  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 sm...

Take if for what it is: 4.5/5 OK so yeah, I know the new one is coming out tomorrow, but screw it I am late to the party. I just finished this one (yes again the old one that everyone has played except me…). It is freaking awesome. An amazing experience that I really enjoyed. The game starts off with a nice intro and a story that pulls you in quickly. I do wish there was a bit more on some characters, but they were keeping it short and focused. It is still probably one of the best Star Wars stories since the Empire Strikes back. Again, my opinion here, I like all of the old ones and even prequels, but screw Disney’s new 7-9 which I just did not like, and the TV shows are meh. Just my opinions. Alright, enough of going off topic and those are for another day. This story is awesome, and I highly recommend just playing through Story mode if you just want to enjoy a good Star Wars story. The gameplay and graphics are also good for how old this game is. The controls work well too, and you f...

Take it for what it is: 3.5/5 So I have beaten this game on both consoles, and I really enjoyed it. Is it astounding and incredible? No, is it a triple A blockbuster, no. However, it is a good space arcade game with an OK story. I mainly was drawn in by the trailer focusing on the game play and weird story. I try to take games for what they are and not what I want/what I believe they should be etc. This game overall is a fun 20-35 hour arcade experience that if you just sit back and relax and have fun, the weird story and game play you might find fun. Also, I will admit, it gets annoying with the encounters interrupting characters dialogue while exploring and wish they would finish dialogue before a random encounter occurs. Definitely check out some gameplay/trailers and if it interests you, you might enjoy it. An OK game overall and it plays great on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.

Take it for what it is: 4/5  I am replaying it on PC having finished it on console. It is actually a good game and is what I expected. The melee system is a little clunky at times with multiple enemies but works well with single encounters. A little tweak like a dodge indicator for multiple enemies similar to Shadow of Mordor/War, Batman Arkham series, and other similar melee combat games and the combat would be fluid. The story, settings, art direction, and atmosphere are good. The animations are the best I have ever seen and Striking Distance truly made use of their Mo-Cap studio. This is possibly the most Next-Gen game I have played by far. People also complained it was short, but I prefer shorter, story focused games than a bunch of item collecting/filler on a large map (very few of those checklist games I even completed 100%). It took me about 11.5 hours to finish and it felt fine in length to me. I do wish it had more variety though. It was good overall but more enemy type...
