The cyberpunk sci-fi genre quickly made its way into the pages of comic books, movies and, of course, computer games. The genre is based on the concept of “high tech, low life”. In simple words, the works of this genre are usually about the future, where high technology is neighbouring huge problems in social, economic or political spheres (often everywhere at once). In their tone, these works are closer to the noir genre, with the only amendment that the action in them takes place in the future. Today, we would like to introduce you to some notable games in this genre.

Cyberpunk 2077

Hardly anyone doubted that this game would make it to our list today. The creation of Polish developers from CD Project Red was coolly welcomed at the release due to a lot of bugs. However, it didn’t prevent the game from becoming a hit, because last year the developers talked about 25 million copies sold. A lot of patches, as well as Phantom Liberty add-on finally made it the game that almost everyone likes and deserves a place in our list.

Deus Ex series of games

If Cyberpunk 2077 seems overly optimistic to you, you’ll probably like Deus Ex better. Like the previous game, it’s about a not-so-distant future where people are actively improving themselves with the help of various augments. It is on her in the game, and the main emphasis is made as society is divided into two camps – supporters and opponents of artificial body enhancement. The game turned out great, but the continuation is not planned yet, which fans are very sorry about. The actor who voiced the main character of the game, Adam Jensen, also regrets it. According to Elias Toufexis, he said goodbye to the character but still hopes that someday the rights to the franchise will be bought out and his character will return again in new games.

Drive Multiplier Mayhem

The game from developer NetEnt is quite different from all the others on this list. The fact that we are talking about a video slot and not a standard video game. The title became very popular and appeared in many top casinos almost immediately after its release. Our authors studied the first online casinos, Mostbet and 1win, and found this game there. It can be launched for free or for money. In the latter case, you will need to register at Mostbet or get an account at 1win or other popular casinos. The game looks quite similar to Cyberpunk 2077, especially in terms of character design.

Stray

Undoubtedly, this is the most original game on our list, as you will have the opportunity to play as a real cat only here. According to the story, the cat gets into the city, which is inhabited by robots, and tries to get out of this strange place. The fact that we have to play as a small animal makes the gameplay very unusual. And the incredibly emotional story will surely leave no player indifferent.

Watch Dogs

Three games – three different stories. The first game in the series is called the most serious and successful. The plot of the second part was about teenagers and was too festive. Well, the third, in general, absorbed a lot of extremely controversial plot and gameplay elements. But despite a lot of shortcomings, this creation from Ubisoft can be called one of the brightest representatives of the cyberpunk genre in video games. And at least with the first part, you should definitely familiarize yourself.
