What is Cyberpunk?
Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.
Cyberpunk characteristics include:
- Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
- Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
- Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
- Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
- Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.

I throw a few hi res textures on Morrowind and oblivion and play them through every couple of years. If the game is good, then it's good.
Kind of? Without the rose tinted glasses I find HL2 hard to play. HL1 even more so
I haven't tried to play hl1 again, but Morrowind is amazing and the modding community is amazing, I clock a good 200 hours every time, and I still went over a hundred thirty on a vanilla playthrough four years ago.
Just so I can say this as many times as possible since I'm still crazy about Morrowind, the modding community adds things in Morrowind like fantasy setting lamp posts between cities with ambient gradient light, high res night sky, or even just distance relative water sounds from rivers and waterfalls, small touches that make the entire game seem new.
