RoboCop: Rogue City Review

 

Take if for what it is: 4/5 PC, 4.5 on consoles

              This game you feel like RoboCop. That is mostly the review right there! However, there are some issues I had while playing the game that kept it from being a 5/5. Let’s start with all of the positives this game has going for it, which are many!

              The story is awesome! It feels like it was done with the original writers of RoboCop 1 and 2 movies. You can take the story and characters and feel they are right at home in the RoboCop universe. The controls are spot on too and you feel like a walking giant stomping around the city and move like you’re about to bring scumbags to justice! The shooting is on point, and I love the few abilities you have that really make this game feel like this small developer team put all of their hearts and soul into it. It is also incredible this small team did what they did with the graphics engine! Being an UE5 game, it plays well on XSX, XSS, PS5, and PC. You cannot go wrong with any system you buy it on and it looks amazing for what they did.

              However, the only things that are keeping it from being a 5/5 are the bugs, save issues, and checkpoints. On console, I did not really have any issues and on consoles besides the checkpoint issues. Checkpoints are kind of annoying in this game. I feel the devs were unsure exactly how and where to make saves since they did not want to overwrite player choices and let players go back, but it is clunky. I feel if they had a manual save feature to at least let you have 5-10 manual saves, this would have resolved the lengthy checkpoints. Even playing on consoles, I would have to make sure I played an extensive time since I would not see a checkpoint for quite some time.

              On PC, oh boy, there were quite a few bugs, crashes, and save corruption. I had to replay half the game over again because when I tried it on my Steam Deck it corrupted my save files and I lost my progress. I believe they fixed the Steam Deck cross save issues, but sometimes you might still have a broken save file you will need to go back on. Also, DLSS is broken right now and when I have it enabled the game continues to crash. I just turned it off and use vsnc and it works fine. These are minor issues but really keep the game from being truly great.

Space Marine 2 Review

 Take if for what it is: 3.5/5 This is another live service game. This is a difficult review for me since I love Space Marine and Space Marine 2 is an awesome game with Titus (one of my favorite protagonists), however, I have to be honest with this one at the same time. It also started out rough being more of a grind even on normal difficulty. It has gotten better and the story/single player campaign is still worthy of a playthrough. However, it is like Helldivers, Diablo IV and other live service games. The game can change at anytime and any moment. Right now, they decreased the grind and made it more bearable compared to before when it first released. It is another issue/problem with these live service games. They can be great or bad within just one-two weeks. I am putting this right here since it needs to be known about this game being more of a live service game than a single player/split multiplayer game like the original. I personally enjoy going through the single play...

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Review

  Take if for what it is: 4/5 A little janky and controller dead zones are being worked right now by the developer. However, if you can get by this, the game itself is amazing. I did not finish the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. back in the day but I still loved it. I went to MP gaming for a bit and never went back to it but once I saw the trailer to this game I knew I wanted to play it as soon as it was released. I knew it was going to have tons of bugs being such a large story driven open-world, but I am still enjoying it! The characters, the world, the enemies, everything in it is created and fine-tuned with a team that is passionate about the series and that they were able to finish this while being at war with Russia is just incredible. The PC edition and the Xbox edition have been running fine for me besides some performance issues which the dev has already started to fix. Again, wait to buy if you prefer to have a fully polished game or have a low-end PC since it does require...
