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..

Really a true sequel. Yeah some bugs. Specially the character designs felt like a very last gen although the level designs were the next gen .

This game was gritty, gory and made ya felt like RoboCop however I didn't like that you could only explore one part of Detrot could brought more but so, so it was all about the story telling and some of choices effect it.

The makers really worked hard within the shooting controls and styles of combat from shooting thugs, from throwing them or throwing objects at them, punching or to go back to the gun firing blow off their limes or face off but the recation to see them was in pain as shot them in their jewls. This game had 80's action film style added into a video game your just going buy this if you love shooters or fan of the films one of the best action games of 2023, I'll buy that for a dollar! P.s maybe in 10 years time or 20 hopefully less they could make this into a real web series or netflix film or something you would buy that for a dollar!

RoboCop: Rogue City is an amazing movie licensed game. It makes you feel like Robocop, you're slow like a tank, and you feel heavy compared to other FPS games like Call Of Duty. And the whole world and such feels true to the movies (from what i vaguely remember. I haven't seen the movies in years) The only negative thing i have to say is, that i don't think the story is as interesting as just playing the game (it's just how i've always been with most games, i don't even think the story is awful by any means of course. I just get a bit bored of watching the cutscenes because i have both Autism and ADHD) But the game in itself is not bad or boring at all, it's a pretty fun game that shows love and care to the source material. And the best part of the game is that Peter Weller is returning as Robocop instead of ''just'' a impressionist or a whole other voice.

Despite the 15+ hours of fun I had, there are clear and obvious flaws with Robocop Rogue City, But from the previous work of this games development studio they've improved leaps and bounds.

I'll try and keep my review as short and concise as possible explaining everything you need to know if you're planning on getting the game, or if you want to know what someone who's beat the entire game feels about Robocop Rogue City. Let's start with story.

Story: 8/10. This is the games strong point. As someone who was born in the early 90's right in between Robocop 2 and 3, I can say I was brought up on Alex Murphy and his tin can. I remember watching at a much younger age than I should have been, but being truly amazed at such a unique and often startling world of Robocops Detroit. Rogue city takes place right in that sweet spot between movies and has all the usual cast of characters who play their part excellently. I especially enjoyed seeing Anne Lewis again in all her bubble popping glory. The main actors do a great job and Peter Weller even reprises his role as Alex Murphy which sounds great in game. I won't spoil any story points but I will say it does a really good job at keeping you immersed in its plot and egging Robocop on to get the bad guy.

Visuals: 5/10. Not great. A weird mashup of modern techniques like raytracing clash with what seems like ancient character models and outdated mechanics, which make a sometimes graphically off putting game. The game starts with an awful cutscene where one particular characters hair was waving about like he was free falling from an airplane, despite being inside a building. Not a good start at all. The worst thing without doubt is the characters mouth movement. It just looks like they should be speaking in a PS3/Xbox 360 game from nearly 20 years ago. The downtown city itself is decent looking especially at night with raytraced reflections in things like pools of water on the ground, but the overall look of the game during the day isn't as good. Cutscenes as mentioned can be jarring and off putting so if you're buying this to test the limits of what your PS5/Series X can do, then this really isn't the game for you.

Performance: 7/10. Solid enough. Weirdly on PS5 the game starts in fidelity/Quality mode, which is by far the worst mode. It feels slow and impacts gameplay because shooting and moving in 30FPS just isn't it in 2024. The performance mode however does a good enough job to try and maintain 60FPS. There are drops in the framerate for sure, especially in certain areas/sections but for the most part it's passable with no major issues.

Gameplay: 8/10. Really fun, slightly repetitive. Shooting is awesome, it feels fluid and responsive, you have a decent amount of guns to swap between, I especially like the mounted guns you can rip from their mount and blast fools away like you're Arnie. There is dashes, flashes and a few more abilities you have your disposal, but by far the best is the slow mo. It's not Max Payne good but come on, who doesn't love a bit of slo mo shooting in your games, it's just plain fun. The movement is limited as you would expect playing as Robocop but they make it just agile enough to where it doesn't feel too sluggish. The ability to put chips on your main gun is something that adds a little mini game which can be a nice distraction now and then. Skill points are gained each time you level up and are a very basic but welcome addition. Later on in the game the gunplay does feel slightly repetitive but picking up items like PC's, gas canisters and TV's to throw at your enemies mix it up enough. Still very enjoyable for the most part.

Overall: a mixed bag of a game with solid gameplay and entertaining storyline that is slightly let down by some questionable and outdated graphics, mediocre performance and can be limited in enjoyment depending if you're a Robocop fan or not. Far from perfect but a charming game that does just enough to keep you entertained throughout. 7/10.

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.
