Get your Aviators on and pop some pseudoendotryzine, because it's time to dive into these 10 games like Cyberpunk 2077 to play in 2035
10. Cloudpunk
Developer: Ion Lands
Platform(s): PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch
This one is not just on the list because it has “punk” in the title. Cloudpunk is an open-ended, story-based indie exploration game that has the protagonist Rania traverse the immense, sprawling verticality of Nivalis.
Rania has chosen an interesting evening for their first job at the semi-legal Cloudpunk delivery service: this is the night everything changes in Nivalis. Stripping away the combat and customisation mechanics present in 2077, Cloudpunk is a brilliant exercise in tone and aesthetics. The gorgeously rendered voxels of Nivalis are a joy to behold (even if, like me, you are an awful driver).
Cloudpunk establishes the scale of places like Nivalis and Night City by having you move by foot and hovercar across its towering heights. If you found yourself basking in Night City’s ambience on evening drives, Cloudpunk might be the game for you.

9. Ghostrunner 2
Developer: One More Level
Platform(s): PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch
Cloudpunk cuts back the combat and high-octane encounters present in games like 2077. Ghostrunner 2 does the opposite. Rather than being an exercise in atmosphere or slow reveals of visual splendour, Ghostrunner gives you the cybernetic-augmentation power fantasy only available to 2077’s highest level characters.
It feels amazing. You might have seen the terrifying Cyberpunk 2077 mantis blades in action throughout Cyberpunk 2077. In a similar vein, Ghostrunner 2 gives you a monomolecular katana - a blade of synthetic metal grafted to your very being - from the start. It's one-hit-kills throughout, meaning you're in a constant drive to kill or be killed in a neon-lit futuristic dystopia that blends Sekiro-level sword fighting with Night City's vibrant neon hues and parkour to present a game like Cyberpunk for all fans of first person slayage.

8. Citizen Sleeper
Developer: Jump Over The Age (Gareth Damian Martin)
Platform(s): PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5 Nintendo Switch
If you're looking for a game like Cyberpunk 2077 that almost feels like a sequel to the game's worst ending, you'll find it in Citizen Sleeper. Built by hand using pen and paper, Gareth Damian Martin's sci-fi indie riffs off TTRPG sensibilities to present a rich narrative point-and-click experience that has a lot in common with Cyberpunk's themes.
Skill trees and preset archetypes to craft your own build, corpo-owned synthetic human bodies implanted with human consciousness, a floating city divided by gang-like factions, and a main character whose life is a ticking time bomb... Sure, it's no first person action-shooter, but if the political and corporate intrigue of Cyberpunk had you grabbed by the throat, Citizen Sleeper will scratch that itch.

7. Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst
Developer: Dice
Platform(s): PC, Xbox One, PS4
2008’s Mirror’s Edge revolutionised momentum and travel in a first-person perspective. While its sequel is perhaps not as critically well regarded, it does allow its players unfettered access to Glass, a beautifully realised citadel of the future.
The parkour of Mirror’s Edge is brought straight into Catalyst, alongside a much more refined combat system which allows you to bring your refined free running abilities into the fray. This game contrasts Cyberpunk 2077’s vision of a seedy city of the future with clean, cutting lines of marble-white. The sense of verticality, brutality, and corruption, however, stays the same.

6. Fallout 4
Developer: Bethesda Game Studios
Platform(s): PC, Xbox One, PS4
“Fallout?” you cry, “but isn’t that the series with cities built on old-world nukes? Isn’t Bing Crosby on the soundtrack?” While you would be entirely correct on all those points, there are still reasons to recommend Fallout 4 to the Cyberpunk 2077 fan.
The game offers a vast selection of incredibly compelling side stories, witty environmental storytelling, and a great set of perk-based progression mechanics. This accompanies some stunningly vibrant environs like the patchwork steel Diamond City – all set against the meticulously drawn setting of apocalypse-future atompunk Boston.
Fallout 4 also features a central storyline focussing on Synths. These ideas of artificial intelligence and mechanised humanity are core themes of cyberpunk fiction and appear throughout 2077. Fallout 4’s gameplay, visuals, its focus on first-person action, and attempts at total tonal immersion resemble Cyberpunk 2077 more than you might expect.

5. Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition
Developer: United Front Games
Platform(s): PC, Xbox One, PS4
There is a reason that the aesthetic trappings of most cyberpunk media seem to be lifted from Hong Kong: in real life the city’s highest illuminated echelons bear imposing shadows down upon the neon-flecked city streets below.
While set in a more contemporary time, Sleeping Dogs traverses the city of Hong Kong as a complete open world. The action-oriented, open-ended design choices make it an easy recommendation to anyone interested in 2077’s gameplay, aesthetic trappings and high-octane exploration. Expect immersion into every nook and cranny of Hong Kong (you can even do karaoke) and a narratively evolving city, one built on the decisions you, the player, make.

4. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Developer: Eidos Montreal
Platform(s): PC, Xbox One, PS4
Any game like Cyberpunk 2077 owes its dues to the grandfather of cyberpunk video game RPGs: Deus Ex. Originally released in the year 2000, the game innovated in several areas – most notably in how it set problems, not solutions, and allowed players to choose exactly how they approached them.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is the most recent entry in this prestigious series. While not as innovative as its predecessor, it brings similar design sensibilities onto more contemporary hardware. As the cybernetically enhanced double agent Adam Jensen, you explore the bustling near-future city of Prague in a first-person action RPG that still respects the stealth game history of developer Eidos Montréal.
Deus Ex's Prague mirrors Night City in a way: filled with tiny illustrative side missions that really bring it to life. Like 2077, Mankind Divided received some criticism for its shorter story, but the attention paid to its setting and gameplay still left audiences enraptured.

3. Shadowrun: Hong Kong
Developer: Harebrained Schemes
Platform(s): PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch
If you are interested in further exploring the roleplaying elements of 2077, then look no further than this classic entry into the cyberpunk RPG genre. Cyberpunk 2077 and Shadowrun: Hong Kong share an incredibly similar DNA: the tabletop roleplaying games Shadowrun and Cyberpunk 2020. Released at the end of the 1980s, the rich lore developed in each TTRPG carries onto the respective video games.
Shadowrun: Hong Kong blends magic, mystery, and the mechanized mega-city of Hong Kong into an incredibly open isometric RPG. Like 2077, you run through a futuristic gig economy with jobs of increasing difficulty and complexity, making your mark in a Hong Kong that shifts and morphs around your actions. It has a strongly developed set of factions too, alongside a richly developed set of hacking and net-running mechanics reminiscent of 2077’s Voodoo Boys.
2. E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy
Developer: Streum On Studio
Platform(s): PC
Do you like Cyberpunk’s synthetically enhanced combat? Ever wanted to finish a katana duel, perform a 50-foot horizontal leap to the other side of the map and spawn 12 copies of yourself behind your next foe? Ever wondered what happens when a locked door hacks you back?
This where the list gets weird. E.Y.E Divine Cybermancy takes the action RPG element of 2077 and pushes it to its conceptual limits. This bizarre, intricate, and often overwhelming game is far from user friendly. Once you push past the steep learning curve, E.Y.E delivers a level of depth and customisation in an open-ended cyberpunk RPG-shooter. NPCs with detailed arcs and lore roam the game’s E.Y.E. Temple, their storylines evolving around you. This central hub blends traditional genre aesthetics with a theological spin that makes it stand out among its peers.
1. Watch Dogs: Legion
Developer: Ubisoft
Platform(s): PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5
The fate of neo-future London hangs in the balance of this open world, systems-led third person action-adventure title. Missions in Legion contain a consistent variety of solutions, ranging from all-out gunfights to high pressure stealth/hacking sections. While Cyberpunk 2077 has you meet a large cast of well-drawn NPCs on your quest as V, Watch Dogs: Legion has you literally walk in their shoes.
Normal people can be recruited into your cause at any point in the game, adding a potentially unlimited number of active layers to your solutions. There are real consequences at play here, though, as any normal person recruited can
(and often will) be killed in combat. When these people die, they stay dead, and cannot be reused. While Night City might morph and progress based on your roleplay choices, Legion uses its new, innovative mechanic to actively reshape London’s population based on how you play.
