Use a combination of hack and slash combat mixed with third-person shooting to finish off your enemies in this cyberpunk-esque world.

The game is $60 and rated Playable due to small in-game text and needing to change graphics settings to perform well.

Able to sneak past any guard, pick any lock, and break into the most ingeniously secured residences. Garrett steals from the wealthy and gives to himself, making his living in the dark and foreboding City.

The game is $9 and rated Playable due to showing non-Steam-Deck controller icons, not supporting the Deck's display resolution, and needing a community controller configuration.
