I love cyberpunk-themed games with great soundtracks.

Games I enjoy on PS5. I love their themes.

Among cyberpunk themed, I'm hooked so much with Deus EX HR.
It was also pinnacle of western game BGM/Theme for me.
Cyberpunk games are now kind of rare sadly.

 

[Xtib81]

We need more cyberpunk games tbh.

 

[Hudo]

Ghost in the Shell for PS1 was solid as well.

Check out the Ascent. Underrated little gem.

Never played any Deus EX. Should I look into anything before hitting HR?

 

[Kerotan]

I love the modern Deus ex games but haven't started cyberpunk yet.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Anno Mutationem deserves a mention as well.

If you have a PC (any sort really), try playing the first DeusEx. It's an amazing game and there are some mods that make it look a bit better.

No Shadowrun Trilogy? I loved those games!

I'm still waiting for that one cyberpunk game to make me go, "Wow." cyberpunk 77 had its moments, but ultimately, there wasnt enough meat in there to chew on.

Anyone played Citizen Sleeper? Is it good? What's it like? Recommend it?

 

[Alan Silvestro]

Ok

1 and 2 are both masterpieces. Its like visual novel mixed with a board game. You have to roll dice checks for everything including skill checks and resource management. You will feel the stress of true desperation and scarcity, but will find a way to claw your way through. OST on both is beyond top tier. Writing is extremely good. Only for gamers that want a visual novel, lots of reading, minimalist UI and gameplay.

Absolutely. Get Deus Ex on steam and install the "Deus Ex: Revision" Mod. It brushes up the graphics a bit and makes it run on modern computers. You're seriously missing out if you haven't played the original. It's a piece of gaming history. Fuck, now that I'm talking about it, I have to reinstall it as well.

Did Shadowrun on the Megadrive have a good OST?
*listen for a bit*
*audible GEMS plonking*

They did the best they could. Game was still ahead of its time.

It sucks unless you get the strongest weapon in the game. Way too fucking hard without it.

Even with it, for me the final boss was hard af and I had to use the mech which gave me a hilarious ending cutscene where characters talked to me and I was still in the mech.

Great music and gameplay though. Never played the DLC. But as I said it is hard af.

No Shadowrun Trilogy? I loved those games!

I played the first one. I did not understand the combat and the story sucked. Heard that 2 and 3 were good, but these games are basically books with static character portraits and no voice acting and this threw me off after my experience playing visual novels.

Alright thanks! Added it to my wishlist. You never know with indie games I feel like. Sometimes they're amazing, sometimes you just don't really connect with it or are not the target audience. But I feel like I should at least try this one out. I know the composer from the Kingdom games btw, really like that soundtrack too.

This. This game is criminally underrated.

If I'm being honest, it's a better cyberpunk game than CP2077.

And if it had a first-person mode it wouldn't even be a debate.

It's a isometric twin-stick shlooter with great lore and a pretty rad soundtrack, too.

Can't wait for the next installment.

Ghostrunner should have been amazing, it probably would be if the devs patched those fucking one hit kills out and gave us an energy bar instead. They got rather tedious after the 1659th time.

To say the very least.
