RoboCop: Rogue City (Xbox Series X)

Product Information

The crime-riddled city of Old Detroit, recreated in videogame form. (Image credit: Windows Centra / Nacon) It’s an unfortunate turn of events that RoboCop: Rogue City won’t be on previous generation consoles, and this severely limits your freedom to play it if you don’t have a Series X or PS5. It seems incredibly unlikely that a previous generation version would be made at this point, so your best bet is to either get one of these consoles or buy it on Steam if your PC meets the system requirements.

RoboCop: Rogue City Review - IGN

Teyon blends bloody linear shootouts with light open world action for an entertaining, if unadventurous, RoboCop experience. RoboCop: Rogue City review RoboCop the remake is very underrated too but I understand why people hate it. Personally I loved the 12A adaptation and all the Metal Gear/Raiden influence on it. Pretty horrifying while still being suitable(ish) for kids, along the lines of Jurassic Park or The (Brendan Fraser) Mummya b Leri, Michael (5 June 2023).

It makes for a unique-feeling shooter - a game that can often feel very basic, tired, repetitive and old-hat, chiefly because it is all of these things - 100%. It's all very dated and has no real surprises up its sleeve; it's got weird uncanny valley NPCs, linear missions, a bunch of very run-of-the-mill guns and some of the worst grenades in the grenade business. If you don't care about RoboCop. If you are a fan though, there's something more here. There's immaculate recreations of some of the movie's most famous locations, lots of old characters make cameos, Peter Weller reprises his iconic role (enough to sell the most ardent fans) and the writing is absolutely on the money. I thought the trailers made it look similar to Die Hard Vendetta which really piqued my interest because that is an awesome game. Will definitely get around to playing this at some point. Gould, Elie (5 June 2023). "RoboCop: Rogue City preview - not your average cyborg". TechRadar . Retrieved 27 August 2023. Rogue City's biggest problem, though, is that its "new" story isn't all that new. Thematically, the story covers much the same ground as the original film, targeting corporate ownership of public institutions, the sweeping aside of the poor for gentrified districts, the shunting aside of human workers in favour of automated machines, and how greed and destitution leads to increases in crime and violence. All of this is fine, but it also repeats a lot of the plot points from the first two films, like OCP seeking to replace RoboCop with a new model, and Scullion, Chris (7 July 2022).
