Does anyone have recommendations for games where you play as a modern urban fantasy wizard? Like Mage: The Awakening or the Nasuverse or The Dresden Files, not Harry Potter.

Lego Harry Potter

... in seriousness Harry Potter is just a discount Isekai LARPing as a Modern Urban Fantasy.

Uh there's Tactical Breech Wizards?

Can recommend TBW. Actually does a semi-decent job of creating a Harry Potter as written by Tom Clancy setup and you quickly discover the best spell is "Yeet the Tango out the nearest window."

Will second Tactical Breach Wizards. Great writing and great world building, along with copious amounts of defenestration. Fun game.

More generally, for Urban Fantasy...well, there's Control, but that's less Dresden and more legally distinct SCP with psychic powers. Ghostwire Tokyo isn't bad, though that's mostly just blasting ghosts in a bit of Tokyo after spooky shit happened; there's not much variety in gameplay there. There's the Dishonored games as well, but those aren't a modern setting.

Ironically, Cyberpunk 2077 may be the closest thing gameplay wise given Netrunning is basically magic there, but that's really not what you meant, I think.

I'm planning on making an urban fantasy cyberpunk game.

But that won't be ready for like a decade from now so...

I need assistance in finding the video game that I am trying to find. Here is my question from before:

I am trying to remember/look for a video game where the player is given the option of choosing a mech to pilot but the character models are mostly female (there is only one male in game) and the game is pretty risqué but not full on nsfw. And the characters pilot their Mecha without the cockpit covering them. Does that sound familiar to anyone?

What was the gameplay like and what were the graphics like? Because just mecha doesn't really help when it comes to finding stuff like that. Was it some variety of strategy or was it more armored core style?
