Disco Elysium: The Final Cut

“89 on Metacritic. The deepest RPG narrative ever made. No combat — just dialogue, skill checks, and a disgraced detective trying to remember who he is in a dying city. The world-building and political writing are what Cyberpunk 2077's story wanted to be at its most ambitious. If you loved V's story, play this immediately.”

FOR · Cyberpunk 2077 players who loved the story and want the most ambitious RPG narrative availableNOT FOR · Players who want action — Disco Elysium has no combat whatsoever

The Outer Worlds

“85 on Metacritic. Obsidian's corporate sci-fi RPG — same first-person perspective, same stat-driven character building, same 'corporation as villain' theme as Cyberpunk 2077. Shorter and more focused, but the writing and worldbuilding are excellent. Perfect tone match for CP2077's satirical angle.”

FOR · CP2077 players who want the same corporate sci-fi satire in a more focused packageNOT FOR · Players who want Night City scale — The Outer Worlds is deliberately smaller and more contained

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

“84 on Metacritic. The closest spiritual match to Cyberpunk 2077's core fantasy — augmented humans, corporate conspiracy, Prague as a living cyberpunk city. Multiple solutions to every problem: stealth, combat, hacking, social. The story ends abruptly (sequel cancelled), but the gameplay loop is exceptional.”

FOR · CP2077 players who want the same augment-and-infiltrate fantasy in a more intimate settingNOT FOR · Players who need a narrative conclusion — Mankind Divided ends mid-story due to a cancelled sequel

Control

“82 on Metacritic. Remedy's brutalist paranormal action game — different genre but the same 'corporation hiding supernatural secrets in a brutalist building' energy. The lore is dense and rewards obsessive reading. Some of the most creative enemy design in any action game. Short but stylistically unforgettable.”

FOR · CP2077 fans who loved the lore depth and want something with equally dense world-buildingNOT FOR · Players who need open world exploration — Control is a contained Metroidvania-style map

Ghostrunner

“81 on Metacritic. One-hit-kill cyberpunk parkour through a dystopian tower. The aesthetic is pure Cyberpunk 2077 — neon, corporate dystopia, augmented warrior. The gameplay is a precision puzzle game disguised as a slasher. Short and intense. If the CP2077 aesthetic is what you're after, Ghostrunner delivers it undiluted.”

FOR · CP2077 players who want the cyberpunk aesthetic in a fast, skill-driven action gameNOT FOR · Players wanting RPG depth or open world exploration — this is a linear precision platformer

Prey (2017)

“79 on Metacritic. Arkane's space station immersive sim — same DNA as Deus Ex: multiple solutions, ability customisation, and a world built for creative problem-solving. Set on Talos I where everything has gone wrong. Slower than Cyberpunk 2077 but the systemic depth and atmosphere are equally impressive.”

FOR · CP2077 players who loved the immersive sim elements and want a pure expression of that genreNOT FOR · Players who want fast-paced action — Prey rewards patience and exploration, not combat aggression

Detroit: Become Human

“~78 on Metacritic. Quantic Dream's android civil rights narrative — closest game to exploring the 'what makes us human' themes at Cyberpunk 2077's heart. Heavily branching story with real consequences. More interactive movie than RPG, but the sci-fi world-building and thematic depth are genuine.”

FOR · CP2077 fans who loved the story's humanity themes and want more narrative sci-fiNOT FOR · Players who want gameplay depth — Detroit is fundamentally a branching cinematic, not an RPG

The Ascent

“~77 on Metacritic. Top-down twin-stick shooter set in a cyberpunk megacoplex — corporate dystopia, neon streets, and a genuinely impressive visual density. The world matches CP2077's aesthetic well. The RPG systems are shallow compared to CP2077 but the co-op works and the setting is lovingly built.”

FOR · CP2077 fans who want a co-op cyberpunk game with strong aesthetic and lighter RPG demandsNOT FOR · Players wanting deep character builds — The Ascent's systems are shallow by comparison

Observer: System Redux

“~72 on Metacritic. You're a detective who jacks into dead people's memories in 2084 Kraków. The atmosphere is exceptional — decaying tenement blocks, glitching consciousness, late-stage cyberpunk horror. Short but disturbing. Rutger Hauer's final performance. For players who love the dark corners of CP2077's world.”

FOR · CP2077 fans who want pure cyberpunk horror atmosphere in a short, memorable packageNOT FOR · Players who want action or RPG systems — Observer is a walking sim and puzzle game

Ruiner

“~78 on Metacritic. Top-down bullet-hell cyberpunk action — brutal, stylish, and relentlessly fast. The aesthetic is stunning: neon on black, pixel art meets future shock. Combat is deep for a twin-stick game. Very short but the aesthetic and tone perfectly match CP2077's visual language.”

FOR · Players who want cyberpunk aesthetic in the most intense, condensed form possibleNOT FOR · Players who want story or RPG depth — Ruiner is pure style and action, minimal narrative

Wanted: Dead

“~55 on Metacritic. Cyberpunk action game with genuinely bad design choices — janky combat, worse checkpointing, and a kitchen-sink aesthetic that somehow misses the genre's appeal. Committed fans call it a cult classic; everyone else calls it unfinished. Avoid.”

FOR · Masochists who specifically want to play every cyberpunk game ever madeNOT FOR · Everyone — play Ghostrunner instead for cyberpunk action at a fraction of the frustration

“~70 on Metacritic. Dead Space creator's attempt to recapture that formula in a space prison. The visual production is stunning — Callisto Protocol is genuinely beautiful. The gameplay is repetitive and the story never earns its ambitions. Worth watching a playthrough; not worth playing.”

FOR · CP2077 fans who want sci-fi horror and can tolerate repetitive gameplay for great visualsNOT FOR · Most players — Dead Space Remake (not on this list) does everything this attempts, better

E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy

“~55 on Metacritic. French indie cyberpunk RPG with ideas bigger than its budget by a factor of ten. Deeply broken, deeply strange, and sometimes fascinating. A cult artifact for the adventurous. Not a recommendation — a warning label. Only for players who specifically love broken-but-ambitious games.”

FOR · Experimental game archaeologists who want to see cyberpunk's weirdest cornersNOT FOR · Everyone else — the jank is severe and the experience is designed to confuse

HONORABLE MENTIONS · CUT FROM THIS LIST

BUY

Deus Ex: Human Revolution

~89 on Metacritic. The predecessor to Mankind Divided — gold colour-scheme, augment-and-infiltrate, Jensen's gravelly monologues. Slightly rougher but with a complete story. Play before Mankind Divided.

BUY

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty

The DLC for CP2077 itself — widely regarded as better than the base game in every dimension. 90+ on Metacritic. If you haven't played PL, do that before anything on this list.

WAIT

Cloudpunk

Narrative driving game set in a rain-soaked cyberpunk city. You're a delivery driver. Pure atmosphere, minimal gameplay. For players who just want to exist in a cyberpunk world.

WAIT

Shadowrun: Hong Kong

Cyberpunk D&D essentially — turn-based CRPG in a magic-meets-technology future. Harebrained Schemes's best entry. Budget production, genuine heart.

BUY

Neon White

~88 on Metacritic. Anime card-based speed-running action game. Not cyberpunk in setting but the aesthetic and attitude match CP2077's visual energy perfectly. Completely unlike anything else on this list.
