RoboCop: Rogue City

While the dialogue and story writing could overall have benefitted from at least one member of the writing team that knew that 'chillax' wasn't a 1980s slang term? This is a solid shooter with RPG and low-level puzzle elements. And it's fun! You will feel like a walking tank with one-liner subroutines. At least until that ED-209 boss battle. Don't you kids complain about the spoilers on that. It's like being told that 'Captain America hates Nazis' is a major spoiler. No, it's part of their character DNA. I bought this and played this on a iMac. Bought during the 2026 Steam summer sale. And with inflation? I think I bought this game for a dollar, inflation from 1987 to now factored in.

One of the best value for money games that I've ever played. Great story stuck to the roots, also nailed the 80's aesthetics, loved every second of it. If you re looking for something that doesn't take alot of your time yet is very fun which is very rare these days then you should definetly give this game a try it's absolutely worth it.

I started this game with low expectations and was surprised by how good it was. For a AA game it did a really good job. It has few flaws but I still had a great time.

¿Te gustaron las películas de ROBOCOP? Juégalo. ¿No te gustaron las películas de ROBOCOP? Juégalo. Un videojuego a la vieja escuela: crudo, directo y fiel al espíritu de las películas. A pesar de su tono serio, tiene varias misiones secundarias que te sacarán una sonrisa. Además de repartir justicia, tus decisiones influirán en la personalidad de RoboCop. ¿Intentarás conservar su humanidad o dejarás que la máquina tome el control?

[h1]If a game makes me want to go back and rewatch the original movies, it's definitely doing something right.[/h1] [i]And now I have no idea how to get that stupid Nuke song out of my head.[/i] We got something that's actually pretty rare these days: a genuinely good game based on a movie. The story is canon and takes place between the second and third films. The developers absolutely nailed the atmosphere of the first two movies. RoboCop feels exactly like I remember him from watching those films as a kid. Cold, confident, and always ready with his iconic one-liners that scare criminals just by the way he delivers them. Overall, this game is a perfect example of how movie adaptations should be made. It captures the spirit of the franchise incredibly well. The brutal combat, realistic weapon sounds, the impact of every shot, the 80s retro-futuristic style, walls and body parts flying everywhere, the unique vehicle designs... [b]it all feels like classic RoboCop.[/b] The world itself deserves a lot of praise too. Homeless people seriously discuss the stock market, street criminals have what sound like university-level debates about free market economics and distribution, NPCs constantly throw out funny lines, there are corrupt politicians, conspiracy theories, and so much more. And that's only a small part of what I noticed. The game is absolutely packed with little details like these. [hr][/hr] [h3]Police station[/h3] what I also really liked. There's almost always something happening there. You're constantly helping your fellow officers, dealing with different situations, and simply watching everyday life unfold. It makes the place feel alive and believable. The characters are another highlight. Almost everyone has their own personality, many of them deliver genuinely funny dialogue, and overall they feel like actual people. I highly recommend not skipping their side missions. [i]"Murphy, in my office, NOW!" (lol)[/i] The main story isn't dragged out and keeps a good pace. It starts off fairly slowly but gradually builds momentum with more and more twists until everything reaches a satisfying conclusion. [hr][/hr] [h3]The side missions[/h3] surprised me in a very good way. Most of them are unique, genuinely fun, and many of them directly affect the story later in the game. Almost every choice, dialogue, or even something you decide not to do can change how characters see you. I also loved that people you meet early on can show up again later. For example, criminals you arrested can later be found in prison when you visit them. They're small details, but they're exactly the kind of things that make the world feel much more immersive. My only disappointment with the story is [spoiler]the final confrontation with Antonovsky.[/spoiler] That scene could have been much more epic. It really felt like the main theme should have slowly started building in the background, but for some reason the developers didn't do it. They were [i]this[/i] close to making that moment perfect. The sound design deserves its own section because it's simply fantastic. Every gunshot, explosion, RoboCop's mechanical footsteps and movements, the soundtrack... everything sounds exactly the way it should. [hr][/hr] [h3]Technically, though,[/h3] things are a bit more complicated. [b]Unreal Engine 5[/b] is both the game's biggest strength and its biggest weakness. Many locations look almost photorealistic, the lighting is excellent, and RoboCop himself looks almost like a real person in many cutscenes. It's obvious the artists put an incredible amount of effort into every environment. Which makes it even stranger that the [b]game doesn't have a proper Photo Mode.[/b] Every street, every puddle, every light source and every carefully placed object looks like it was made for screenshots, yet there's no official tool to take advantage of it. [b]Thanks to the incurable Unreal Engine 5[/b] the game crashed several times for me. Performance also leaves a lot to be desired despite supporting every modern upscaling and frame generation technology. During story sections with large numbers of enemies, the FPS sometimes drops through the floor. [i]One more downside is that the last third of the game becomes pretty exhausting. The developers simply start throwing way too many enemies at you.[/i] [hr][/hr] [h3]Final Thoughts[/h3] It's a game that clearly respects its source material and captures everything that made the original RoboCop so memorable. Yes, there are technical issues, and the final act could have been handled a bit better, but neither of those is enough to ruin what is otherwise an excellent experience.

Игра скучная, играл на минималках, и даже так игра сильно проседает по ФПС, играть неприятно. Не понимаю, как люди на 4 ГБ видеокартах должны играть, если даже на 8 игра впритык работает.

Aboule ton pognon binoclard ou j'te fais péter le crane ! Ce jeu le mérite. Vous allez le prendre avec vous, mort ou vif. Un vrai kiff !

Story is great, action is great, and detective side-missions are awesome (and truly make this stand out from just another FPS). However, it's sad that the developers couldn't do what the amazing mod community could and fix this game. Before modding, it's a good game marred by performance, audio, and visual bugs. With the mod community's help and some simple UE5 commands that should have been implemented as game options, HDR can actually be enabled and all of the performance, audio, and visual issues are just about removed. Very pleasant experience after using these reflections/illumination flaring fixes and HDR enablement: r.ReflectionMethod=2 r.Lumen.Reflections.Temporal=0 r.Lumen.ScreenProbeGather.Temporal.MaxFramesAccumulated=32 r.AllowHDR=1 r.HDR.EnableHDROutput=1 r.HDR.Display.OutputDevice=5 Plus everything in the Ultimate Engine Tweaks ini created by P40L0 on Nexus Mods makes all the difference in your experience with this game. After all of that, game is phenomenal.
