RoboCop: Rogue City
Huh, well here’s a shocker. I had zero excitement for a RoboCop game in 2023. But sometimes this job involves playing games you don’t care about, and so I ended up playing RoboCop: Rogue City for Kotaku. And I’m so happy that happened.
Here’s the big secret about this game, which on the surface looks like a shooter: It’s actually a charming little RPG with its own tiny open world and side quests, too. I didn’t realize that until I started playing, and by the end I cared so much about that little slice of futuristic Detroit and the citizens I helped. Yeah, the action is great and slowly walking into a gunfight and shooting apart a dozen criminals with RoboCop’s iconic auto pistol is a blast. But what kept me playing and won me over wasn’t the violence, but the characters and world that get fleshed out throughout the game.
