It's not AAA and it shows, but it really does not matter. The actual decision-making and narrative are stellar. The world-building and the historic dive into the 1905 revolution-era Warsaw are fantastic.
It's an interesting isometric game from a South African studio, heavily drawing from South African lore in terms of the plot. Like most reviews say - the artistic design is fantastic, however the gmeplay can get snoozy at times. It's worth seeing it to the finish though as the story leaves you wanting to reflect on the many moral dilemmas and choices. I don't think this game is for everyone but I enjoyed it.
I would have given this game a five star rating, because the developers truly put their heart into recreating the atmosphere and the world of the original Robocop films (1987-1993). It's at a similiar level to Alien Isolation in terms of capturing the atmosphere and adjusting the gameplay to the gory dystopian setting of the original material. The gunfights are savage and the plotline is excellent, even if a bit long. The big 'however' is its technical design. It's truly abysmall that I could not run it without crashes on a November 2023 gaming laptop build. It's just bad programming and lazy tech QC on an otherwise excellent product. Couple that with no manual saving and you have an explosive mix guaranteed to infuriate your customers. I could forgive this only because I really liked the gameplay and I love Robocop.
