While RoboCop: Rogue City didn’t turn the sci-fi genre on its head or do anything particularly outlandishly creative, it did succeed in paying homage to the source material and creating a believable world that was entertaining to navigate. Depending on what you upgrade and how you interact with the world around you, you’ll get different benefits, hints, and even one of two different endings to the atmospheric sci-fi shooter. “With engineering, you can trick them that their car is coursing with electricity, and they better move away, and they do that actually”. Even when confronting random NPCs sitting in a car playing music, “If you use psychology, there is an additional option that is the most peaceful course of action”, Łatocha says. There are multiple ways to confront each problem, thanks to the multiple skills available to upgrade. The fact that developers Teyon fleshed out the world with believable and entertaining characters and side quests meant that the copious amounts of violence never got old. The action sequences were only as cool as they were thanks to the extra content outside of the main gunfights and story. What more could you ask for? Methodical mayhem As simple as it may sound, charging through waves of enemies and clicking heads was a great way to relax and feel badass. I even had a home-grown Matrix moment as everything slows down when Robocop breaches a door, allowing me to pick off the bad guys with seemingly little effort. I could stroll carelessly through enemy fire or jump down an elevator shaft without a snapped shin in sight. There were many moments like this that reminded me of my cyborg prowess. Receiving either a savage fist to the face or being grabbed by the throat and flung across the room like a toy doll. The poor souls that let me get too close got a pretty bloody taste of the melee options. As I traversed the news studio in my first proper quest as RoboCop, I found myself using my faithful Auto-9 pistol and a bevy of assault rifles to mow down the evil gangsters in a blaze of glory. The fight sequences were everything a fan of the series could hope for. While I enjoyed the more empathetic and genuine stories while previewing RoboCop: Rogue City, it was more like the icing on an action-packed FPS-flavored cake.
