What are the best solarpunk games these days – and how do they capture the spirit of solarpunk? Here’s an opinion:

The planet is on fire. Rising sea levels, melting ice caps, droughts, and more frequent hurricanes and tornadoes constantly make the headlines. Some artists have responded by creating works about a bleak, post-apocalyptic future. Others, though, create more hopeful works, which depict humanity using technology as a solution to the climate emergency. 

This is what the solarpunk movement imagines; a world where humanity successfully lives in balance with the natural world, and seeks sustainability. Video games have captured visions of what a solarpunk world could look like. These solarpunk games each have their own artistic visions, but they all share a common theme of optimism for the future.

That’s the attraction of the SolarPunk video game!
