If dice is the only thing holding you back from Genesys there is the option to use one of the many dice roller apps. Not the same thing, but better than nothing.
Beyond that... It all depends on what kind of story you want to tell and how you want the game to play.
City of Mist (as also mentioned by @Shurf116@lemmy.ml )is a good option but you will have to rework its setting. As written the magic in CoM is hidden, and it has some sort of auto-hiding feature. Also the characters you play have some sort of legend awakened in them, or some myth. This legend is pulling the character towards avatarhood, becoming the legend and having it consume all their existence. Essentially game over. They are coming out with a cyberpunk edition of it that doesn't rely on awakened legends. Tokyo: Otherscape is what you then are looking for and may fit better.
If you want something darker there is Kult, but that too puts magic and such within the hidden realm. Urban shadows if you want more intrigue, but yet again magic is hidden (I think). Or as @rev@ihax0r.com is pointing you towards - super hero RPGs. But that is not my genre and cannot really give any recommendations.
