RoboCop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business

While more of RoboCop: Rogue City is definitely welcome, this stand alone follow-up cannot reach the same heights as the original. Mostly confined to the corridors of the Omnitower, it lacks the finesse of roaming the streets of Old Detroit. Exchanging the joys of ticketing an ill-parked car for a splatterfest, Unfinished Business resembles a continuous shooting range a bit too much.

RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business is a good sequel to the original game, but perhaps it works better as a full-fledged DLC rather than a standalone expansion. Still, the title manages to satisfactorily continue RoboCop's fight against Detroit's crime, even if occasionally some heads don't explode as intended.

Unfinished Business is pretty much a full game in an expansion’s clothing, likely not billed as one due to the single location and lack of story relevance. The premise and new toys are cool, but the brevity of touted additions like ED-209 is disappointing and OmniTower can get too samey. Lovers of Rogue City will get good mileage out of it though, even if it won’t blow anyone away.

Robocop Rogue City Unfinished Business is a bit of a "same old, same old" in a condensed format that gets right to the heart of the matter: more fun, more excitement, more action... And well, that's pretty good as it is.

RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business offers a tighter, more compact take on the original. While the story remains fairly shallow, this puts the focus on gameplay, with new weapons, enemies, and executions that help elevate the experience. Returning players will know what to expect and likely enjoy what’s on offer, but if the base game didn’t win you over, there’s nothing here that will change your mind. While it doesn’t reinvent anything, Unfinished Business is a satisfying extension for those eager to jump back into RoboCop’s boots.

RoboCop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business is more of the same, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The combat is excellent, the new setting is fun, and Peter Weller is back!

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

For fans, Unfinished Business is a rather blunt but entertaining piece of fan service. Everyone else should think twice before buying.

RoboCop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business sets out its stall just by virtue of its title and has enough in the tank to provide for a worthwhile outing, particularly at its lower price point. For those who found a lot to love in the preceding Rogue City, you'll find something very similar here, which is not nearly as much to its detriment as it is to its good.

Another loving homage to the glory of RoboCop and despite only being a standalone expansion this features quite a few new ideas, as well as some hugely satisfying combat.

RoboCop: Rogue City Unfinished Business feels as fun as the first game by offering interesting additions that reinforce the affection for the 1980s cyborg cop. However, the feeling of repetition and lack of variety persists despite the new features. In addition, its technical flaws and bugs weigh down the final result more than necessary.

RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business won’t disappoint fans of the 2023 shooter simply wanting more pulpy shootouts in a dystopian Detroit. And perhaps as a standalone experience and not a true sequel, Unfinished Business is passable. But a lack of fresh ideas and a safe setting lack the humanity found within the cold confines of RoboCop’s hardened steel.

RoboCop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business is a lot of fun. I honestly did want more RoboCop, and that’s exactly what I got. Sure, you don’t get to ticket cars this time, but you do get to resolve disputes between neighbours and tell punks to make your day! I just wish that it didn’t have so many major issues.

But at least there's less of the narrative mush to wade through this time, and if we start to flag late on, much is forgiven when Unfinished Business grants us control of an ED-209. [Issue#414, p.122]

You can't really go wrong with Unfinished Business if you enjoyed its underrated predecessor, but expectations need to be kept in check. This standalone follow-up is disappointingly rough around the edges, and although its comically violent combat remains satisfying, it's not varied enough to elevate the entire action-heavy campaign. Still, we're never going to say no to more Rogue City. Teyon still manages to capture the campy 80s spirit of RoboCop here, and that'll drive most players to the top of OmniTower.

RoboCop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business offers another serving of ultra violence to indulge in but doesn’t do much by way of new spins on the original’s action. It’s a form of mindless fun that’s as familiar as it is ferocious.
