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.

ASTRO’s Playroom Review

  Take it for what it is: 5/5 This game is incredibly cool and one of the best PS5 experiences I have played so far. I know a lot of people say it is just a tech demo, or too short etc. screw them. Sorry, just my opinion, but this is a fully fleshed out game that showcases the PS5’s capabilities. First off, this game is a homage to the PlayStation’s entire ecosystem and journey through it’s life. I love all systems, Xbox, Nintendo, and PC, but I will admit, I did grow up playing PlayStation and I understood a lot of the easter eggs and references. Besides this being an advertisement for PlayStation brand and the PS5, the actual game is great. The puzzles are well thought out, flow well and really make use of the Dual Sense controller. The haptics and full effects of the controller and capabilities are showcased here. There was not a level or world I was not enjoying myself. The graphics are top notch also. Truly a great showcase of just the early stages of PS5 development. ...

Killing Floor 2 Review

  Take if for what it is: 5/5 One of the most underrated multiplayer games out there. I will admit, Helldivers 2 made me go back to this game again, and this game is an absolute blast! The devs always add new content that keep this game fresh. This game still plays like old school co-op games. Hop in, blow some shit up, and have a blast doing it! Unlike Helldivers and other co-op games with no PvP at all and continual nerfs, KF2 devs just keep making the game fun and everyone is overpowered/a blast to play. Higher difficulties get tough, but again, the main game can fully be enjoyed without ever even touching a suicide difficulty level. The developers truly keep this as a co-op game that is about hopping in with friends or random people and having fun killing stuff. With all of the classes, levels, secrets, and tons of other content. Too many companies are making PvE co-op games competitive and lose the aspect of enjoyment in a PvE game. This one has the developers always del...

Helldivers II Review

Take if for what it is: 3/5 The game is OK now, but still not fun for me anymore. Many people still love it and I have friends who love playing it, but it is too much of a time investment and grind/work for me. To each their own and buy it at your own risk. Again, this is a live service game so take that into consideration and know Sony and other live service companies are trying to get you to spend your life playing these games. It is OK and being a former WoW player they are great at times, but right now, it is not for me. I still prefer Back 4 Blood, L4D, Aliens Fireteams, KF2 and others I can hop in, kill stuff, and then leave. They do not have the content these full live service games have, but again, you can hop in them, and then bounce and do not need to play 10-20 hours a week to keep up. It reminds me of Outriders. When it released, it was pretty awesome and then the devs started to cater to the streamers and people who spend 5-10 hours a day playing the same game over and ove...
