TRON 2.0 remains the best game in the franchise, IMO. Still waiting for the series to get back to its immersive sim roots.

What is Cyberpunk?
Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.
Cyberpunk characteristics include:
- Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
- Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
- Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
- Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
- Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.

I haven't played that since it was new and remembering it is making me wanna play it again.
I totally agree. I loved how Tron 2.0 expanded the universe by going to the internet, a tape archive, a low-powered PDA, and making you fight against computer viruses. All awesome expansions of a world inside a computer.
I'm still bitter about how Tron: Legacy threw that all away and just turned it into a computer game Flynn wrote where now all the characters are simply NPCs rather than visual representations of programs and the only thing Flynn didn't explicitly create himself were the iso's...
