cyberpunk city

Digital urban nightmare

A cyberpunk city is an urban landscape characterized by high technology and social decay—neon-lit towers alongside grimy streets, megacorporations looming over desperate masses.

The term evokes rain-slicked pavement, holographic advertisements, and stark inequality: The game's cyberpunk city felt oppressively beautiful.

It's the visual vocabulary of a dystopian future where advanced tech coexists with human misery.
