Traversing the mean streets of Detroit as a law-abiding cyborg in first-person shooter RoboCop: Rogue City has never been so enjoyable. When I was first let loose on the mean streets of Motor City, I was expecting intense firefights, impressive explosions, and cheesy one-liners. However, what I got was so much better than that.
As someone who grew up watching the RoboCop movies with their Dad, much of the deeper issues that the films addressed flew over my head, as my smaller self was mesmerized by the explosive gunfights and one-of-a-kind 80s action. However, rewatching these iconic films years later, I realized that RoboCop is more than action; it’s also a heartwarming story of someone trying to regain their humanity, sprinkled with a few satirical stumbles along the way.
