RoboCop: Rogue City is a power trip game disguised as an FPS where you become RoboCop and decide how to deliver justice and the word of the law. As a hulking machine that is quite literally unstoppable, you play levels using advanced technology such as scanners that mark targets or bullets that reflect on surfaces to eliminate enemies that keep spawning until the minion spawning machine breaks. If you enjoy unique experiences and power trips or you like the RoboCop movies, then there is a lot to be found in this game.

As I said, Rogue City is a power fantasy, Robocop can soak bullets and explosions like nothing, can grab people and throw them into the sky and he doesn't even take fall damage! It is a lot of fun to play as him as you truly feel invincible and have a lot of gadgets and skill points to unlock. His trusty auto-9 is a pistol that works like a machine gun and can be customized (it also has infinite ammo) and you can modify him to suit your playstyle whether that be a focus on combat, human psychology, or being able to hack systems.

Despite all of those advantages, RoboCop is still a flawed machine (or human). He moves slowly, meaning is hard to dodge incoming fire or rocket launchers at times, his auto-9 while handy sometimes doesn't have enough damage to dispatch groups of enemies fast enough and mines can deal severe damage. Knowing how to exploit RoboCop's main features while circumventing his flaws will make him a more effective machine, especially in harder-difficultier settings where the game can go from a power trip to an actual challenge.

As I played through the game, one of the aspects I enjoyed the most was the evaluation of RoboCop. Based on how many humans you save, side objectives, and criminals taken out you get a rating and the better ratings give you more experience. There are also segments where you compete VS fellow robots or departments of SWAT or police forces to see who does a better job. Those competitions are a nice way of introducing pressure to do a good job while it is also satisfying to win them and prove that RoboCop is the future after all.

Some choices can be made, and what you choose determines if RoboCop feels more like a machine, a human, or both. Characters have a reputation system of sorts that affects how they look and think of RoboCop as well as part of the ending. Investing in Psychology can make these choices easier or more effective but can end up negating damage as you don't invest in it, which forces you to rely on different weapons with limited ammo instead of the Auto-9. In that way, we can see that the player's choices affect both the story and the gameplay.

Ah yes, that overused phrase in media. Anyways, the story is an original tale told in the world of RoboCop, and movie fans will appreciate all the nostalgia and nods to the movies as the commissary looks the same and Lewis is in the game, a pivotal character to RoboCop development as a person. The Big Bad while interesting is also a bit cliche but does a solid job at delivering a threat to the city and a sense of urgency.

The scenarios are well done and being in the universe of RoboCop is fascinating as you explore the city of Old Detroit meeting its struggling people and flawed characters. The music is also worth taking note of, as the composer is Chris Detyna who has worked on games such as Terminator: Resistance and delivers soundtracks that are instantly recognizable by fans of the movies. The sound of RoboCop's steps is nailed perfectly and the visual aspects are pretty good in reflections and overall look of the game.

Rogue City is a different type of FPS game that is a breath of fresh air in the industry and the way to follow when making new games: be original and be thrilling to play. For a 10-hour game if you follow only the main story is a bit overpriced, but the quality of the title and nods to the movies make it worth getting! RoboCop as a character has it's unique flair in how he speaks and how he plays in the game thanks to his strengths and weaknesses. Those who want to play something unique or love the RoboCop movies should give this game a try!

8/10 GREAT

As someone whose childhood in the '80s was shaped by the RoboCop movies, I was beyond excited to play RoboCop: Rogue City. The game doesn’t disappoint in capturing that nostalgic vibe. The graphics are fantastic and bring you right back to the gritty, neon-lit atmosphere of the 1980s—it's like stepping into one of the classic movies.

The controls are solid and enjoyable, making it fun to unleash RoboCop's iconic abilities. However, a word of advice: when building your skillset, choose carefully—some upgrades feel more impactful than others.

On the downside, the enemies could have used more variety; many of the bad guys felt like clones in both looks and voice acting. It didn’t ruin the experience for me, but it’s something that could’ve added a bit more flavor to the game.

Overall, I found RoboCop: Rogue City to be a fun and satisfying game that does justice to the franchise. If you’re a fan of the movies or just enjoy action games with a retro vibe, it’s worth checking out!

It took me 25 hours to complete and get all achievements!

Happy gaming!

I love the RoboCop movies like any 43 year old OG. Yes, even the third one, kind of. This game however is just terrible, in every aspect.

I just finished the mission where I had to find a yellow towel for a man showering, then I had to get five officers to sign a get well card. These are real tasks in the game. The character movement is slow, the BUGS WITH GAME PLAY CAUSE ME TO RESTART THE GAME FREQUENTLY. Always fun when there’s no way to save a game manually before your exit, where are you going to respawn? Who knows! This game’s release date was November 2023, why are the bugs not fixed?

Movement of robocop in-game is slow and painful, even when you’ve maxed out the mouse speed. I guess you can say that yes the original character in the movies was slow moving but … it’s hard to deal with in gameplay. The AI they used to recreate Peter Weller's voice is slower...than...it...needs...to...be...not sure why because he didn’t speak so slowly in the movies. They brought back two other characters from the movies and didn't bother to AI clone their voices. When Lewis and the Police Captain speak, it's abrasive because it’s like they didn't even try to find similar voices of the original actors.

Game characters and their speech are entirely robotic sounding. The dialog and cut scenes are boring and you’ll find yourself skipping through them frequently.

Looking out over city scapes looks more like I'm looking out over a city that extends about one mile and lives in a sandbox. Skyscrapers higher than a few floors disappear into mist. The music is bad, the lighting is very bad. Was this game someone's poorly executed college midterm project?

Edit: I forgot to include the game play is lazy, repetitive, linear (at times) and also an open sandbox, yet not an open world. You'll see what that means when you've played the game.
