Mike Pondsmith made a bold move when he named his groundbreaking tabletop RPG after the subgenre it occupied. Cyberpunk isn't the first example of its tropes, but it remains one of the best. Cyberpunk 2077 elevated the concept through decades of new development and, after a shaky start, emerged as one of the fanbase's favorite outings. Though cyberpunk is a broad subgenre, its devotees recognize thousands of similar elements across its endless outings. A film like Nemesis, released four years after the first version of Cyberpunk, will find many familiar traits.
