Fallout 4

There are a number of references to the 1982 film Blade Runner, both in the form of easter eggs as well as Spoiler:inspirations in the game's overall story:

• On top of the Mass Fusion Containment Shed building, there is a dead Raider wearing a duster and a dead Synth. The two bodies are posed similarly to Rick Deckard and Roy Batty in the "Tears in the Rain" scene from Blade Runner.
• The Power Noodles stand in the center of Diamond City, along with the Noodle-serving Protectron named Takahashi is likely inspired by the noodle stand and it's japanese-only speaking owner that Deckard eats at in Blade Runner.
• The town of Covenant requires a psychological "G.O.A.T Test" before it can allow newcomers in. Spoiler:The reasoning behind it is to tell who is a genuine human and who is actually a "Synth", very similar to the Voight-Kampf Test's done in Blade Runner, which is done to expose if the person being tested is a Replicant or not.
• Spoiler:A good portion of the game's plot/backstory involves the "Synths", who are inspired by the Replicants from Blade Runner, in the sense they can mimic humans almost perfectly and hide among them. There are even runaway Synths trying to find freedom, similar to the runaway Replicants Deckard is tasked to find in Blade Runner.
• Spoiler:Nick Valentine is arguably a product of inspiration from the movie, as he fits the "neo-noir" motif of Blade Runner.

After the first time Meryl gets possessed by Psycho Mantis just outside of the Commander's Room, using the first-person perspective will reveal it has been temporarily changed to Meryl's point of view, instead of Solid Snake. Spoiler:This is a possible foreshadowing to the Psycho Mantis fight, where trying to use the first person perspective in it will actually show Psycho Mantis's point of view instead of Solid Snake's.

Before the Psycho Mantis fight starts, he will demonstrate his psychic abilities by reading Snake's mind, which actually involves reading the saved game files on the inserted memory card.
The game save-files that trigger a response from Psycho Mantis are Super Mario Sunshine, Super Smash Bros. Melee, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, the last being Silicon Knights previous game made exclusively for the Gamecube.

At the coordinates N 47.925; E 40.783 there are ruins with a set of statues circling a dead goat. If left unattended for a while, the statues seem to switch places. This is a clear reference to the Dr. Who villains, the Weeping Angels, which is a species of statue-like predatory creatures that only move when not seen.

The game is based off the 1993 Japanese arcade game simply titled "No Oishii Puzzle Ha Irimasen Ka", a puzzle game developed by the Hebereke creators themselves, Sunsoft and Atlus. While both games are very much the same, the only difference between the two are the map arrangements, how the music sounds, and some of the characters seen.
