10 Video Games That Did Cyberpunk Better Than Cyberpunk 2077
3. Syndicate Wars
Global megacorps, AI board members, technological mind control, Syndicate wars ticks a lot boxes on the official ‘big list of things that are cyberpunk’. It’s a 1996 Bullfrog real time strategy game, and like most things Bullfrog did, it rules.
The story takes your squad of corporate hitmen from the corrupt streets of a dystopian metropolis to a battle for control of the actual moon. It has quantum gravity guns and orbital strikes and electron maces in it. Cyberpunk 2077 has a legendary-tier dildo.
In possibly the most meta-move ever, the game also features real-life advertisements for other cyberpunk games, like Judge Dredd and Ghost in the Shell. I honestly cannot even calculate how many levels of irony deep this is.
