Robocop: Rogue City is an argument that not only can licensing IP work well in smaller-scale games, but given the right combination of creativity and focus a more dormant IP can be especially effective. A property like Robocop does not have a clear position in pop culture right now, beyond the obvious late-80’s movie nostalgia. But the team at Teyon, with a combination of awareness and sincerity, definitely found one. I had so much fun blasting through waves of jabronis and laughing at Robocop’s earnest policing antics. In a crowded year like 2023, Rogue City is an unexpected gem.

Fans of RoboCop are likely to love Rogue City, though it’s also likely to prove appealing to those who simply like shooting up bad guys with reckless abandon. Dealing out violent justice as RoboCop rarely struggles to put a smile on your face – even if, at times, it threatens to become a tad repetitive. Throw in some light investigation and some moments of humour, and you have a game that makes effective use of a much-loved IP.

lack of technical polish and the use of a dated overall game structure. Despite this, it respectfully delivers a good setting for a classic character, respecting the original material and with good doses of fun.

A surprisingly competent attempt at making a lost sequel to the movies, with some excellent action and ambitious but flawed storytelling.

Even if Rogue City had started to rust a little towards the end of its lengthy campaign, its surprisingly in-depth shooting and roleplaying mechanics, love of the source material, and keen understanding of what makes RoboCop so great in the first place has made it one of the biggest surprises of 2023 for me. In a year full of absolute bangers, make sure you spend some time in Detroit.

Pretty low scores. Good thing i skipped this.
The scores are better than Terminator Resistance by the same team and that was a solid 7. It may be a bit unpolished but I wouldn't skip it fully. Wait for a sale.

Sadly some reviewers are scoring lower due to having honest cops which seems too far fetched. That's the unrealistic thing in a game and not the cyborg policeman part 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂

I love how game reviewers behave when there are no cheques or briefcases in between. Specially if you are an AA studio.

You just can't win with them. They will nitpick every little thing under the sun. But never call out Rockstar for their 2004 on rails style mission design, or tap A to run mechanic. From Software for their terrible tech or Nintendo AAA first party for anything.

Yeah thts why 70 avg games can be goldmines in fun factor and just really seem better than their score (here's looking at you "Days Gone".

Terminator Resistance was a good Terminator game. Teyon treated the source material with love and respect. They told a story that was a Terminator story unlike the last two-three terminator movies. Robocop looks fun and I will definitely pick up down the road.
