A cyberpunk looter-shooter that feels like a love letter to Borderlands, with frenetic FPS combat and a customizable arsenal. Yet beneath the neon lights, frame drops lurk in the shadows, and the UI occasionally drags players out of the action.

What it's about: Hack greedy megacorps to help as many people as you can in a high-agility cyberpunk looter/shooter RPG. Explore neon cyberspace vistas and outmaneuver AIs to customize your hacker OS and weapon combos. Play solo or online co-op with up to 10 people!

Who is it for?

Fans de FPS dynamiques et de mondes cyberpunk peuplés de loot à collectionner. Ceux prêts à fermer les yeux sur quelques bugs pour s'immerger dans un univers coloré et personnalisable.

Is Black Ice worth it in 2026?

Yes — player reception is very positive: 95% of 674 Steam reviews are positive (player score 93/100). Most-praised strength: Combat fluid and addictive. Current price: 16,57€ (15% off).

Verdict

Black Ice séduit par son mélange explosif de combat et de customisation, porté par une identité visuelle forte. Malgré des problèmes techniques et une interface perfectible, la passion des joueurs transparaît — surtout ceux ayant dépassé les 25 heures. Un titre indie qui mérite d'être exploré, à condition d'accepter quelques imperfections.
