What is Cyberpunk?
Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.
Cyberpunk characteristics include:
- Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
- Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
- Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
- Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
- Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.

I loved both for very different reasons. I loved the serious story of the first one and the flamboyant positivism of the second. I haven't played the latest, but I watched someone play the dlc and loved the closure of Aiden Pearce.
The latest is shit.
Not GOTY, but still enjoyable IMO.
I finished it, but the whole random npc to protagonist pipeline left it feeling too generic, especially when the first two games had strong central characters. Not likely a game I’ll bother replaying.
What I did was to wait at MI6 building at the start of the game to have a « full » spy (watch, suppress pistol and spy car) and pretend s/he was the protagonist
On the other hand, to me it felt like that the movement was more important than the individuals themselves.
