Building on the fantastically thematic RoboCop: Rogue City, Teyon and Nacon’s RoboCop: Unfinished Business<\/strong> is a standalone<\/strong>, definitely not DLC<\/strong>, not expansion…that admittedly feels like a DLC expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RoboCop: Unfinished Business Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

On that note, RoboCop: Unfinished Business takes everything from RoboCop: Rogue City<\/a>, the good and the bad, and thrusts it into an entirely new story in a new setting with new characters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a welcome change from the well-trodden source material fans are familiar with, and at less than half the price of modern AAA games, it’s another easy excuse to dive into the world of RoboCop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The sprawling OCD complex is a mix of incredibly interesting and incredibly dull sections<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Almost the entire game, bar a few flashback scenes, takes place in OCP’s latest project to “aid the people of Detroit:” The OmniTower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A towering self-contained complex very similar to the Mega Blocks of the Judge Dredd universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Criminal gangs and mercenaries litter the upper floors, while the citizens of Detroit struggle to stay alive in the slum-like conditions of the lower levels. It’s a fascinating setting from a narrative standpoint, but it does struggle to impress in the early hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a mixed bag of mundane hallways, each looking more similar to the last, and fantastically crafted set-piece locations that lean into the explosive and rewarding nature of the game’s combat system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By definition of the structure itself, the entire game feels like running a gauntlet. Room of bad guys, corridor, room of bad guys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A repetitive mission structure that would struggle in almost any other game, not many other games have the Auto-9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Auto-9
The Auto-9 was Rogue City’s best feature and it returns with a bang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Although RoboCop: Unfinished Business boasts an impressive arsenal of weapons – everything from a minigun to an experimental cryo cannon – it often feels like a downgrade compared to RoboCop’s trusted side arm, the aforementioned Auto-9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rewarding customization system was a standout feature of RoboCop: Rogue City, and it returns in RoboCop: Unfinished Business with more complex and satisfying customization than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While exploring the OmniTower, RoboCop can find new chips and boards to unlock the potential of the Auto-9. What begins as a sluggish, low-impact solution to Detroit’s crime spree eventually becomes one of the most devastating weapons the genre has ever seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carefully combining and discovering new chips to unlock new abilities, carefully navigating the upgrade tree to avoid harsher penalties. It’s a system that can transform the game in a heartbeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
Detective sequences return, but suffer from the same lack of depth and variety as Rogue City<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When RoboCop<\/strong> isn’t separating mercenaries from their limbs, he does dabble in his lesser-known side hustle: actual police work. The detective sequences from RoboCop: Rogue City return, albeit with a familiar lack of depth and conviction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigating the scene of a crime or inspecting a body for clues on the cause of death is reduced to little more than a find-the-object game, if the object is a glowing green question mark. It’s frustration-free, you won’t be spending 10 minutes stuck in a tiny space looking for that last stupid clue to progress, but it does feel like a missed opportunity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gunplay
Flashback scenes offer a welcome respite from the gauntlet style content, focusing on narrative over action<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Offering a brief respite from the combat-filled gauntlet-style progress of the main missions are a couple of flashback missions that provide players with more insight into the events that led up to the Unfinished Business story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are short missions, but well-delivered, with a slightly different take on combat and exploration without RoboCop’s suite of impressive tools. I would have loved to see more of Alex Murphy on his regular beat, as regular as it can be in this Detroit, but it’s a great way of embracing iconic characters in a new and intriguing setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RoboCop: Unfinished Business is another action-filled romp through a beloved universe, although one that struggles to truly set itself apart from its predecessor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
