hey there..i always get back to this fantastic game (Gemini Rue)
gives me the chill and Blade Runner vibes..its really hard to find similar games
i mean (atmosphere,sci fi or cyberpunk, puzzles)

i need somthing similar ..not long boring dialogs text
Technobabylon (also published by Wadjeteye) also features a kind of cyberpunk setting.
It's not totally comparable to Gemini Rue though, e.g. puzzles are somewhat more complex, so not sure if you'll like it. But it's a good game imo.
Have you played the actual Blade Runner adventure game? It's pretty good.

It's not available digitally as far as I'm aware though, so you'll need to do some hunting.
Well, you've got Beneath a Steel Sky for free here on GOG, so that might be a good place to start.

That's a really horrible game imo, with lots of illogical puzzles. I don't understand why it's considered a classic by some.
But at least it's free on Gog.
Gemini Rue has an excellent story. If you want similar great adventure stories with problem solving I'd go for Broken Sword (first one), Gabriel Knight (first-remastered and second) and Cognition An Erica Reed Thriller (I might have spelt that wrong). They all have great stories and twists but are quite different in eras to Gemini Rue

I agree Technobabylon and Blade Runner or more in line with the setting and both are great games and stories.

And there are many great stories and experiences that have been created that you may love but it totally depends on your tastes
Maybe go for Primordia for a cyberpunk theme. Same publisher, too.

Isn't Primordia more of a post-apocalyptic setting though? It's a game about robots after the extinction of humanity after all...
Great game though, definitely recommended.
Don't listen to that morolf guy. Beneath A Steel Sky is an amazing game and you already have it in your account. I was surprised such a great game is not sold anymore.
BASS is great.
I have both Gemini Rue and Technobabylon, but haven't played either yet. Beneath a Steel Sky is classic, need to replay that one sometime here, last time was probably a good 20 years ago.
Primordia is one of my all time favorite point and clicks though. I don't know, there is just something about it that speaks to me. Maybe I just want to be a robot super bad.

I honestly thought it was one of the worst games I've ever played through (yes, I did finish it, though I had to use a walkthrough for some sections). It baffles me that so many people regard it as a classic...I found the puzzles illogical, and the setting/story wasn't interesting either.
It's typical of the mass of 90s adventure games...which tbh mostly weren't any good.
But since it's free op can of course see for himself/herself.

Snatcher. A Hideo Kojima game.
I see that you are not looking for visual novels but you should give it a try sometime. Amazing videogame. At least enjoy the OST

Out of curiosity, what do you consider to be one of the best you've ever played?

I'll limit myself to adventures since this is the relevant genre here:
From the 90s classics, I think Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis has held up pretty well, a pretty great game with mostly logical puzzles.
Personally I find some of the other Lucasarts classics overrated (e.g. Monkey Island 2 is pretty tedious imo; I like the first game though). Broken sword is also overrated imo.
I've probably missed many of the other adventure game classics...I did play the remake of the first Gabriel Knight game though...I mostly liked it (despite some problematic puzzles).
But in my view many of those 90s adventure games just have severe design flaws, with painfully illogical puzzles. Beneath a steel sky is a really egregious offender here imo, definitely not equal in quality to the major Lucasarts games.
I like many of Wadjeteye's games which in my opinion have improved on the genre's formula and provide challenging puzzles (I'm thinking especially of Primordia, Resonance and Technobabylon). On the other hand, I have to admit I find most of the stuff actually created by Dave Gilbert himself (The Shivah, Blackwell games, Unavowed) rather meh...those games are actually too easy and in risk of turning into walking simulators or visual novels.
