Just finished RoboCop Rogue City. I think - with doing almost all secondary objectives - it took me ~13 hours.
It has been on sale for $10, which is what I paid. It's normal price is $50. It is 100% not worth that amount. That is not a knock on the game as much as saying that it is about a $10 (20 tops) game.
If you have nostalgia (80/90s action movie kid here) for the source material then there is an added value.
Gameplay is simple. No cover, ducking, diving or jumping cause, ya know, you're RoboCop. Gunfights are satisfying and gory. But it is mostly corridor fights where you catch bullets, heal, unleash head pops and body blisters.
There are dialogue trees and relationships, but, honestly they feel inconsequential and it was super easy to intuit the answers for the "best" endings.
Also, I usually play a game on the default setting and save harder modes for replays. I played this game in hard setting and it never had much of a challenge. Even in Reddit people talked about how the final boss fight is difficult and incongruous with the difficulty of the rest of the game. This is somewhat accurate. I found the final boss fight to be more difficult and prolonged than anything else in the game. With that said, I still beat it on my second attempt.
I probably won't replay it. I cannot see myself drawn to revisit it or that it would not be a slog as another playthrough.
But at $10 I feel like it was money well spent. At $50 I would've felt like a rip off. At $20, which I've seen it before, I would've felt disappointed but not ripped off.
Overall 6/10
