What they all have in common is that they’re visions of a possible future packaged in a coherent aesthetic.

huh I didn’t think of it that way till now but that’s a pretty succinct definition of the genre!

Depends on the game, 10 is kinda post-apocalyptic tidalpunk, 7 and 8 are definitely dieselpunk and 9 is basically steampunk with magic.

totally fair and I’ll have to revisit this comment in between my breaks
thanks!🤗
