It scratched an itch I didn't know I had
First off - this is THE best RoboCop game out there. Does that say much? Not really, since all the other ones sucked, but I think this game was done right, considering the budget.
Hiring Peter Weller to do the voice was a stroke of brilliance, IMO - it avoids the awkwardness that RoboCop3 (the movie) had with that other actor sounding completely off + Weller did a great job, in my opinion!
Throughout the game you will find very accurate, almost 1:1 replicas of movie scenes/interiors/actions/weapons, which makes this game feel right at home. Obviously Detroit had to be shrunken down a bit to make it into a feasible "AA" game, but the spirit is there.
Gameplay - it can feels low, but you can press Shift to sprint around, space to dash (once you get the skill) - it's not as bad as people say. Shooting is fun, the gore is satisfying, popping headshots with a mouse feels awesome. The weapon upgrade mechanic is, in my opinion, one of the better ones I've seen in games in recent years (you don't jist craft an upgrade - you modify the weapon to suit your playstyle)!
It's a UE5 game, great assets, I played it at 4K maxed on my 4090 - it looks fantastic! The animations are not the best, but I totally forgot about them when I was immersed in the story/action, honestly.
Now regarding people having crashes - I had NONE (pretty sure my friend who also plays had none either). It's a system issue with people's rigs, I'd imagine, because I can't explain the odd complaints otherwise. A couple of people not being able to sort their rigs out (or having incompatible software/hardware) shouldn't stop you from trying this game, especially with GOG's generous refund policy.
Someone here also mentioned motion sickness - again, skill issue. You can turn off the view bobbing in the settings (why didn't they check before moaning?) and you can widen the FOV to 100 in the settings or more (I have mine at 120) via an ini tweak.
Overall a great game, I really enjoyed it - money well spent!
