Is there a particular name for that visual style where technology is mixed with magic? Are there games that do this?
Can only think of Destiny (to a certain extent ingame but mostly in early concept art) and Final Fantasy 12 with the whole crystal stuff

Quite a few. You up for high tech society remnants where everyone regressed to magic or steamshit pushing at traditional magic? How about contemporary setting but with (((magic)))?

"Science fantasy" is the genre

Star Wars is a criticism of the modern society that replaces spiritual faith with technological progress based on the cultural phenomenon young George saw as a 60's kid. In Star Wars, no matter how advanced the technology they posses, it's still powerless and irrelevant in comparison with the Force. I don't know if it can be categorized as techno magic fantasy, the role of the Force is deeper than simply magic.

Anyway, the first big trend-setter was DOOM, followed by Quake. But the games OP mentioned are hardly successors to a particular style.

I was just listing different names someone could call a game with tech-magic mix. Post-apocalyptic fantasy was referring to settings where there's ruins of an ancient civilization that were so advanced their artifacts are revered as magic (or just are magic).

only two games do this, quake and destiny. both of them have the same shit: a portion of the dev team wanted to do a fantasy game, the other wanted to do what they were already good at, they met in the middle.

Ultima 2 is shit compared to Ultima 1.
You just sail around the world looking for baddies to grind so you can accumulate enough shekels to bribe the guy at the Hotel California and hope he'll raise your stats except he eventually screws you over 'cause when your stats hit 99 he can raise them further and overflow them down to 0.
And you have to sail 'cause a bug prevents you from consuming food so it's the only way to stretch out your funds.
