So I decided to buy it and I don't regret it. After six hours of gameplay, I have to say that the game is fantastic! First of all the graphics are impressive. I haven't seen Alan Wake 2 in live action, but I believe RoboCop is a serious competitor. It falls short in terms of face animation, but every other aspect is phenomenal. Sure, the maps are quite small and the city is quite deserted, but the quality of other aspects, including atmosphere, is great. The textures, character faces (apart from their animations, as I mentioned) and the most important thing - lighting - are very detailed. The game runs on Unreal Engine 5 and takes all advantages from Lumen technology, which can produce a comparable effect to hardware Ray Tracing when it comes to lighting and reflections. I'm serious! The quality of reflections from RoboCop is comparable to path traced reflections from Cyberpunk 2077. Right now the game can serve as an example how to produce quality graphics with Unreal Engine 5.
Next thing, shooting. It's absolutely out of the roof! I remember Soldier of Fortune series which involved some serious injuries that you could inflict to enemies. It's basically the same in RoboCop, but with a lot of more detail thanks to modern computers. The hits a juicy and you can shoot off hands, legs and heads of your opponents. All of this comes with a very realistic rag doll effect. At first I wasn't impressed by the possibilities of RoboCop's main weapon, so I used weapons left by the enemies, but after I upgraded it, the pistol became a killing machine. The combat in this game is pure fun!
Of course the game doesn't focus solely on combat. You also carry out investigations, gather evidence and talk to people. These elements aren't as good as shooting, but are decent. There's also a quite vast character development system and weapon upgrade system. All these elements make RoboCop the biggest gaming surprise of 2023, right next to Aliens: Dark Descent. I want more!
