SPOILERS THROUGHOUT!

Introduction

Being a gen-x 80’s kid I always try to find a way to learn about new video games that harken back to my childhood. I would say that Unfinished Business first and foremost is a Robocop video game (obviously) which ignites “1987” inside my brain. However, it does have quite of bit 2012 in it’s DNA from the movie Dredd starring Karl Urban which is one of my recent favorites.

The premise of Robocop Rogue City Unfinished Business is that you climb a mega tower called Omni Tower to stop a mercenary leader named Cassius Graves while helping a scientist named Miranda Hale. Flashback missions flesh out each character’s past.

Presentation

Robocop: Rogue City Unfinished Business’s presentation was terrible to be blunt. There were WAY too many bugs and glitches in this video game. To be more concise, there were way too many cutscenes with blacked out NPCs while talking.

There were way too many audio distortion sequences cobbled together in-game to a point you couldn’t hear Robocop’s weapon being fired or what the mercs were saying while getting Auto-9’nd down. So yeah, the presentation here was terrible but the game’s premise was amazing.

Story

You play as Robocop who’s called in to investigate an attack on Detroit PD where he sees the carnage left by a secret OCP cryo-weapon mercenary attack. Many police officers are dead yet Robocop manages to help Sergeant Warren Reed escape.

Reed tells Robocop to head to Omni Tower and retake OCP’s secret device that’s been stolen and stop the mercenaries who taken ahold of OmniTower. Along the way Robocop meets NPCs such as Stella, Steve and most importantly Miranda Hale who invented the OCP secret device. Story was meh as hell however I did like Miranda’s character.

Gameplay

This video game is a first person shooter played as the Robocop with a main unequip-able Auto-9 hand cannon (save for one mission) which is fully upgradable via a motherboard and various chips.

Robocop has weight as he’s titanium laminated with kevlar. You can grab, throw and punch through walls and mercs with ease which installs that power fantasy feeling while playing.

While climbing OmniTower in search of stopping Cassius Graves I ran into plenty of NPCs with dialogue trees that contain side quests. Unfinished Business’ gameplay loop of climbing OmniTower, NPC quest-givers and merc combat was solid.

Robocop has his own basic skill tree. Think health, combat and defense upgrades with two perks automatically unlocked through progression. You get a sequence to play as the infamous ED-209. So much fan service and plenty of easter eggs in-game.

Visuals

I played Robocop: Rogue City Unfinished Business on my base PS5. The game is average from an art and technical standpoint. The visual glitches didn’t help this game at all.

Sound | Music

Not much to write about here. There are moments of sythwave beats with ups and downs while destroying mercs as Robocop. Voiced dialogue would’ve been forgettable if it wasn’t for the legendary Peter Weller reprising his role to voice Robo.
