What parts of cyberpunk are fun that aren't fun because they are part of a game?

Johnny Mnemonic didn't seem much fun, maybe thrilling.

Cyberpunk 2077 was fun when you were doing ridiculous stuff while chopping your flesh to become a cyber-mechanical psycho.

Snowcrash was a world falling apart at the seams held together by the metaverse and corporations.

Cyberpunk futures just seem possibly good because it seems to be the one people see as happening as the rich assholes running everything right now saw all the bad things in the fiction as good for them.

You also get the good parts, but you miscalculated how cheap they would be to obtain and thought you were going to be the PC instead of Yet Another NPC.
