8 Best Cyberpunk 2077 Replacement Games
Polygon presents a curated list of eight games recommended for players seeking experiences similar to Cyberpunk 2077. The article acknowledges CD Projekt Red’s 2020 game left a significant impression with its neon-drenched Night City setting, pervasive themes of corporate corruption, and protagonist V’s identity crisis narrative. However, the cyberpunk genre has a longer history than Cyberpunk 2077, and CD Projekt Red didn’t invent the aesthetic or themes. For players experiencing post-Cyberpunk withdrawal—particularly after The Witcher 3’s recent re-release—the article provides eight alternatives that either fully embrace cyberpunk aesthetics or share similar gameplay styles and atmospheres. The recommended titles vary in how closely they mirror Cyberpunk 2077’s experience, but all feature morally complex worlds populated by dysfunctional systems and morally questionable characters that create compelling dystopian narratives. The list begins with Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
