Steampunk?

A post-apocalypic present with ancient and highly advanced technologies unearthed from ruins that humanity no longer has the skill to remake. Miyazaki's Nausicaa comes to mind. Or maybe a world where technology is futuristic but the societal structure is from the past. Warhammer 40k, the Roman empire but in space.

  RPGs are often like that. Powerful items are never something like the optimized, advanced light sabre of performance but always something like the ancient rusty sword of the primordial elders.

  Fallout series.

  Dune, perhaps?

Probably Blade Runner or the Alien universe (which is the same universe, depending on who you ask).

  They certainly share a common aesthetic. Same universe? No.
