Cyberpunk!
Cyberpunk is soooo much fun. I can't wait for the DLC. It got a bad rap when it launched, but at least when I played it (on PC about 6 months after launch), it was really great and didn't experience any major issues.
Though it should be noted for those unaware that it is a very dark and mature game. An NPC is violently raped off camera. That makes the game not for everyone's taste. Personally, I enjoy when games don't feel like they're avoiding subjects like that (which can feel jarring, since it's a real life concern) and it does add an extra level of emotion to the game. Plus of course, getting to have revenge.
Also some smaller indie games with a cyberpunk theme: Dex (sidscrolling action RPG with a great soundtrack! Although Dex has generally a linear main plot, there is a clear attempt to give you the ability to approach parts of the game different and make it feel more open) Cloudpunk (odd mix of open world and walking/driving simulator with focus on story, if that makes any sense? Despite the voxel graphics: the city has a great atmosphere. Great music at times. Some really interesting stories.
