I’ll be honest, I had my doubts about RoboCop: Unfinished Business. A game stuck inside one giant building? Sounded like it might fall short. But damn, this game shut me up fast—it’s a brilliant tribute to the original RoboCop that nails every single detail. The soundtrack is pure gold, channeling that ‘80s synth energy with pulsing action tracks and creepy, atmospheric tones. It feels ripped straight from the original movie, setting the perfect vibe for every intense firefight or quiet, tense moment. The single-building setting could’ve been a drawback, but it’s a masterpiece. From cold, corporate boardrooms to grimy maintenance shafts and high-tech security posts, every corner drips with retro-futuristic, capitalist-hell vibes. Details like propaganda posters and flickering terminals make the world feel alive and oppressive, staying 100% true to the original’s sharp, satirical edge. You start as a clunky, cyborg, but as you upgrade, you become an unstoppable killing machine. Unlocking enhanced targeting, brutal melee moves, or tactical hacks feels natural and empowering, keeping RoboCop’s essence while making you feel like a badass taking down corporate thugs. Performance-wise, it’s a dream. Running on Linux with Proton and a 3080, the game is buttery smooth, delivering high frame rates and snappy, responsive controls. No stutters, no lag—just pure, fluid action that lets you stay locked in.
Atlas Fallen offers a promising combat system, with fluid, fast-paced action that makes for enjoyable battles. However, the game’s potential is largely squandered due to a weak story and underdeveloped world. The plot feels generic and lacks emotional depth, failing to engage players beyond the basics. While the open world is visually striking, it feels empty and devoid of meaningful exploration or surprises. Much of the game’s potential is left untapped, leading to a repetitive experience. For Linux users, the game runs smoothly on Proton, which is a rare plus. However, the biggest issue is the inexplicable disabling of co-op mode when using the offline installer, making the game feel incomplete. This frustrating flaw, possibly DRM-related, significantly hampers the experience, especially for those looking forward to multiplayer gameplay.
