Best free "cyberpunk" games

Cyberpunk emerged in the 1980s, shaped by visionary authors such as William Gibson and Bruce Sterling. But what exactly is cyberpunk? Imagine a grim, dystopian future where neon-lit skyscrapers loom over crime-ridden streets, technology has become both salvation and addiction, and humanity blurs with machines. It’s a world of hackers, drug addicts, and augmented rebels struggling to survive in societies ruled by megacorporations.
Gibson’s groundbreaking novel Neuromancer didn’t just redefine science fiction—it also made its way into video games, inspiring developers to bring this bleak, high-tech world to life. The genre spawned classics such as Syndicate, the dark point-and-click DreamWeb, the RPG BloodNet, and the cinematic Rise of the Dragon. Cyberpunk in gaming never truly died. Modern titles like Shadowrun Returns and Cyberpunk 2077 prove that the genre still thrives, constantly reimagining the tension between man and machine.
Notable cyberpunk video games: Syndicate, Shadowrun Returns, Deus Ex, Cyberpunk 2077.
