The first that comes to mind is: Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.

Another one is a Steam game called OutDrive:

Can you name more games with similar aesthetics?

WordsintheWater · Feb 23, 2016

The whole game wasn't bathed in this aesthetic, but Infamous Second Son had great use of neon

leng jai · Feb 23, 2016

Remember Me

vio · Feb 23, 2016

Tron 2.0, great game.

Xamtheking · Feb 23, 2016

I would argue Hotline Miami uses enough neon to qualify

Korigama · Feb 23, 2016

Double Dragon Neon.

AlexMeloche · Feb 23, 2016

Does Splatoon and Sunset Overdrive count?

Beta Stage · Feb 23, 2016

Chinatown and downtown Miagani are pretty neonified in Batman: Arkham Knight.

krpiper · Feb 23, 2016

Satellite Reign comes to mind

jackissocool · Feb 23, 2016

InFamous Second Son has a neon based power set that just looks amazing at night in the rain.

Unison · Feb 23, 2016

Gemini Rue technically doesn't have a lot of neon, but it very much seems like a similar, Blade Runner-style aesthetic.

The Blade Runner game should be mentioned too, for that matter.

Yep.

Strangelove77 · Feb 23, 2016

InFamous: Second Son/First Light

DOWN · Feb 23, 2016

Hotline Miami 1&2

Unison · Feb 23, 2016

Again, not an exact match but the blacklight level in Psychonauts seems worth mentioning:

Afro · Feb 23, 2016

loved the neon signs in Bioshock.

Falk · Feb 23, 2016

Does it count if it's unintentional?

glitched-out XCOM 2

Unison · Feb 23, 2016

Any colored Vector-based game has this look too...

Unison · Feb 23, 2016

Phantom Dust:

Cameron122 · Feb 23, 2016

We need a vaporwave video game

Starring Alexander The Great riding a dolphin or something

CountAntonius · Feb 23, 2016

Phantasy Star Online made great use of it.

Unison · Feb 23, 2016

Geometry Wars

Retro · Feb 23, 2016

The way some people carried on, you'd think Diablo III qualified;

Real Answer: Pacman Championship Edition was the first thing that came to mind. Like, blissfully neon.

The post above you has a picture of a vapourware game.

I second infamous second son and first light.

I love neon.

Screaming Meat · Feb 23, 2016

Does The Wolf Among Us count?

Unison · Feb 23, 2016

Those Just Dance games are a good example:

It does for me. Best telltale game until I played borderlands.

Lunar FC · Feb 23, 2016

Crossing Souls.

Definitely the best part of the game. Loved the aesthetic

TreasureHunterG · Feb 23, 2016

Cyberpunk is a good example of neon-soaked aesthetics. Hard Reset is another one:

smashballTaz · Feb 23, 2016

The fantastic (and free) Nitronic Rush:

Shikoba · Feb 23, 2016

Mmmmmm dem cyberpunk colors.

Shadowrun Returns / Dragonfall / Hong Kong deserve a mention:

Came to post this, so I'm satisfied.

Pein · Feb 23, 2016

DmC club level, does that count?

TreasureHunterG · Feb 23, 2016

Neon Drive, an iOS arcade racer.

BadData · Feb 23, 2016

Distance is a cool "survival-racer." The aesthetic is pretty sweet:

Hierophant · Feb 23, 2016

Sleeping Dogs really nailed the feel of walking around Hong Kong at night in the rain, albeit with a lot less people.

plasmawave · Feb 23, 2016

Not neon but something close.

Jet Set Radio.

There's the Early Access spiritual jet set game called Hover or something like that on Steam.

thesonovabeach · Feb 23, 2016

Horizon Chase has a few awesome neon-filled levels.

Wait, did these guys just massively rip off Power Drive 2000?
That would be pretty despicable.

EDIT: Just checked and it is indeed a complete rip-off, boycott this game people.

Mascot · Feb 23, 2016

Blur has neon power-ups.

TokiDoki · Feb 23, 2016

Sleeping Dog is not mentioned yet I see .
