Far from perfect but kinda perfect for exactly what it is. Cover shooter this ain't, you strut into shootouts and lay waste to anyone in your way, just the way Robocop ought to be. The upgrades to both Robo and the Auto 9 help to make you feel even more powerful as the enemies get stronger with more firepower. And the Auto 9 feels amazing, especially with the upgrade that gets rid of reloading altogether. There's tons of other guns around you can pick up and use, but you could ignore them altogether and just clean house with the trusty Auto 9 no problem.

Aside from a few areas you can do some side quests in, it's mainly a simple linear game which I do admire - something about games that just have you walk here, open this door, kill these guys, that I really like. Throw me a vast open world map with a million things to do every now and then, but point me in a straight line and have me kill whatever's in my path and I appreciate the good old fashioned simple nature of what is expected of you - the same reason why I really liked Evil West.

If you're a fan of Robocop this is definitely something you should experience all the way through for the attention to detail and nods and references. And it's also a really easy and fun Platinum as well, mostly quest related and sometimes random miscellaneous combat challenges in there too.
