Robocop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business Delivers Familiar Action with Performance Hiccups
The latest expansion for Robocop: Rogue City,titled “Unfinished Business,” offers players a return to the gritty streets of Detroit,but not without some technical drawbacks. While the game boasts extraordinary environmental details and a strong atmosphere,occasional stuttering and performance issues mar the experience.
The visual presentation in “Unfinished Business” is a mixed bag. Some areas showcase stunning and detailed environments, demonstrating impressive technology. However, othre sections suffer from a more monotonous and “plastic” aesthetic. A significant issue is the game’s tendency to momentarily freeze, especially during knockdown sequences, which are presented as short cutscenes. These freezes can also occur in other gameplay moments, disrupting the flow. while longer gameplay stretches can run smoothly, these performance hiccups are noticeable and can be distracting.
Despite these technical flaws, “unfinished Business” successfully captures the core essence of the Robocop experience. The atmosphere is well-realized, with stylish presentation and strong voice acting. The combat remains engaging,offering a satisfying challenge even for the resilient Robocop.
though, the expansion falls short in some areas compared to the main game. The lack of freedom to patrol Detroit or return to the police station between missions contributes to a more monotonous structure. While the action is fun, it can feel overly streamlined and simplified, diminishing some of the entertainment value. The addition of new skill elements or detective work would have made “Unfinished Business” feel more like a ample new chapter rather than a DLC/sequel hybrid.
Ultimately, “Unfinished Business” provides a fun, albeit flawed, return to the Robocop universe. While it may not reach the heights of the original game, it successfully allows players to once again embody the iconic cyborg lawman.
