I have a soft spot for cyberpunk themed games, and one of the unexpected side-effects of this project is discovering how many cyberpunk-themed games that aren't *Cyberpunk 2077* I already own.

Satellite Reign is a cyberpunk-themed class-based real-time strategy game.

So far, at the point I'd reached in the game, part-way through what just may be a lengthy tutorial, there's not a lot to critique.

It's a nice, solid little game, and I'm part way through a rescue mission. It captures the dystopian cyberpunk aesthetic nicely, without feeling like a straight rip from Blade Runner, but does feel like it draws from that well, as well as Cyberpunk, and William Gibson.

I'd love to make this a long deep review, but I'm wrestling with fatigue today in a way that seems to have fried my ability to write.

I've given #SatelliteReign a fair chance, but I've reached the end of my tether. I'm supposed to break into Continental Haven but the place is surrounded by guards. My squad is too weak to win in a firefight, so I'm forced to stealth kill everyone outside. Except I can't tell exactly where anyone is looking and being spotted instantly alerts EVERYONE nearby. And restarting means a 5 min walk back to where I was.

Honestly, I'd much rather be playing Shadowrun
