Does Overwatch, the Blizzard game, count as cyberpunk, or does cyberpunk require a darker aesthetic?

I only know cyberpunk through CDPR’s Cyberpunk 2077 game, and I guess also through the Blade Runner movies. So, I don’t really know much about it from literature or tabletop games.

That said, Overwatch has a lot of the same themes, but with a brighter “Sunday morning cartoon/anime” aesthetic.

So yeah, thoughts?

    I think it mostly looks futuristic, and not cyberpunk, what I consider cyberpunk look is more dirty, less utopistic and polished look. I tried to post image from Deus Ex Mankind Divided Golem City, but it didn’t work for some reason.

      Just post an external URL to it like i did, similar to old reddit

      It’s also more lightweight to the instances, I strictly only upload images I don’t want to rot on here
