>interesting depiction of future Prague
one major success of the franchise is its depiction of a future that feels genuinely forward oriented. I think they dubbed their art direction 'cyber renaissance' (HR in the remaster comes with a great developer narration) and it genuinely manages to seem novel.
There's also a lot of very smart world-building and writing in the ebooks scattered around the game. From tensions in Australia caused by wildfires and draughts to the antagonists backstory in MD featuring Ukrainian separatism in Belgorod it seemed eerily relevant at times having replayed it last summer.
