Hassle 1977

Hassle 1977 is set in a retrowave, Soviet cyberpunk version of the Baltic City. You join Free Breath, a resistance force opposing mandatory brain chips introduced by Intellectual Immensity Corp. (IIC) to identify citizens and enable the use of new technologies. Gangs form to defend their freedom and resist IIC’s attempt to take control of the human mind, while some cities have been quarantined.

You can move between PvP shootouts, PvE missions, street races and drift races. The game also has a free-roam city to explore, with other rebels and citizens in its streets.
