Frozen Synapse 2 is worth a closer look if you want solo-friendly, tactical combat, cyberpunk, and exploration.
Best for players who want cyberpunk, emotional story, strong atmosphere, and solo-friendly.

cyberpunk
SettingThe game leans into neon, hacking, or corporate-dystopia texture.

FrictionThe first hours can be unclear without patience or outside help.
exploration
Play styleThe draw is moving through spaces, discovering details, and learning the world.
