- RoboCop Unfinished Business’ reviews are finally coming out, hogging only an unexpected average of 67 critic scores.
- The game also only sits at a 69 top critic average on OpenCritic, with reviewers highlighting fun gunplay held back by other elements.
- The sequel focuses on the OmniTower, but bad animations and generic NPCs make it difficult to enjoy the more linear experience.
Fun single-player shooters are always welcomed with open arms in the gaming scene, and RoboCop Unfinished Business is shaping up to be that next experience. The first game won over a lot of fans with gory, no-nonsense combat, so the sequel has had big shoes to fill.
The reviews for the sequel are finally coming out, which confirm some of the fans’ greatest fears. The game’s combat is a definite upgrade over the original, especially with the all-new cryo cannon, but it quickly devolves into a 10-hour monotonous corridor shooter.
Why it matters: After the success of the original RoboCop Rogue City entry, fans were expecting the team to elevate every aspect of the sequel. The gunplay is as satisfying as ever, but a lack of exploration and bad animations dampen the rest of the experience.
The game currently only has an average of 67 critic scores on Metacritic, while it boasts 69 on OpenCritic. Here are some critical reviews from major media outlets:
- Xbox Mag 8/10
- Cultured Vultures 7/10
- PlayStation Universe 7/10
- PushSquare 6/10
- IGN 6/10
- Video Gamer 5/10
The new mini-sequel takes place in the infamous OmniTower, where RoboCop has to fight hordes of enemies with cutting-edge weapons on each floor. You also get to experience and play the slow, methodical flashbacks of RoboCop when he was just a normal police officer.
However, they don’t take much away from the action-oriented gameplay. The game’s constant barrage of gunfights does feel like a routine after a while, since there is not much exploration to lean back on this time around.
This standalone follow-up is disappointingly rough around the edges, and although its comically violent combat remains satisfying, it’s not varied enough to elevate the entire action-heavy campaign.

This flaw has been one of the biggest criticisms in reviews; paired with bad NPC acting and awkward facial animations, the mixed scores quickly become obvious.
The drop in overall quality is a major concern for the new sequel. So, RoboCop Unfinished Business is a definite try for fans of the original game, as long as these mishaps can be ignored. The game is launching on 17 July 2025, for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5.
