Though biopunk is not the primary setting, the bioshock series' plasmids and vigors cast enough of that genre in there for me, with Infinite being one of my favorite FPS games. If you don't wanna count that, well Resident Evil 4 is another favorite of mine, and an entire series of mutant virii and evil parasites turning people into organic weapons has got to count

- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I think Cruelty Squad counts as biopunk. It's really, really crusty biopunk, but still biopunk. I mean, you can get your appendix modified to work as a grappling hook, you can get holes drilled in your body that expel waste to either let you double/triple/quadruple jump or launch you forwards.
