I've had an urge to play something cyberpunk themed lately, but I'm not really sure what to play. I'm open to games of any genre, any suggestions?

Besides Deus Ex, obviously. I've got my eye on that one.

Kill to collect:

The OST by Tokyo Rose is dope.

Downside: devs abandoned the game... Oh wait, they updated the game on june 14 (More than 1 year for an update).

Despite some imagine Cyberpunk as something solid and similar to Shadowrun with feeling of Bladerunner or GITS (like person commented that Tron is not a CP), it is an aesthetics which can be borrowed to many genres and usually is characterized by broad incorporation of technology in daily lives. Even retrofuturistic side-scroller where you control an attack ship can be clearly cyberpunk, and especially if characters talking between scenes are cyborgs and backgrounds are filled with huge computers. Some of modern branches of CP are games about AIs and future filled with robots.

Without mentioning everything famous and already pointed out, 2064: Read Only Memories is a CP visual novel, PsychoPass

Then there are millions of Sci-fi games, hacking-related, futuristic and so on, jointly related to Cyberpunk setting in almost every genre.
Watch Dogs series, ECHO, ICEY, Axiom Verge plenty of side-scrollers and platformers, especially among old and old-style games and for old consoles (Shadowrun for SNES!), number of quests.. Plenty of RPGs on the edge of CP and post-apocalypse including some entries as Underrail, Fallout, Septerra core and some of FF, KraiMira, Restricted Area etc. And a whole direction of games happening in some acidic virtual realities (Superhot, Furi, Frozen Synapse, a lot of hacking-related...)
There are a lot of old Russian cyberpunk and sci-fi games, but besides mentioned above Paradise cracked and The power of Law I can't recall.

Frontmission series for SNES and PS1 are among my favorite related and there are so many great games which probably will not be officially distributed for PC. Then //hack series, Ghost in the Shell, Megazone 23 and generally a lot of Mecha, Macross series; even some games from Metal Gear series. Japanese have been doing cyberpunk stuff for decades..
Then cyberpunk anime, movies.. argh! Just have been in this for so long <3

Haven't actually played more than a few hours of the first (very old, and it shows) one, but the Tex Murphy series hasn't been mentioned yet. And linky for the newer one, Tesla Effect as well.

Great thread! :)

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! Dex and Shadowrun look interesting, and I picked up Remember Me as well. I have a feeling my itch is going to be scratched quite a bit now.
