10 Games Similar to Cyberpunk 2077 That You'll Love

# 3 Dishonored

Dishonored is an action-adventure game, the story revolves around an assassin named Corvo Attano. It shares various similarities with Cyberpunk 2077 from its gameplay elements, themes, and stories. Let us go over them one by one.

Both Dishonored and Cyberpunk 2077 have stealth mechanics accompanied by extensive supporting systems like gadgets and ability boosts. While Cyberpunk 2077's V can use cyberwares and cybernetic enhancements, Corvo in Dishonored wields powers from the Outsider. Other similarities of both games are its non-linear storytelling, multiple-choice systems, story themes, and deep world-building. Both games also have complex characters and character development.

Some major differences that Dishonored has is its chaos system and Steampunk theme. The Chaos System is meant to measure your morality by tracking your actions in the game. Certain actions like excessive killing or sparing important characters influencing the main story plot points and the ending. Steampunk, a theme reminiscent of 19th-century technology, is what shapes the Dishonored's aesthetic and setting.

In addition, the lead project designer of Cyberpunk 2077, Miles Tost, mentioned that the Dishonored franchise is an inspiration for the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, which is something to look out for.

# 4 Fallout: New Vegas

Many gamers see Fallout: New Vegas as similar to Cyberpunk 2077. Although Cyberpunk 2077 doesn't take place in a post-apocalyptic world like Fallout: New Vegas, both games are open-world action adventures with RPG elements. They both explore themes like the collapse of society, corporate greed, and control, as well as moral gray situations. Plus, they offer similar RPG features such as multiple quest solutions, branching storylines, and choices that affect the game's outcome.

In addition, Fallout: New Vegas is also a well-known and acclaimed game on its own. It was seen as a good transition of the Fallout series from its old turn-based CRPG design in Fallout 1 and 2. It was also nominated for Best Story and Strategy during the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Games Award. Other games in the Fallout Series are also recommended to play.

# 5 The Outer Worlds

Some of these are the player choices, branching paths, perk system, and multiple endings. Like the Cyberpunk 2077 universe, the game is set in a sci-fi setting where corporate greed is very much rampant.

# 6 The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Another game categorized as a "Bethesda RPG," because it is actually made by Bethesda, is The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, or simply Skyrim. Skyrim is an open-world fantasy which tells the story of Dragonborn and fulfill their destiny. Despite the difference between Skyrim's high fantasy setting and Cyberpunk 2077's futuristic sci-fi setting, these two games have a lot in common.

To list all of them would be too many, so here are a few: extensive combat system, dialogue options, multiple factions, skill leveling mechanics, and immersive simulation design. Skyrim was also made by the same people who created Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas so this might be why there are similarities in all of these games.

# 7 Rage 2

Cyberpunk 2077 and the Rage Series have similar gameplay elements. Rage 2 is a first-person shooter and racing video game set in a post-apocalyptic setting very similar to Mad Max or the Borderlands Series.
