Is this worth playing throughout? I watched blader runner 2049 and want to be a neo-noir detective. Recommend other neo-noir adventures as well

>neo-noir
what is this, and how is it different from cyberpunk?

Well Bladerunner isn't really cyberpunk. It's definetly neo noir and proto cyberpunk.

Noire that's set in the '80s rather than the '50s.

Not very. Cyberpunk is a subset of neo-noir.
OP might as well have called BR2049 a detective movie, and he would've been right then too.

Tex Murphy but it might not be exactly what you're looking for. It's classic noir but set in the future. Also quite humourous at times.

The first part (Mean Streets) in particular is pretty light on humor department. It is also much more open, then all the subsequent parts, which pretty much follow typical p&c mold gameplay-wise.
You fly around the city, scavenge the leads, the whole thing is pretty remarkably open and non-linear. Sure, it's clunky (the shooting and searching minigames in particular), but, well, I'd say that this could be understood, considering the age of that game. What's more important, is that all the groundwork for the series, all the crucial points from the TM setting, are already there, in Mean Streets. Sure, the subsequent parts do tell very different stories, and do it much more impressively, but they do it using the groundwork, established by MS. I honestly think, that MS is a legitimately good and still a very distinctive game. What sets it apart not only from other TM games, but pretty much from any other adventure game ever created, is its sheer sense of scope, and its simulationist aspects. I honestly can't remember a single other game that has ever tried to simulate "futuristic private inversigation" activities in quite the way this game has attempted to do it. I think it is, along with King's Quest 3 (which is another one of my adventure game darlings due to groundbreaking gameplay concept) is still very much worth playing, if you want to see and play through something still highly unusual from a purely gameplay standpoint - IF you manage to stomach its inherent clunkiness, SOME of which, admittedly, comes with its age.
