Howdy folks,

Just finished watching Blade Runner for the first time and it's got me in the mood for a cyberpunk/dystopian sci-fi themed game. Anyone have any recommendations outside of Deus Ex (already played)? Not too fussed with the genre.

Cheers.

Hard Reset comes to mind.

 

[Grisby]

I thought Remember Me had some good blade runner bits. It really has a unique sci-fi setting with it's whole future Paris motif.

 

[adamsapple]

The two new Deus Ex games are very visually inspired by Blade Runner. Definitely check those out if you haven't OP.

edit: sorry, you asked besides that.

 

[higemaru]

Perfect Dark has a level in Chicago that is sorta Blade Runner esque.

The Shadowrun games have always given me a BR vibe too although they lean more cyberpunk than neo noir.

 

[Fancolors]

If you don't mind waifus.

Yet another legendary first post.

 

[Acquiescence]

The first quarter of Fear Effect. Yep, only the first quality. Sorry.

 

[Burt]

Satellite Reign, which is conveniently under $5 on Steam right now

I think they might've taken a cue or two from BR

 

[OneLessIcon]

In case you think this was just a joke, this game is actually extremely good.

 

[Krammy]

How has no one said Snatcher yet? It's literally Blade Runner.

 

[HF2014]

Just cant believe this game is nowhere to be found. It was amazing. Christ, i once had it, i just dont know what i did with it.

This game need a remaster!

 

[sixghost]

Gemini Rue is about as close as it gets.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

shadowrun for snes the genesis one is ok but snes one is the best
syndicate old pc version the console ports are ok though

 

[Zushin]

Shit, why is there no GOG version :/

First post nails it?

Great game, don't know if it's playable on modern PCs anymore.

Was gonna post this, surprised it took 16 posts.

Maybe?

You just need to patch the installer.

 

[illadelph]

The first Mass Effect's OST is clearly Blade Runner inspired

 

[Nzyme32]

The obvious and best answer. One of my favourite games

First post nails it?

Great game, don't know if it's playable on modern PCs anymore.

It is, if you are willing to adapt the original installer for more recent machines.

It is. You'll have to use a fan made installer and tweak a few files but it's not THAT difficult to get running.

I remember renting this game way back in the day when a local store would still rent PC games. I re-played it a couple years ago. Obviously the graphics are rough as shit now but simply experiencing the story and atmosphere make the game still hold up today. Analyzing the crime scene photos and doing Voight Kampff tests? Hell yeah.

Prey 2 (R.I.P.)

Y u do this

 

[valentine71]

There was that Cyber-Punk point & click adventure game, what was it? It was from Wadget Eye Games or some company like that. Also Dex is pretty good. It is nearly a 2D Deus Ex game.

 

[NickatNite]

Hard Reset

 

[Caesar III]

Awesome game, I need to play this again

 

[Tobe Tobusch]

That one level in timesplitters 2 is indeed very much inspired by blade runner. What do you think of the movie OP?

 

[DashReindeer]

This is a great thread that always needs to exist on this forum in some capacity. I have been playing a game of pen and paper 2nd edition Shadowrun for a few months now and it's always awesome to get more inspiration for dialogue and character building elements. Gonna be adding a bunch of the recommendations here to my Steam sale cart that I am amassing right now.

Still on the fence about VA-11 HALL-A though. One of the primary reasons I like cyberpunk stuff is the aesthetic and this game's anime artstyle just doesn't quite do it for me (I feel like I have been saying that a lot recently. What happened to me and anime? I used to love it.)

EDIT: Read Only Memories was a pretty good point and click cyberpunk adventure, though it's much less dystopian than Blade Runner.

Made a LTTP thread earlier in off topic with my thoughts here: neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1328255

Shadowrun: Dragonfall

 

[MDSVeritas]

Perfect Dark's first half has that distinct near-future gritty setting that gave me huge blade runner vibes and I loved it

 

[Coreda]

Was mentioned above: Gemini Rue. Pretty decent.

Wish there were more Snatcher-like games. The adult PC-98 game X-Girl ticks the right things in the graphics department. No idea what the actual game is like though.

 

[Strootman]

Just wait for cyberpunk 2077.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Remember Me

The actual game doesn't come close to that concept art.

 

[Monado Blade]

The first system shock was quite cyberpunkish.

This kind of pixel art illustrations hit all my buttons. Damn.
