What about Cyberpunk 2077? Can you climb up the megacorp's buildings and blast the CEOs?

Unfortunately not as much as you would like. There's plenty of chances to blast corpo rats, but CEOs and whatnot? Nah. Ironically, in many endings, you accidentally reinforce the issues as people take advantage of your actions for power plays.

Yep, it tries to do the whole anticapitalist thing, but also not being a leftist power fantasy. It's still possible to walk away with an extremely liberal message of "unchecked Capitalism bad, but checked capitalism good." Still a good game, though.
