Steampunk Games

Ok, so I only really know of 1 game that really has steampunk aspects, Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura. Are there any others? It seems that such an imaginative setting seems to be highly overlooked

Bioshock?

Bioshock isn't steampunk, though many people are likely to post it (ok maybe the geothermal plant part because it actually has some steam but everything else is just 40s/50s art deco). In truth, there aren't many steampunk-themed games. You've already named the big one, Arcanum. Other than that, there is this indie game that's totally steampunk but I can't remember the fucking name man this is killing me. Someone will know though. Everything else is really a X-genre with steampunk elements. The Thief series is a Victorian stealth game with steampunk elements. Morrowind is a fantasy rpg with steampunk elements in certain dungeons. It really is an underutilized setting.

Someone needs to make an Arcanum sequel, Iv'e said it before and I'll say it again :<

Syberia
Martian Dreams
Dark Chronicle
Machinarium

Although these are more on theme than hardcore steampunk stuff. Myst in many ways also counts.

Not yet mentioned:

The Chaos Engine (anyone else remember that one?).
Skies of Arcadia
Thief II The Metal Age
The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom

arguably American McGee's Alice?

Ah Chaos Engine I was going to put that own but all in all I don't think it is very steampunk, at least in terms of gameplay.

Much like I would want to put Resonance Of Fate which claims to be a steampunk setting on the box. But it isn't really. Although it is still a great game.

Steambot chronicles for PS2

This game was amazing in every way, awesome storyline, fun to play, giant custom robots, and so underrated.

Seriously, at least youtube search for some gameplay, this game shaped a large chunk of my youth.

I STILL play Arcanum...but yeah, nothing else really comes to mind. Maybe Nox?

Dwarfs and gnomes use steam technology in Warcraft 3 and WoW.

Wild Arms, anyone? The whole series. I think there were 5?
