** [[PlayerCharacter V]] has cybernetic forearms from the start, which house a retractable cable that allows them to connect to computers and terminals, and a grip that allows them to read things like magazine capacity of their guns. With time, the player can unlock more combat-oriented implants like the [[BladeBelowTheShoulder mantis blades]].
** [[{{Deuteragonist}} Johnny Silverhand]] has his iconic, well, silver hand, from which he takes his stagename from. It's worth noting that this is one of the few times where a character has actually lost their limb, with Johnny losing his flesh hand during the war. It doesn't have any offensive capabilities and seems to function like a regular hand.
** [[ByTheBookCop River Ward]] has a prosthetic right palm. It's relatively crude and simple, and seems to be a normal prosthetic.
** [[ShellShockedVeteran Mitch]] has a simple prosthetic left arm. Like Johnny, he's also a veteran and lost his limb during the war, though a different one than the one Johnny fought in.
** [[DirtyCoward Dexter deShawn]] has a [[ConspicuousConsumption gold-plated]] right arm.
** Many [=NPCs=] in the overworld can spawn with cybernetic arms and/or legs.
* In ''VideoGame/DeusEx'', the protagonist JC Denton is an aversion -- his limbs are all human, and his augmentations consist of nano-scale robots that have merged with his physical body on the cellular level, creating the first true fusion of man and machine. Denton's brother Paul, Walter Simons and Robert Page are similarly augmented. However, traditional mechanical implants are around (though on their way to obsolesence, much to the dismay of the people who opted for them), most prominently in UNATCO agents Anna Nevarre and Gunther Hermann. [[spoiler: Conveniently, both Nevarre and Hermann are installed with a killphrase which, when said, causes them to violently explode.]]
** Fan-made prequel and GameMod ''[[VideoGame/TwentyTwentySeven 2027]]'' features these, as nanoaugmentation is still on the drawing boards. In terms of gameplay, they still function like nano augs in the original game, except augs like the leg prosthesis make a whirring sound when used.
* Adam Jensen, the protagonist of ''VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution'' gets both of his arms replaced with advanced prosthetics, and most of his body "enhanced" with cybernetic implants, after surviving an attack on a corporate research facility by a group of anti-bionics extremists. All the augments are present from the beginning of the game but Adam must learn to use them by earning experience and spending "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praxis_(process) Praxis]] Points". This allows the player to unlock various enhancements, including [[BladeBelowTheShoulder retractable blades]], super jumping skills, pheromones and [[InvisibilityCloak Optical Camouflage]].
** One of the antagonists, [[ShoutOut a mercenary]] [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII named Barrett,]] has [[ArmCannon a minigun built into one of his cyberarms.]]
** Artificial arms are the rage in 2027, it seems -- Jensen's boss David Sarif and Tong Si Hung, a Shanghai bartender/mafioso, sport them too.
** They are handled in a slightly more realistic way, especially regarding the super-strength aspect. While Jensen can punch through walls and do some serious damage with his prosthetics, its not as over-the-top as some other examples. Also, if you look at his chest when he's shirtless (best seen in the Missing Link DLC) you can see there's a support bar crossing his torso under his skin, linking both arms together, to prevent them tearing out. Plus every other person that has augmentations has to take a daily dose of a certain immunosuppressant to prevent a violent rejection of the augs.
* In ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'', a villain rips off and steals Nero's demonic right arm, Devil Bringer. Nico builds him mechanical arms called Devil Breakers, which can emulate most of the Devil Bringer's techniques and use a few extra like a RocketPunch attack. However, Devil Breakers will break if Nero is attacked while using them or if he uses a ChargedAttack with them though fortunately he can find or buy replacements.
* ''VideoGame/EldenRing'': Malenia's right arm is prosthetic. Her left leg and half her right leg are also prosthetic.
* Can happen to the PC in the ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' DLC Old World Blues; albeit with your brain, heart and spine and replaced with Tesla coils, an artificial heart/filter and a synthetic spine. How you are able to function with your brain missing ([[ItMakesSenseInContext and have a conversation with it]]) is never explained, though it is all but stated that all the Think Tank have no idea what they're doing anymore and haven't for over a century and a half. The whole point of the DLC is to get your brain back which was misplaced by the Think Tank, though you can opt to keep your artificial brain if you want to, you just get different bonuses than if you get your brain reinstalled.
** In a piece of DummiedOut content in the first ''[[VideoGame/{{Fallout}} Fallout]]'' there was a gang leader called Tangler who had a robotic arm. You were hired to kill him and tear it off from his corpse as proof you had done the deed.
** ''VideoGame/Fallout4'' ''kind of'' plays on this trope with the Brotherhood of Steel Proctor Ingram, who lost both of her legs to Super Mutants. While she doesn't have any true prosthetics to replace them, ''Fallout 4'' was the first game to treat PowerArmor as a [[AMechByAnyOtherName vehicle]] rather than a suit of armor that you would equip from your inventory, so Ingram is always seen in a power armor frame to allow her to get around.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'': Barret Wallace lost his arm to multiple bullet wounds. Later, his original artificial arm was replaced by a machine gun, and later upgraded in the ''Advent Children'' spinoff movie with the ability to morph into a (relatively) normal looking hand.
* The ''VideoGame/{{Ghostrunner}}'''s left arm is replaced by a crude mechanical version after the original was ripped off by Mara. Zoe also mentions having a limb implant, though given her status as a VoiceWithAnInternetConnection, we never actually see it in-game.
* ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'': One of Balurga's hands got bitten off by one of the gang's war beasts when she was proving herself worthy of joining them. They replaced it by a clawed ArmCannon.
* Wendy Cooke has a wooden prosthetic arm in ''VideoGame/GrowingUp'' but is conscious of it because bullies call her "Captain Hook" for it. However, she's inspired by it to make horror movie makeup and special effects.
* ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'': Dr. Eli Vance has an artificial right leg, although it is crude and amounts to a curved, springy metal strip. His original leg was eaten by an alien animal. Eli Vance's leg [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:USMC-07775.jpg is]] TruthInTelevision, although the springy metal strip type is usually used by [[http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/aimee_mullins_on_running.html athletes]], because it's hard to stand still on one. On the other hand, not only would the Seven Hour War have limited his choices for a replacement, but one that allows the user to run would be very useful for a rebel.
%%** And then there's all the fun things the Combine do to biological lifeforms...
* ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'':
** ''VideoGame/HaloReach'': Kat has a mechanical right arm. Which is a bit odd in that there seems to be no other reason to put it into a much thinner and more skeletal casing than the other arm of the body armor, but to make it obviously visible.
** The expanded universe has a lot more characters with robot limbs, like [[Literature/HaloContactHarvest Captain Ponder]], [[Literature/HaloTheColeProtocol Eddie Underwood]], and an officer overseeing the SPARTAN-III Alpha Company's augmentation procedure named [[Literature/HaloGhostsOfOnyx De Guzman]]. Ponder and Eddie have artificial arms like Kat, while De Guzman has a synthetic left leg. ''Literature/HaloTheFallOfReach'' also depicted Spartan-[=II=] James-005 lose his lower left arm to a Hunter's assault cannon, which is replaced with one of these before the Spartan is sent back into the field.
** ''VideoGame/HaloInfinite'': Escharum's [[TheDragon Dragon]], Blademaster Jega 'Rdomnai, is an Elite with a prosthetic left arm. The lore around the character says he was part of a special team who was maimed in combat. The Covenant was anti-prosthetic and fellow Elites felt he had lost his honour, but he instead found himself allying with the Banished, whose entire premise was rejecting the needless dogma of the Covenant.
* ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'':
** In the first game, Darth Malak lost his mandible courtesy of a duel with Revan, requiring the use of an artificial ''jaw'' and vocabulator.
** ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'': Bao-Dur has an artificial arm he designed and built himself. He tries to joke about it, but turns out it's a "souvenir" from the horrors of Malachor V. It has the ability to disable force fields, but somehow restricts the kinds of armor he can wear.
* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyroDawnOfTheDragon'': During the siege of Warfang, the golem replaces the arm it loses earlier in the game by magically grafting rubble from the city in its place, which assembles itself into a new, fully functional limb.
* ''VideoGame/{{Madworld}}'': Jack has a mechanical arm. [[RuleOfCool With a built-in]] [[ChainsawGood chainsaw.]]
* ''Franchise/MassEffect'': While never mentioned in-universe, a Geth arm was grafted onto Saren's body to replace his left arm.
** In ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', it's mentioned that the means in which Shepard was [[WeCanRebuildHim resurrected]] was "bio-synthetic fusion", meaning most of their body was artificially created in some fashion or another. In addition to a reinforced skeletal structure and cybernetic implants, it's implied that their eyes and skin were replaced using cloned grafts.
* ''VideoGame/Medievil2'': Professor Hamilton Kift has a pair of mechanical hands. Reading his journal late in the game reveals he was forced to replace his flesh-and-blood hands after they were badly mangled during an expedition [[spoiler:to find Zarok's legendary spellbook alongside [[BigBad Palethorn]]]].
* ''VideoGame/MegaManLegends2'': Joe has a Reaverbot arm, mostly longer than his natural arm. In fact, this seems rather common in the Legends era. The only major male character who doesn't seem to have mechanical prosthesis, at one time or another, is Werner von Bluecher.
* ''VideoGame/MetalGear'':
** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots'': [[spoiler:Ocelot]]'s artificial arm doesn't provide absurd amounts of SuperStrength, but it still ''really hurts'' when he manages to punch you with it. Total-conversion cyborgs such as Grey Fox and [[spoiler:Raiden]] do have inhuman strength and reflexes, as well as ImplausibleFencingPowers.
** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty'': Peter Stillman has an artificial leg, after his original one was blown off when he failed to defuse a bomb in a church. [[spoiler:Though he ends up being a subversion. In reality, he panicked and fled mid-defusal, leaving the bomb to detonate and kill some nearby kids. He faked having failed to defuse the bomb and lost a limb from the resulting explosion to garner sympathy because he couldn't bear to face the families of the real victims.]]
** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain'': Big Boss gets a few after losing his left arm. Initially, he has a HookHand, but is given a more advanced Bionic Arm by Ocelot, complete with full set of digits and wrist articulation. The arm can be swapped out for different models, such as an electrical stun arm, a remote controlled non-lethal or explosive arm, or a WISP arm that can teleport distant enemies to him.
** ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'': "Jetstream" Sam Rodrigues has a cybernetic arm to replace the one he lost fighting [[spoiler:Armstrong]]. The fact that this was his only cybernetic replacement makes him being able to best Raiden in their first fight and still match his upgraded body in their second one all the more impressive.
* ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime3Corruption'': The cyborg Ghor only has 6% of his original body left, having replaced most of it with mechanical appendages. He displays a bit of CyberneticsEatYourSoul -- his personality changes from a fairly gentle and intelligent demeanor (it's noted that he will work for free or give bounty money to the victims of those he hunts) to aggressive and violent when he merges with his [[MiniMecha armorsuit]], though he maintains control of himself as seen on Norion (where the player sees him both in and out of his suit -- out of the suit, he calmly informs Samus of a tactical decision, while in the suit he starts shouting at her to get a move on to the objective while brandishing weapons). Justified in that the suit could be designed to alter his personality to make him more aggressive, as it's noted in his scan entry that he isn't a proficient fighter without it. However, [[spoiler:after his corruption, he does get a terminal case of straight CyberneticsEatYourSoul as seen when, without his suit, he gloats and causes some destruction to hinder Samus but is easily fended off (and even makes a remark while retreating that could show he's not yet fully corrupted), but in his suit he goes full-on berserker, going as far as to throw Samus' gunship at her.]]
* ''Franchise/MortalKombat'':
** Major Jackson Briggs a.k.a. "Jax" has ''bionic implants'' covering his arms that give him enhanced strength. Unlike most cybernetic arms, these can be removed, and he retains his natural arms underneath.
** ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9'': In the ContinuityReboot, Jax's arms are brutally removed by Ermac and replaced with cybernetic implants, making them 100% artificial arms.
* ''VideoGame/NiNoKuniIIRevenantKingdom'': Bracken has an artificial leg.
* In ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'', Holly Summers has an artificial leg. In addition, Shinobu gets a mechanical replacement for the hand Travis chops off at the end of her fight with him.
** In Japan, due to {{Bowdlerization}}, Shinobu doesn't get her hand cut off at the end of the fight, which led to some confusion about whether or not her losing the hand was canon. This was settled in ''Desperate Struggle'', which confirmed she has a mechanical hand.
** In III, ''both'' her arms are ripped off and have to be replaced.
* The sligs in the ''Videogame/{{Oddworld}}'' series use mechanical "pants", which come in two forms: a pair of cybernetic legs or a helicopter backpack with a built in grenade launcher. Interesting for this trope, they're not actually fused to the user's body; they're mass produced for the slig species to compensate for the fact that they didn't evolve legs, and operate like the lower half of a suit of PowerArmor.
* ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' has several characters with artificial limbs of varying quality. Junkrat has a mechanical peg-leg and a mechanical hand (not surprising, considering [[MadBomber his fondness for explosives]] and lack of any safety awareness), Cassidy/[=McCree=] and Symmetra both have a relatively nice looking mechanical arm while Torbjörn has a weird claw thing replacing the lower part of his arm. Genji is a full {{Cyborg}} with all of his limbs being mechanical (his Blackwatch skin has the left arm as flesh but the normal skin has it mechanical). Doomfist's right arm is a cybernetic limb that he uses to wield his PowerFist, but is also strong enough by itself to smash through concrete.
* The "Artificial Organs" scenario in ''VideoGame/PlagueInc'' places you in a world where artificial organs are cheap and reliable, so you have to pit your plague against a humanity that can survive otherwise deadly symptoms like ''total organ failure'', as they search for a cure. [[spoiler: If you evolve the Insanity symptom, then you'll get treated to the [[SarcasmMode lovely]] news that people are ripping their own artificial organs in bouts of madness, leading to messy and quick deaths]].
* ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'' has [[DepravedDentist Dr. Loboto]], who has a clawed hand with a pepper grinder built in.
* ''VideoGame/QuantumReplica'': [[PlayerCharacter Alpha]] appears to have a prosthetic in place of his left arm.
* ''VideoGame/Raid2020'': Shadow lost his right arm some time before the game which has been replaced by a robotic arm with an integrated mini-computer.
* ''VideoGame/{{Rimworld}}'' has artificial limbs ranging from simple peg legs to bionic limbs and eyes that perform better than their biological counterparts. Characters with the "Transhumanist" trait want to be cybernetically enhanced and get a mood bonus if they have an artificial body part; conversely, Body Purists consider bionics unethical and get a permanent mood penalty if they have any artificial parts.
* In ''VideoGame/SekiroShadowsDieTwice'' Wolf has his left arm cut off at the beginning of the game and has a bone prosthetic attached to the stump that functions exactly as the lost limb and also has a grappling hook and a variety of shinobi tools installed in it, such as a flamethrower, a spring-loaded spear and so on.
* In ''VideoGame/SlySpy'', the boss of the third level is a GiantMook with two metal arms.
* Yoshimitsu from ''VideoGame/SoulCalibur'' is a bizarre case, as he lives in the late 16th century. His missing arm is replaced by a strange wooden contraption, which still serves him well enough to sword fight with the best of them (and in a few of his moves, he visibly grabs and moves the replacement's wrist with his good hand). His 20th-century counterpart from ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' may or may not have a mechanical arm; it's hard to tell in most of his costumes (PROTIP: one hand is usually spinning at the wrist).
** In the ''Soul Calibur IV'' Character Creation, it's seen that his left arm, face and both legs are also prosthetic, making him a possible ManInTheMachine.
* ''VideoGame/SpaceSiege'': As you play security officer Seth Reynolds, you have the option during the game to upgrade yourself with cybernetics. This also enables the option to use heavier weapons. [[spoiler:In the end you have the option to go with the ship AI ‘’Pilot’’ and turn all into cyborgs or kill the AI]]
* The Grox of ''VideoGame/{{Spore}}''. Being an AffectionateParody of [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration the Borg]], the entire species has replaced their right arms, legs, and eyes with cyborg equivalents.
* In ''VideoGame/StarSweep'' Dr. J has a robotic arm, in contrast with the fantasy aesthetic everything else has.
* ''VideoGame/{{Starcraft}}'': When General Warfield has to have his right arm amputated after being poisoned by a Hydralisk, he returns with a sweet mechanical prosthetic that [[ArmCannon changes into a cannon.]]
** Swann also has one, from when he lost an arm when he and his miners rebelled against the Kel-Morian Combine.
* The pilots of the ''Videogame/StarFox'' universe [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-r0oKdhp4ENs/UC6GKyqvpXI/AAAAAAAABK8/uaSpSU2Q58k/s1600/robot+legs.jpg have]] [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/starfox/images/7/7e/Star_Fox_Nintendo_Power.png/revision/latest?cb=20120211162252 prosthetic]] [[http://amiiboplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Ssbm_fox_render_by_machriderz-d56n3ki.png legs]] [[http://geekmelee.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Title-Photo.png replacing]] [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/ssb/images/6/6d/Fox_(SF643D).png/revision/latest?cb=20140912071720 their]] [[http://65.media.tumblr.com/a224d06a8948c45c3dea4973dac2a050/tumblr_nw0f0xF4TS1rkrwaco4_1280.jpg normal]] [[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/starfox/images/4/44/Andrew.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20080227063016 ones]]. For years fans have created theories as to their purpose, ranging from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6Np3_ZLOH8 augmenting the pilots for field work,]] to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aX-pGlStTZw move]] [[https://youtu.be/ncImCSfwZZE?t=34 faster,]] to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rk78nrxHqvc helping the pilots deal with extreme G-Forces.]] Years later, [[WordOfGod creator Miyamoto]] finally confirmed why the Star Fox team were depicted with metal legs: it was an attempt to make his {{Funny Animal}}s [[https://youtu.be/1z6a8Oswk1s?t=429 appear more human to the player]] and [[RuleOfCool look cool.]]
* Subverted: Raidies F. von Branstein of ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' fame has a prosthetic hand. It apparently doesn't look realistic despite its functionality, so he wears a glove over it. He also never shows any kind of increased strength or anything. In fact, he likes to pretend it doesn't exist...
* The Agents in ''VideoGame/{{Syndicate}}'' are kidnapped humans that undergo a conversion process by the Syndicate organizations, starting with the implantation of a mind control chip. As you earn money you can upgrade their bodies with cybernetic parts. By the end of the game, each agent is practically a full-conversion cyborg, able to carry several miniguns and a rocket launcher or two.
* [[PsychoForHire Zagi]] from ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'' gets a laser-shooting blastia arm after losing the use of his left arm from the second fight he has against the party. It's begun to have some [[VoiceOfTheLegion unsettling effects]] on him by the time he confronts the party for the last time, due to him misusing it.
* The Gunslinger, one of the weapons for the Engineer in ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'', is a mechanical hand designed by his grandfather Radigan. It was implied in the official blog that the Engineer willingly sawed off his original right hand to accommodate the replacement, though some theories exist that the hand under the glove was always artificial.
* Garrett in ''VideoGame/{{Thief}}'' has his [[EyeScream eye plucked out partway through the first game]]. In the epilogue, it's shown that he's gotten a mechanical replacement, which he keeps for the rest of the series. It grants him a few neat tricks like telescopic vision and (very limited) remote camera input. The second game reveals that the eye was given to him by the Hammerites, perhaps out of gratitude for his actions at the end of the first game.
* Wild Dog of ''VideoGame/TimeCrisis'' gets one with a built-in chain gun after his defeat in the first game.
* In ''Franchise/TouhouProject'', [[Manga/TouhouIbarakasenWildAndHornedHermit Kasen]] appears to have a magical prosthetic arm. Normally she wraps it in bandages and claims it's scarred from an old injury, but there isn't anything but smoke underneath the bandages, and she can detach it and control it remotely (when she thinks no one is looking). She's been given access to several magical means of healing her arm, [[WoundThatWillNotHeal but it seems there was something special about how it was removed]] and indeed she's actively searching for her missing arm.
* Perhaps the most extreme example is Sydney Losstarot from ''VideoGame/VagrantStory''. He sacrificed all four of his limbs to the goddess of his religion, Mullenkamp, and had all four replaced by creepy {{steampunk}}-ish prosthetics.
* Limb replacement is fairly commonplace in ''VideoGame/{{Warframe}}''; the average [[CloneArmy Grineer]] requires extensive surgery in order to function due to their [[CloneDegeneration production flaws]], and mechanical limbs are a common sight. Some of them take it further; Councillor Vay Hek appears to have only kept his original face. [[BodyHorror The rest of him has changed quite a bit.]]
** The Solaris of the [[PenalColony Fortuna colony]] tend to sell and replace their limbs as partial payment of 'debts;' oddly, the most common prosthetic seen is artificial ''heads''.
* Kanon from ''VideoGame/WildArms2'' has had an arm and part of her trunk replaced by cybernetics; she not only has enhanced strength, but also neat gadgets like a hookshot. Considering the generally low-tech or steampunk feel of the game, one wonders how they can function as well as they do.
** ''VideoGame/WildArms5'' had Kartikeya, a.k.a., the man with a [[AMechByAnyOtherName Golem]] arm.
* ''VideoGame/WolfensteinIITheNewColossus''. HilarityEnsues when Fergus gets an artificial arm that appears to have a mind of its own, punching him in the face when he's trying to sleep and [[AccidentalPervert grabbing a woman's breast]] while Fergus is making a romantic overture.
* You can make an [[{{UsefulNotes/XboxAvatars}} Xbox Avatar]] with prosthetic limbs.
* In ''VideoGame/XCOMEnemyUnknown'''s ExpansionPack ''Enemy Within'', your troops can undergo surgery to become MEC Troopers. This involves having ''all four limbs'' amputated and replaced with cybertech sockets that can either mount robotic imitations of the original limbs when not in combat, or interface with the [[PoweredArmor Mechanical Exoskeletal Cybersuits]] that gives them their class name. The benefit of this is the operative gets to be a ridiculously tough 12-to-15-foot-tall mechanic giant that carries a [[{{BFG}} rifle-like Minigun]] (that can be upgraded up to a [[WaveMotionGun Particle Cannon]], and can be equipped with subsystems like a {{Barrier Busting|Blow}} RocketPunch, [[LandMineGoesClick a proximity mine layer]], [[FireBreathingWeapon a flamethrower that can make anything organic panic]], an {{EMP}} module, and other such goodness. When researching the technology, it's noted that the surgery is reversible ([[GameplayAndStorySegregation though not in the game]]).
