Roleplaying takes center stage with these three games

Future punk

Cyberpunk 2077 is one of this year's most eagerly anticipated games, taking inspiration from “Blade Runner,” anime such as “Akira” and “Ghost in the Shell,” and Japan more generally, with katakana signs and katana swords featuring in the gameplay.

Part of a dystopian tabletop board game universe of the same name, Cyberpunk 2077 is set in a megalopolis called Night City and follows the exploits of a mercenary named V, who's searching for a unique implant that can lead to immortality. The game's developer, CD Projekt Red, is already known for its meaty roleplaying games like The Witcher III, and Cyberpunk 2077 is no exception. Players have the freedom to explore the open-world Night City, talk to other characters or engage in gunfights.
