather bit world with lots to do and a solid story. That is one game, you really do need a horse to get around. It is just too big to try and walk it. I have been revisiting Fallout 3, but it isn't playing to well on here. Keeps freezing. It played in Windows 7 just fine, but even in Windows 7 Compatibility, it still freezes. The others work Fine. I am still in Fallout 4. I keep getting sidetracked working on my settlements.

 

[coastie65]

Back revisiting Fallout 3. First Time playing it in HD ( 1920x1080 ).

here's a great recommendation, the game called underrail is an Isometric turn based roleplaying game similar to fallout. before you turn away because of it being 2d pixelated look, please note that it's still a new game(came out in 2015) made by talented artist so it looks beautifull visually and I haven't played it myself yet but from the reviews I have seen it seems to be a well recieved RPG.
It's the closest thing you'll get to a role üplaying game set in a cyberpunk setting

 

[Major_Trouble]

Witcher 3. Yes I know it's not cyberpunk inspired but it's by CD Project Red and is awesome all the same.

 

[EazyMcBreezy]

It may not be the exact aesthetic that you are looking for, but there are always the Watch Dogs games to tide you over for a little while. At least until April at any rate.


Or, you could try the original Cyberpunk 2020 pen and paper RPG. Old school, but CD Projekt Red have a good history of finding good source material to expand on.

 

[ThisBoyAwesome]

I also very aggressive for this game to play but the issue is this I have 940 MX Nevada 2GB Graphic card and I think this will not enough for this game, may b I play with the minimum graphic setting but I want to play in High graphic resolution.

 

[Cuss_ed]

Hard Reset. FPS all the way.

The observer was an awesome game. I especially loved the twist in the end. Surprisingly the game was kind of scary too and there were some sequences that reminded me of SOMA. Especially when you hacked into people’s consciousnesses and we’re chased by that entity thing in the cubicle level.

in fact I recommend SOMA as another cyberpunk-type game... kind of.
