It's not really fair to compare those two since Steampunk evolved. It was a stale setting that people realized lacked depth, and from it actually good settings like Dieselpunk and Atompunk were generated.

That being said Cyberpunk will always beat any other setting but will NEVER be properly done because there can't possibly be a game where you play in an open HUGE city with fucking multiple strats and 800 stores buildings. Only streamlined games like DE and SS2 manage to deliver due to them being able to show these things in the distance

Cyberpunk explores real themes about how the advancement of technology widens social gaps rather than erases them. Steampunk is escapist fantasy for fedora tipping manchildren who think whimsical devices which are not practical is the height of "aesthetics".

Cyberpunk all the way.

Now, there's one thing I'd like to see more of, and it's Dieselpunk, like FF7 and Wolfenstein TNO.

>>332554209
Dieselpunk is steampunk but more metal, oil and less steam. Usually themed in some sort of neo-WW2. The Blimps are there but they are metal. Mad Max has some Dieselpunk.

Fallout has some (SOME) atompunk things. Think about it as futuristic fifties but not in a shitty wasteland. Think Jetsons meet fifties

its just taking modern day society or even worse, retro 80's society, adding a few technological advances and arbitrary conventions and then doings some very basic extrapolations

Dissel, atom, and steampunk all revolve around aesthetics centered on a certain form of energy generation, either a combustion engine, nuclear power, or steam engine. It doesn't even make sense that they are derived from cyberpunk, because cyberpunk isn't about "cyber energy" it's about combining high tech with punk aesthetics and ideas.

Dragonfall improves on nearly every aspect of Returns. I enjoyed it a lot, and the writing was enjoyable. The setting is also less tread upon than Seattle, or any other US setting.
Hong kong, even though is an improvement missions-wise compared to Dragonfall (in my opinion, it reminded me more of the pnp), it's shorter, and the matrix parts are different.

Both are 15€ in Steam. If you feel that's too much, they often go on sales. I would recommend Dragonfall at least if you liked the style and setting of Returns, but didn't like the execution.

Japan's economy did unreasonably well in the years following the country's recovery from WWII.
A lot of influential people assumed it would keep growing, but then the bubble burst.

Yes, but the question is what aesthetic is cooler, not whether you agree with a hypercapitalistic world order where everyone is a pleb and the capitalists are basically their own state with a private army.

But apparently "nuance" is a word that is too difficulty for people like you to grasp.

Modern Cyberpunk is very close to Synthwave or Neo-80s.

Synthwave specifically refers to a genre of music but a lot of things that fit the Neo-80s look are called Synthwave too.
Blood Dragon and Hotline Miami are considered essential Synthwave aesthetic games. Moonbeam City is a Synthwave TV show, a lot of these are inspired by the 80s styling of things, and a lot of inspiration from the movie Drive, which brought Synthwave to a more mainstream view.

From the trailers and released images, Cyberpunk 2077 is actually looking pretty Synthwave.

This one game was fun, it was a simple flashgame about fighting planes called Steambirds

The story is that a scientist accidentally creates a stable fusion reactor in a time before electricity is widespread, the heat generated by the stable reactions allows high efficiency steam engines to operate with extreme power and sends the world into a steam based technological revolution.

While I do like cyberpunk more, I like the idea of Steampunk, and the aesthetic has its place when used correctly, but the actual potential of the concept has been entirely squandered as only fedora wearing memelords have really been interested in developing it, and nobody wants to get involved other than them for fear of being associated with said fedorators.
