Brilliant point and click adventure horror game. Better than the first Stasis with a gripping sci-fi thriller story and engaging characters who you generally care about. The atmosphere and tension is expertly crafted, the setting takes clear inspiration from Alien with it's grim future aesthetics, and Event Horizon with it's visceral gothic horror.

The gameplay is simple point and click adventure fare (pick up, combine/dissemble item, search everything) but the environmental puzzle solving is excellent with logical solutions for the patient, thorough players. There is a hint system if you get frustrated, but you can disable the hints in options.

The graphics are good with lots of really detailed, quality pre-rendered backgrounds, and nicely animated characters. The cutscenes are a bit janky looking through this is a small development team behind this Indie title. The voice actors put in great performances, elevating the drama and suspense, many AAA game characters pale in comparison.

Highly recommend!

Gaming Addition is Real! 200+ hours played should say it all. A dream game for players with any kind of OCD.

Great gory zombie slaying fun. Solid Unreal Engine Graphics and Performance, the facial animations really impress. More enjoyable then Dying Light 2 though not as deep story wise. Must install Epic Games Launcher, but you don't need to launch game through Epic. Apart from that Dead Island 2 is a good time, think KFC but with zombies, quick, simple but tasty.

Game is much more optimised for PC now. On Epic graphics at 1440p with Ray tracing, Nvidia frame generation and DLSS 3.0 performance enabled, I am reaching 145 FPS MAX / 70 degrees C on a RTX 4090 / 7950X. The game is very RAM hungry, on the visual settings shown the game is using 20GB RAM and 14GB VRAM! I only have Afterburner, ICUE, Steam and Steelseries GG running in the background so the game does require at least 32GB of system memory I would say.

The game is great fun too, don't bother with Star Wars Outlaw and Ubisoft+, play the better Steam based Star Wars open world action RPG - Jedi Survivor! EA play works in the background, you don't even have to touch it if you have your Steam account already linked to EA.

A great sequel!

Robocop: Rogue City is a love letter to the movies and is a solid (if sometimes janky) game to boot. The best part is the attention to detail, every character and set from Robocop 1 & 2 has been lovingly recreated for the game. Everything from Robocop himself to ED-209 to the West Detroit Police Station looks identical to their movie counterparts. The legacy sound effects are spot on too, Robocop's Auto-9 gun, his motor noises and foot steps sound perfect.

Glad Teyon had the guts to use liberal amounts of the original RoboCop soundtrack instead of completely ignoring the original score and pumping the game full of their own background music like lots of other movie based games and franchise movie reboots do. Nostalgia is a huge positive for the game, and I'm pleased to report the game has some juicy Easter eggs peppered across the levels, Chefs kiss love 'em all!

Peter Weller returns to voice Robocop which is great, thankfully his voice is on point after nearly 34 years since Robocop 2. This is nit picking but what lets his outing as Robo down a tad is his dialogue script which isn't Weller's fault, he doesn't write the thing. His dialogue could've been a bit more badass with cool one liners and some levity as Murphy/RoboCop did open up in RC2 if you remember the film (I don't mean the goofy scenes when he goes haywire).

The level of voice acting in the game all in all is good enough for a AA game I have heard a lot worse in some AAA games (Starfield LOL). The story is good, better than RoboCop 3 which isn't saying much but trust me it's way better. However, like with RC3 the on-screen storytelling is let down by the cast or more specifically in this case the NPC's.

Characters like Lewis, Sargent Reed and the CEO of OCP "The Old Man" look screen accurate but sadly their dialogue is unimaginative, and not helped by the fact the voice actors used don't sound anything like the movie actors. The douchebag OCP director Becker is the best written character in the game, he feels the closest to what you would expect a RoboCop human character should be like, an arrogant A-hole with a sick sense of humour.

The villain is meh though! The writers should've really had fun with this guy, you know, given him the attitude and dark humour you saw with Clarence Bodicker but alas they didn't, he could've been gripping and memorable.

Graphics are excellent when you consider the price of the game. Unreal Engine 5 produces amazing lighting and textures it's a good looking game for sure. The quality of the environments and visual effects are offset negatively by awkward character models, cringe facial animations and bad lip syncing, the characters mouth movements don't match the English dialogue, you would think you were playing a dubbed over Japanese game.

PC performance is good at 1440p on my MSI 4090, I am getting a solid 150 fps average on Epic preset with DLSS on. However, GPU temps are really bad on this game, on Cyberpunk 2077 at 2160p 120Hz with High preset & DLSS on I see maximum GPU temperatures of 65*C but on Robocop I am touching 80*C within 15 minutes.

Combat is fun and you have access to some cool skills like Ricochet, Slow-Mo, and Stun which spice up the action and there is just enough variation in enemy types to keep this relatively short game interesting. There is a good variety of your run of the mill ballistic weapons which all feel good to fire including the excellent Auto-9. I love how you can collect motherboards for the Auto-9 and upgrade it with nodes that unlock many bonuses like armour piercing, full auto mode and bullet spread. Unfortunately no futuristic laser weapons or fancy grenades but when you think about it this does make sense for a game oozing with 1987 movie nostalgia.

The gameplay is faithful to Robocop, you feel slow and heavy and walking distances takes time which is exactly how it should be, Robocop is not Rambo or John Wick so don't go in thinking you can play this like you would COD or Cyberpunk 2077. Out of combat gameplay is fun if a little basic, you have dialogue options, miscellaneous police jobs, a shooting range, hidden areas to explore, exposition documents to pad out the story and XP boosting evidence to find. I would've liked some collectables and lore literature to find as well but never mind. The most recent update adding some game completion weapon skins and New Game + which gives the game some much needed replay value.

The music is good when it plays especially the Robocop theme but the one thing I didn't like is when you're out of combat the game is very quiet, there is really faint BGM or sometimes none at all and there is next to no ambient noises. For example; the streets of old Detroit BGM is barely audible when it even plays, all you can hear ambience wise is the Highway above and the odd distant police siren, there are no AC units humming on apartment buildings, no buzzing from street lights, no homeless people talking, no cracking from fire barrels, no river water lapping, no splashes when you walk through puddles, no litter crashing about and no distant gunshots or screams, everything just sounds a bit lifeless. Cutscenes are awkwardly devoid of any ambience too.

Lastly, the story is above average and the game has no game breaking bugs, there are a few graphical glitches like texture pop-in during cutscenes, shadows not rendering properly at times and the odd background light source clipping through foreground objects e.g I saw a squad cars red and blues shining through a SWAT captains face.

I highly recommend Rogue City to every Robocop fan out there and I would also recommend it to any story driven FPS fan who enjoys COD campaigns, Far Cry 6, Halo Infinite or Starfield just don't expect the solid quest variety, sound design and voice acting you would get in those $60/$70 AAA titles.

I would recommend buying this pleasant point and click game but only when it is on sale because though charming it's a very short game with simple puzzles. I got it at 33% off at £11.39 and I am glad I only paid that, it's not worth a full £16.99 in my opinion.

The art design is nice, the story and characters are sweet and the music is good. The plot is as basic as it comes and the dialogue is quirky but the jokes are vanilla AF.

It's a no brainer buy if you like charming point and clicks but don't pay more than £11.39, there just isn't enough game here to warrant the full asking price especially when you can buy Primordia for less.

A great point and click adventure game with quirky puzzles and very funny comedy. Monkey Island style puzzles with the best comedy I have laughed to in a point and click game.

Elden Ring Is my favourite game of all time now. This is the best Action RPG I have ever played and blows every other Action RPG out of the water. Forget Assassins Creed, Forget Bioshock, Forget God of War, Forget Mass Effect 2, Forget Skyrim and Forget Witcher 3. Elden Ring is the new king.

A true masterpiece, it's epic and beautiful to look at, the freedom to go anywhere is fantastic, their are so many surprises and secrets, exploration is really fun and you're not bogged down with collectables to find and endless fetch quests. The game after the tutorial cave never holds your hand, no map markers showing you exactly were to go and no objectives.

Like all Soulsborne this game is hard but if you're struggling with a boss you can ride off on Torrent and grind runes to level up before trying that tricky boss again. The combat is FROM software's best I think it is the perfect balance of all the other FROM software titles, more intense than DS3 but not as frenetic and punishing like Sekiro.

Their is a good mix of bosses with some extremely challenging ones but unlike previous FROM games some bosses are easy. Several bosses have 2 phases and some have added challenge like adding debuffs, being invisible or having backup. Their are plenty of field bosses and tough enemy groups roaming around and night time you will find some even tougher field bosses. The main story is typical FROM, you can follow the fundamental story but it's dense and will take multiple play through's and online lore explanations to truly grasp the full story.

Elden Ring is now the benchmark for all future open world action RPG's. The game respects the player and rewards you for your curiosity and patience. You are free to tackle the game anyway you want and the games challenge makes it even sweeter when you see the credits roll. Wow, what a game and I still have some hidden endings to unlock in New Game +.

I really recommend this cool little Indie puzzle game though be aware it is only 2 hours long. It's funny how I completed it in only 115 minutes and could have still been eligible for a refund. I am not going to refund though that would be an unfair thing to do because Papetura is a fun, charming game and has obviously been made by some talented people. The puzzles are simple but fun to solve and quirky. The main appeal is the world design, it's all real miniature sets made from paper and cardboard. You can tell it's "real" just as you could tell Wallace and Gromit animations were made from real modelling clay. The character and creatures are well animated with some real imaginative designs. There is a very basic story which is very cute and put a smile on my face. It's a short puzzle game but for the creative talent on show and the games charm it's worth every penny in my book.
