Hola, you party animals.

I finished it a couple of couple of hours ago.

In short, if you enjoyed Rogue City then you'll enjoy Unfinished Business just as much.

As I mentioned before, there's less fluff, although there's still a bit there. There's a few goofy side quests but there's a humour about a few of them that's firmly tongue in cheek. Weller's delivery is spot on, and managed to elicit a giggle out of me. There's also some decent story beats touching on Murphy's past and the RoboCop programme. Don't get me wrong, it's a little B Movie, as Rogue City was, but there we're a few parts mentioning Murphy's former life that added a serious tone. They slowed the pace in a good way. There are a couple of references to RoboCop 3, although I would have liked some more.

Gameplay wise, it's the same apart from a few new enemies and environmental takedowns. You see these enemies in the trailers, but I won't go into them too much as to not ruin it for those yet to play it. The skill tree is the same, although you start with two points in each category, so you can pull those tasty trick shots and all that from the get go. It does feel like you earn experience points quicker this time around.

The sounds are largely the same, although some of the music is very reminiscent of RoboCop and RoboCop 3, yet are original tracks. There's also some music that feels very Dredd, which given the scent of OmniTower, feels appropriate.

I am however disappointed with the lack of New Game Plus which was patched into Rogue City. It's a strange omission as you'd think Teyon would have implemented it seeing as it was a player requested feature originally. Fingers crossed they do the same. I want my power fantasy!

So yeah, I'd recommend it. But then again, I would say yet. Oh, and Archive. If you're reading this, you may or may not get to rescue another cat.

Right now I have only played about half of the game.
Playing it in short sessions so it doesn't become too repetitive and so far it very much feels like a DLC rather than an actual separate game. It's more of the same.
Some chaotic shootouts mixed with incredibly mundane side-quests which has Robo meet hideous NPCs and go on fetch quests from A to B and back to A.
( Still it's not as bad as in Rogue City where a side mission is getting someone a towel.... )

The story is nothing special as of yet, but has become a bit more interesting after the (much too short) Alex Murphy level. Playing as Murphy is a nice touch although as we're in first person it doesn't quite pack the same punch.

Haven't rescued any cats yet, but did have an opportunity to pet one. Nice!

But do you have to go door to door collecting for the Red Cross, or roasting marshmallows with some cub scouts?

I completed it and enjoyed it. My thoughts are pretty much the same as for Rogue City, as a RoboCop fan I loved it but as a gamer it still has some rough edges that hold it back from perfection. On the positive side, the combat feels a lot better in UB. There are way more enemies, armored enemies are much more common, and the enemy placement is what really makes it shine, with countless guys attacking you from every angle. The Cyro canon was more fun that I expected, and I loved the way it was incorporated into the story. The story itself was a bit better, as Graves was a much better villain than Wendell. I loved the brief moment you play as Alex Murphy, a great way to set up Graves as the villain. And the ED-209 part was sheer joy, a RoboCop experience I didn't know I needed until I got it. The gameplay of the ED-209 was surprisingly good, much better than many similar slapped on mech sections, like the recently released Doom: the Dark Ages which came to mind while playing it. The ED-209 section was short but oh so sweet. I would have loved another section or two with Murphy and ED-209, but for a glorified DLC just having these moments here really helped it stand out.

Unfinished Business feels like it improved some aspects of the original game, but a couple choices felt like a step backwards or just didn't work for me. The Otomo prototypes were rather disappointing to me. They looked cool and they were a great addition to set up RoboCop 3, but they are so weak that they posed no threat at all. I cut through them like butter while basic enemies shooting at me from behind the prototypes were much more threatening. I think this is just a balancing issue, and I think they need to patch the prototpyes to have much more health and do more damage with their attacks so they feel more relevant. That was my biggest complaint, though not having NG+ at launch is rather disappointing too. I also found the ending to be underwhelming. The ED-209 section is the true climax of the game, but. the last couple sections felt a bit rushed and lacking in excitement. The story just kind of ends exactly as you'd expect, quite abruptly, and doesn't stop to set up RoboCop 3 or anything like that. Rogue City took some time to cap off some characters stories and show the result of some of your choices. I was hoping for more RoboCop 3 love, and while the Otomo prototypes and the jetpack enemies were cool touches, they didn't add as much to the experience as I would have hoped.

Overall though, Unfinished Business was great and well worth the price. Rogue City went deeper into the lore and had a lot more references and connections to the movie. But I think I had more fun with Unfinished Business as a game. The increased focus on action kept it from dragging as Rogue City sometimes did, which will make Unfinished Business more replayable in the long run. When Rogue City was announced out of nowhere it felt like a dream come true, and Unfinished Business is the icing on the cake.

So that "morning routine" mission...
Playing not as Robo but a female character getting ready in the morning, going around her apartment and feeding her cat. What?

She is also voiced by the same woman that does ALL the female voices in the game. I guess Weller took all the voice money.

I gotta say, I thought it was interesting how Unfinished Business introduced a new character who is integral to the story, had a hand in Robo's creation, and is even playable in this new RoboCop game. They are also a person of color, and more diversity is always great.

A shame, then, that this new diverse character is such a pain in the ass. The section where you have to play as her was tedious, and killed the momentum the game had built up at that point. The other part where you play as a backcrossing mercenary wasn't much better, to be fair, but I did enjoy how it showed Robo's entrance into the building from a different POV.

Miranda's quest, on the other hand, puts you in the shoes of a idiot who can't do more than run away. I wasn't trying to be a hater, but this is a RoboCop game that puts you in the shoes of a character who is trying to exploit/destroy RoboCop. So obviously I'm not gonna be rooting for the lady who signs on board to work with a murderer to capture RoboCop. I'm a RoboCop fan, not a Miranda fan.

At the end of the day, its like 15 minutes of boredom at the worst. That part of the game does explain a lot of the plot and how everything came together. There are elements of it that work. But man, it really is a shame they only gave us a small slice of Murphy and a whole lot of Miranda. She's totally lame and the best part of her character is how Robo continually clowns on her when she begs to team up. Robo saw through her bullshit right away, and so did we.


There's no other way to say this: Unfinished Business pulled a Spider-Man 2 on us.

It has some VERY uneven levels. The parts where you don't play as Robo are the worst and a bore to get through, while the Murphy and ED-209 parts were great.

Overall it feels like they were either rushed or just uninspired when they made the game. The side quests are extremely basic. One mission towards the end has Robo helping a guy open a gate that is behind him. Go to the gate and press X. Mission over.

The whole running around looking for door access codes, which is basically the whole game, is absolutely stone age game design.

Much like Rogue City the game doesn't have a real fight with the bad guy. It is played out in a cutscene. And while Rogue city had a proper ending, with an epilogue, here the game just ends. No info what happened to the police Precinct, Lewis and Reed.

I give it some extra points for being a RoboCop game but overall it's a shaky 3 out of 5.
