| | |RoboCop: Rogue City|FPS, Action, Shooter, RPG, Cyberpunk|Become the legendary part man, part machine, all cop hero and deliver justice in Old Detroit.|This is an easy recommendation. \\ Now, depending if you enjoyed RoboCop the Movie and have "nostalgia" or whatever you want to call it, this will be either a "good game" or an "above average". \\ \\ if you have nostalgia for the Movie and what not, then this might even be a "very good game": a lot of easter eggs and movie references, amazing sound design, original RoboCop Voice Actor, top notch violence, the gameplay feels like you are actually playing RoboCop. \\ \\ If you don't have nostalgia, the above still applies, as well as all the quick inserted ethical and moral questions - which are just 1 or 2 sentences and then never touched again -, the 80-90s humor, the dystopian visions and ideas about a "unchecked capitalism" and so on, BUT it might not be enough to make you enjoy the game that much. \\ \\ If you saw the movie, this will feel "just like home", if not, you might linger for more development, more character development, more exposition and exploration of said ideas and feel like some dialogues, quests and situations are just badly done - which don't get me wrong, they are, but they feel just like the type of humor and delivery from the movie period -. \\ \\ With that said, the shooting / gameplay mechanics are not anything special, nothing pratically new, so as a FPS, the game is just very lacking. Same in the other departments, be it "detective" or any other "puzzle" like elements. \\ \\ The only major downside of the game, imho, is the lack of manual saves, you are bond to the - sometimes very much apart from one another - checkpoint system. \\ \\ About 20 hours for a run while checking every nook and spot, about 8 hours for the main story only. \\ \\ So, an easy recommendation, but this game will either be "an amazing homage to the original" or "an average FPS" depending on how much other media knowledge and "nostalgia" you have.|05/2024| |
