Synther looks like it could be really good. It's an immersive sim-ey detective adventure game with randomization and permadeath elements. It's coming out in Q1 of this year—which means soon, hopefully.

You had me there till permadeath. Really dislike that for vast majority of games.
3 pages in and no one has mentioned Mankind Divided
Pretty amazing that no one mentioned it. I thought I was missing something.
I just finished the game today and I think it's pretty great. Too bad it's probably the end of the line of this series.
Apparently not since barely anyone has mentioned it. 😳
Isn't rutger Hauer in it too? As a nice Blade Runner nod. I have the game but haven't got to it yet.I started playing Observer today. It is basically Blade Runner in Krakow, featuring Roy Batty for protagonist character. First hour was interesting so far.

This post inspired me to look into this.
Saw it was on GamePass.
Downloading now.
Omikron The Nomad Soul. Yeah, it's Quantic Dream, yeah it's all over the place and doesn't know if it wants to be an FPS, fighting game or point-and-click, but it hits all the right cyberpunk notes for me. Plus, Bowie being the main antagonist and also composing the soundtrack rules.

Same. I recently finished the game and thought it was excellent. Really bummed to see how little people talk/know about it.
Observer is on sale until tomorrow on US PSN.
Any other impressions? It's looking tempting.
Also for anyone looking for some Cyberpunk sounds to spice your high tech low life, I recommend the dystopian tunes of Perturbator.

I started playing Deus Ex Mankind Divided yesterday and so far I'm enjoying it.
I had a really good time with Human Evolution so it was very easy to jump into the sequel.
Since the game was part of PS Plus and there was a sale with it Season Pass I decided to grab it too, hope it's worth it!

I've heard a bunch about Deux Ex, but what's so good about it? What exactly is it about?
It's an immersive sim that happens in a cyberpunk future where corporations/nations are fighting over the technology of humans augmentations.
The game gives you differents tools, ways and weapons ( and augmentations lol ) to fight - or not - your way through a story filled with conspiracy theories, megacorporations, society/classes debates and a lot of cool topics.
The recent games get a lot of criticism by the ones that love the classic Deus Ex but I think they do a very good job into keeping some of the core of the IP while delivering a fresh and good Deus Ex experience.
There's a campaign on the workshop for dragonfall that's a (near-)complete re-work of the SNES / Genesis versions that was pretty fun! Enjoy Draonfall and Hong Kong once you get into em! Had tons of fun with those games.
No cyberpunk "gameplay" to be had in any of these titles, but classic cyberpunk themes are present in their stories.
Was Fear Effect cyberpunk? I think it was? Been so long since I've played the games that I can't remember how hard it adheres to the tropes of the genre. Seems like it was a dystopian urban future setting with Asian elements so I think it was right in there.
Thanks for recommendation on the SNES addon, can't wait to dive in, I have fond memories of playing it on the SNES.
I played the Sega-CD version on a hacked Wii and loved it. The Wii-mote pointer controls worked very well for the light-gun sections.

Oni was so bad ass. A forgotten gem. Ahead of its time, really.
I'd go with Technobabylon and the free classic Beneath a Steel Sky. Love how they both use puzzles set in a virtual reality. If you cannot tell that Technobabylon was released in 2015 and BaSS in 1994, I don't blame you.
Technobabylon
Beneath a Steel Sky
Technobabylon is great. Has some original ideas.
Is it? I've had it sitting around since a Steam sale forever ago and every time I consider giving it a shot its screenshots turn me off. It has one of the most generic cyberpunk art styles I've ever seen. There's a lot of generic cyberpunk out there and in indie games, but usually a little something or more is done to be distinguished. Technobabylon just looks like Blade Runner straight up lol. Which isn't a bad thing by any means per se; it's just not something I need to see more of. Does it have some bomb-ass writing and sound? Because I can totally look past the visuals if that's the deal.
I had a good time with it, but I also didn't expect the second coming or anything. The graphics are fine.
Man, i have been meaning to read this for a decade, lol. I need to get on that, hope you enjoy!
