Have you tried Cloudpunk?
I have not! I was actually just eyeballing it in Steam the other day thinking about whether I'd want to buy it, so I think I'll take this as a recommendation
Cloudpunk has really nice atmosphere but is highly linear, almost to the point of belonging to the "walking simulator" genre. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but just don't go in expecting much in terms of gameplay.
Oddly enough I like walking simulators, even though Cyberpunk's linearity irked me. I think it's because I like my RPGs more nonlinear and with more freedom to decide how things go, but I'm fine with linear stories in games that don't try to sell themselves as something else
That's probably why I recommended it. I spent more time with it going around aimlessly, hamging out in places than actually following the story.
I just want a Blade Runner sim so badly...
Right‽ I just started playing Cloudpunk and I've really liked it so far, and I had this exact thought. Cloudpunk is close and it's great fun, but I would commit light treason if it meant getting a (good…) 1st person Blade Runner game on the market
edit: oh and thank you for the tip, it's exactly what I was looking for
Absolutely a recommendation. It's extremely atmospheric. If you've ever wanted "drive" around in Blade Runner's world, Cloudpunk is about as close as you're going to get in terms of feel.
