I would say no, none of the themes of cyberpunk are really there and aesthetic is also very far off

There's the lijiang tower map that has some really cool aesthetics, I'd say kinda cyberpunkysh:
I think it mostly looks futuristic, and not cyberpunk, what I consider cyberpunk look is more dirty, less utopistic and polished look. I tried to post image from Deus Ex Mankind Divided Golem City, but it didn't work for some reason.
Just post an external URL to it like i did, similar to old reddit
It's also more lightweight to the instances, I strictly only upload images I don't want to rot on here
I would say... sort of? It's much more comic book superhero shit with some very loose nods to cyberpunk (a la the robot stuff). What I think it lacks is anything more than a surface level social commentary or any real analysis of how technological advancement intersects with capital accumulation to create a dystopia. It's more about capeshit with a thin premise of "DAE robot rights?" without really even exploring that subject on a meaningful or philosophical level.
Contrast that with, for example, the recently revitalized Armored Core franchise. That is Cyberpunk.
