THE TOP 10 CYBERPUNK GAMES

There’s an innate joy to a good cyberpunk game; that sense of fighting The Man, of struggling up from the gutter in a world that doesn’t care, of being a rebel with a cause and, more importantly, some serious hardware. Sometimes it’s a depressing odyssey, other times, very tongue in cheek.

10 ANACHRONOX

RELEASED: 2001 | PUBLISHER: EIDOS INTERACTIVE | DEVELOPER: ION STORM
