The endless sprawl<\/a> of modern action and action-adjacent games is a common source of frustration for me. While I admire the detailed, expansive worlds some of these games evoke, sometimes I just want to play a level-based game that feels like the slimmed-down action adventures of my youth. Which is why I was absolutely delighted with RoboCop: Rogue City<\/em>, a fun first-person shooter with very little excess, pushing you repeatedly into the action. It\u2019s currently one of PlayStation Plus\u2019 April games<\/a>, and it is free to download for PS Plus members until May 5. Grab it now, and it will stay in your library as long as you remain a member. (And if you\u2019re not, it\u2019s also currently on sale on Steam!)<\/p>\n

Rogue City <\/em>recreates the kitschy charm of Paul Verhoeven\u2019s all-time sci-fi classic, with a dark sense of humor, a heaping of extreme violence, and Peter Weller returning to voice Alex Murphy\/RoboCop. I could tell you about the game\u2019s narrative or setting (taking place in between RoboCop 2 <\/em>and 3<\/em>), but none of that is all that relevant to your enjoyment. The strength is in its gameplay, with satisfying shooter mechanics that play to RoboCop\u2019s extreme power. Enemies go flying when you shoot or punch them, giving the game a strong mix of power fantasy and physics-based humor.<\/p>\n
