Nice addition to Rogue City
I loved the first game and this one is a nice addition to it. In many ways it managed excellently to "bring more of the same". There is no need to play the first game but it comes handy to understand the game mechanics. The story is nothing super original but feels nice and entertaining. The game again has some "detective" parts but is mostly a shooter (I'd say like 70% shooter, 30% detective). The voice acting is nice, the humor works as sarcastic as it was in the first game (and in the TV movies) which makes the game entertaining. It is shorter though and the advertised 8 hours are correct. The game has some small issues that will be fixed soon I guess (e.g. the ragdolls are odd sometimes, some visual issues etc.) but there is nothing game breaking or crashing. The narration is shorter than in the first game and you are basically just thrown into the story. The first game gave more narration and detective story and also a bigger world (though you were revisiting many places). That made it more movie like whereas this is more like a shooter with some cut scenes. The side missions are not highly entertaining (most are of the "bring this" or "look for that" type) but then again this is not a real RPG game. It has some skills and upgrades (like the first game) but this is more a "nice to have". So don't expect an open world roleplaying game. So overall this game is really nice, delivering more of what I loved in the first game. After all there is a reason I've bought it immediately. It is giving a great athmosphere the (mostly same) great soundtrack and some neat backstory. The humor and the 80s feeling works well again. It is amazing for fans of the first one but if you haven't played neither of them I'd suggest you go with Rogue City first for its better storytelling.
Is this helpful to you?
