RoboCop Rogue City (PS5)

This game is a love letter to the Robocop legacy. You can tell the developers loved Robocop and they did an amazing job. Great graphics, gameplay, voice work, and story. I’m a weekend player and I beat this game on normal difficulty without much problem. Once you beat the game you can start a new game with all your perks and abilities. This game seems to go on forever, there’s just so much to do. Peter lends his legendary voice and jawline to the game. There are some minor graphical and gameplay glitches, but nothing major. I had to restart a few checkpoints due to characters getting stuck or freezing which prevented me from continuing the level. Besides that there’s so much to love, and let’s hope for a sequel. So citizens you must buy this game, or there will be trouble.

Item arrived in great condition and performed well.

More fun than I expected. Obviously not AAA, but fun, which is more than most AAA can offer.

Good price at Christmas time. Gave as Christmas gift, good purchase

Great game!!! Just buy it. Feels like you are in the movies yourself.

Fun game!

Received very quick and packaged good. Thanks

My review is for the PlayStation 5 version of this game. As a child, the Robocop theme song was always playing through my head—as I played, as I created—as I did anything I loved. When I saw this game was coming out, I instantly preordered. I have a huge collection of Robocop memorabilia and I still believe it is one of the greatest action films to come out of the 80s—and still one of the greatest of all time. So, take that with a grain of salt. Some of my friends were sure this was going to be a buggy mess—I am happy to say that Alex Murphy returns to cleanse the streets and not a day has passed to wash away this nuke-filled 80s Detroit. We have Peter Weller reprising his role. We have a love for the source material on full display from the developers. And when I was let into the building to begin mowing down thugs at the beginning of the game that old rousing score had a permanent smile on my face until the conclusion of the mission. I have to say, the developers got this right! Now, there are some bugs and some rough edges. I had to restart a mission because my gun site got fastened to my visor at one point. The cutscene characters kind of pop in on PS5–maybe a patch could fix—every NPC punk yells about how you destroyed their hand, and sometimes you can literally launch a biker into space with a robopunch—but this stuff is great. The environmental destruction is a nice touch. The M9 rocks as you would expect, and although Robo is slow, it helps sell the narrative that you are an unstoppable tank. Try not to smile when you marry a punk’s skull with a computer monitor. As a child of the 80s, I have been starved for something that does Robocop justice, and this game has finally given us a sequel to wash the remake and Robocop 3 away. I hope this team sticks with 80s properties or more Robocop! While it is not technical perfection, it is trying to do something that shooters don’t attempt these days. Did I mention Robocop has dialogue options? As a kid I always wanted him to realize his humanity and now I get to do that too! Happy and surprised by this new 80s action dream come true!
