Blade Runner
released on Nov 14, 1997
Blade Runner is an adventure game with an emphasis on detective work rather than on puzzles. There are very few "real" puzzles in the game, and the gameplay mainly consists of questioning suspects, gathering evidence, etc. There are also some action sequences, and throughout the game the protagonist has the ability to use his gun. The player's decisions can (and will) influence the outcome of the story, bringing the game to one of the six possible endings.

Pretty good at capturing the style of the original film but i can not be bothered completing this
love this movie so much! i played this game on pc before i saw it as a kid and couldnt figure out what to do when you make it to the market stall. i tried it again a couple years ago and i was stuck at the same part im p sure i need to go to the screen and target stuff but like what to click on idk.
I loved all the homages to the movie, the beautiful, pixilated, cyberpunk art design, and the hilarious dialogue. The moody environments, combined with a soundtrack that incorporates songs from the movie, really pull you into the blade runner universe. Rainy, neon streets, dingy cop offices, weird ass sewers with giant rats and fucked up sewer people -- just a delight walking through this game. And the storyline is engaging enough to keep you interested. Though, it's not perfect. I mean it's glitchy as fuck and completely unplayable at times. I nearly gave up on this game, but I'm glad I stuck through it. This is definitely a hidden gem, and as a blade runner fan, it scratched that cyberpunk itch perfectly.
What does Ryan Gosling have to do with this?
A great companion piece to the movie, fantastic story, lots of interesting 'choices-that-matter', very evocative art design and music. Shame that the open world sometimes hampers gameplay - it can be unclear where to go and what to do next sometimes, and this is frustrating.
