Beyond Sunset

Beyond Sunset is an impressive fusion of retro-inspired first-person shooter gameplay and modern role-playing mechanics that delivers an exciting cyberpunk adventure without losing sight of its old-school roots. Developed by Metacorp and Vaporware and published by Movie Games S.A., the game follows Lucy, a cybernetically enhanced mercenary struggling to recover fragments of her forgotten past while surviving the dangers of Sunset City. The premise provides enough mystery to drive the story forward, while the dystopian setting offers an engaging backdrop filled with crime syndicates, powerful corporations, and advanced technology that perfectly complements the game's fast-paced action. The world itself is one of Beyond Sunset's greatest achievements. Sunset City feels alive with towering neon-lit buildings, grimy back alleys, bustling districts, and futuristic architecture that successfully captures the atmosphere of classic cyberpunk fiction. Exploration is rewarded throughout the campaign, encouraging players to venture away from the main objective to uncover hidden locations, useful equipment, optional quests, and pieces of lore that deepen the game's narrative.

If someone was to create a demake of the OG Deus Ex, I expect it would play and feel a lot like Beyond Sunset. It feels like playing SNES and watching Blade Runner for the first time, at the same time. I love everything about it.

I wanted a temporary game while I was waiting to get a "probably better" game and I accidentally found another game for my all time favorites collection. PLEASE get this game and wait for it to click.

This game isn't perfect but the vibes are immaculate, and it brings a degree of friction missing from most new boomshoots. Looking at the reviews here, I feel like this game really doesn't get the love it deserves. If you like Blade Runner, boom shoots, and or Perfect Dark like I do, I think this game will really connect for you.

this game does not work on steam deck it refuses to launch.

Finished the game in 11 hours or so. The Good: - The basic gameplay loop is A LOT of fun. - The aesthetic is fun. - The craftsmanship is top notch. The Neutral: - Story mainly feels like an excuse for the environements. - Bosses can be a bit of challenge even on easy. - The cyberpunk aesthetic is super cool and certain gameplay elements feel Deus-Exy including some conversation choices and 'hacking', but this game is still very much Doom at its heart. Take that how you will. The not so good - Objectives aren't always as clearly marked as they should be. - Some of the environments are a little too confusing and involved. - Some GZDoom performance issues in large environments.
