In a world dominated by rapid technological advancements, nostalgia has a peculiar way of grounding us. The revival of Alex Murphy, the titular RoboCop, takes gamers on a riveting journey through the neon-lit streets of Old Detroit. Developer Teyon’s latest creation, “RoboCop: Rogue City”, stands as a testament to their dedication to creating a genuine digital embodiment of the iconic Cyborg crime-fighter.
“They have certainly delivered, and fans and critics alike have been singing its praises during its early access ahead of a full release.”
But there’s more to this game than a mere trip down memory lane.
More Than Just Bullets and Explosions
The allure of RoboCop: Rogue City isn’t just rooted in its action-packed sequences. Sure, the thrill of gun-blazing combat remains an integral part of the experience, but the game shines most in the nuances of its side quests. These allow players to immerse themselves fully in the labyrinthine world of Old Detroit.
“Part of the charm is that the game isn’t all shooting. There are loads of side quests that see you doing all sorts and let you get lost in the carefully crafted world of Old Detroit.”
Players stand to gain additional XP, vital for leveling up RoboCop’s capabilities, from these side quests. Every quest is a new opportunity, and there’s no shortage of them!
