RoboCop: Rogue City

Really fun and great!

Much better! Than I expected..

I had already played Terminator: Resistance from the same company and I liked it very much..In fact, me and many people consider it the best Terminator game ever..so far at least.

I expected Robocop Rogue City to be at about the same level..but I was pleasantly surprised!.. It is even greater! And shows the steady upward path this Studio is going..from Rambo (which I haven't played but read was mediocre..) to the great Terminator Resistance to the magnificent! RoboCop Rogue City!..

The game is a lot of fun..fully loyal to the movies..and situated between RoboCop 2 and 3.. The graphics are really impressive! At some points, with only some faces or explosion effects looking a bit simple.. Unreal Engine 5..is in use.

In many places you think you are watching a new Robocop movie..

The music is directly from the official soundtrack of the 1st movie by the Great Basil Poledouris.

I would just like it to be used more often in the game.. since it creates an Epic! Atmosphere.. I would also like it if the great Auto-9 gun used the original sound effects from the movies.. Robocop's voice is Peter Weller's!

The story is simple but ok..with many original characters from the movies used. Your actions and decisions at some points affect the game and how the characters treat you.. There is also the characteristic humour..of the movies throught the game

The fights are great, there is a lot of action and many weapons to use apart from the original Auto-9 which can take many improvements with chips.

The bosses and enemies are all here..from both RoboCop 1 and 2.

Apart from some glitches and few crashes on PS5, which I hope will all be fixed by patches, this game is definitely Recommended!

And a MUST buy for all RoboCop and sci-fi/cyberpunk fans..

When Robocop - Rogue City was first announced, I wasn't excited. In fact, I was pretty skeptical. I presumed it would be just another mediocre title, failing to capture the magic of its source material. How wrong I was! This game turned out to be an unexpected gem, evoking a wave of nostalgia that reminded me of the glory days of gaming around 2004/2005-specifically, games like Vampire the Masquerade, which I adored back then.

As soon as I jumped in, it became clear that this game is an action title at its core, and it's where it really shines. There's something utterly exhilarating about roaming the gritty streets of this semi-open world, engaging in combat with Splatter-punks, bikers, OCP soldiers, and rogue robots. The action is mostly linear, yet diverse. Yes, the main campaign is straightforward, but there's plenty of side content that invites exploration and decision-making. I was delighted to discover that my choices had real consequences in the world, enhancing the immersion and making me feel like my actions held weight.

The gunplay? Incredible. There's just something satisfying about the sound of the firearms, especially knowing that my pistol comes with unlimited ammo! This surprising mechanic adds a level of carefree fun that I didn't expect, although I found myself dying more than I'd like to admit, proving that even unlimited bullets can't save you from poor decisions or sneaky enemies.

Interacting with NPCs and taking on various missions is where the game truly delivers a classic RPG feel. You can go from shooting bad guys to solving petty disputes, and each interaction feels meaningful. The dialogue trees provide an opportunity to shape your story-again, a lovely nod to titles like Vampire the Masquerade and Deus Ex: Human Revolution, both of which have left marks on my gaming heart.

Visually, the game runs smoothly at 60 frames per second, and while it boasts a 4K image, I have to be honest-the character models feel somewhat stiff and lifeless. In some respects, it feels like a product of yesteryear, reminiscent of a 2007 release. But somehow, I found I could overlook these shortcomings. The compelling gameplay and engaging story kept me glued to my screen.

Speaking of story, Robocop - Rogue City presents a narrative that feels true to the Robocop universe. The corporate machinations and moral ambiguity resonate deeply, and though there aren't many surprising plot twists, the storytelling serves its purpose well. And on a nostalgic note, I was thrilled to hear Peter Weller reprising his role as Robocop. His voice acting is on point, enriching the experience with gravitas. Don't get me started on the music-the iconic Robocop theme enhances the ambiance and evokes memories of the classic films.

However, it's not all roses. I found Robocop's movements a tad sluggish, which occasionally made traversing the environment and hunting down hidden quests tedious. I missed a fair number of side quests simply because they were challenging to locate. I clocked around 22 hours of playtime, but I know I could have squeezed even more out of it with proper navigation.

In conclusion, Robocop - Rogue City transformed my initial skepticism into genuine enthusiasm. It rekindled my love for AA single-player titles in a big way, sparking a desire to delve into more games of this ilk. I'm already looking forward to exploring more stories just like this one.

A solid 8/10. This game isn't perfect, but it captured my heart and will certainly stay with me longer than I ever expected. If you're a fan of action RPGs and have an appreciation for classic sci-fi, you owe it to yourself to give this one a try!

Some so-so voice acting here and there, along with some pretty rough character models and animation drags it down. I played this right after a replay of the Last of us 2 so the quality difference between a AAA game is noticeable.

The gameplay is solid but could be more varied, you basically tank through the levels gunning down wave after wave of carbon copy bad guys who just stand there and shoot at you, then you must hide to repair yourself which is awesome but feels a bit monotonous.

That said I haven't finished it. Worth your time especially for Robocop fans but wait for the sales for this one.

If you're a fan of the RoboCop character, then I haven't any issues recommending this game to you. It's isn't a fully fledged AAA and in some areas you are able to see that but for the budget of the game and the price it costs you more than get your money's worth. Peter Weller does a fantastic job yet again playing the character and it was a surprise to have him in this game, it goes to share the care and attention from the developers to ask the original actor to be in the game.

The gameplay is also a lot of fun, maybe a little too easy, which I can see being an issue to some people, but in a game where you play as RoboCop I think it's just natural to feel overpowered for a lot of the game. His movements are perfect and gun fights are a lot of fun. Also fun are all the smaller side quests you're able to do when you're in the little sandbox areas. It adds a lot to the world of the game and some of the side missions really had me surprised just by how much effort was put into side content. Without giving away too much or anything, the ending is also really great and feels like something out of a movie. If you catch this game, play it.

Greetings from Lithuania.

"RoboCop: Rogue City" (2023) is a video game based on a RoboCop hero. It follows after the events of first two films - in case you haven't liked or seen "RoboCop 3" (1993) this video game might serve you as a good end of a trilogy, because it's really good one. Story is good here. Characters, all voiced by original actors are just as they were in movies. Gameplay itself is pretty straightforward. If you enjoyed this companies previous game Terminator: Resistance, with RoboCop they improved a lot. It has skill system, dialog options, great environment to mess with and plenty of enemies to shoot at. It looks great, it sound great and it's simply a great game.
