RoboCop Rogue City is almost here as developer Teyon and publisher Nacon work toward its fall launch. If you’ve not heard of the RoboCop-inspired FPS, Rogue City follows the beloved part-human, part-robot police officer as he brings justice to Old Detroit. The game is based on the original trio of RoboCop films from the 80s. While the initial release date was delayed, you can now explore the ins and outs of RoboCop’s crime-ridden city for yourself with the playable free Steam demo ahead of the full game.
Honestly, RoboCop Rogue City caught my eye as soon as it was announced due to its unique premise. I don’t think I’ve ever even considered playing a game as RoboCop himself, but now I need to. There are so many FPS games out there, but few scratch this kind of nostalgic itch. It gets even better, as the developer is familiar with other movie-to-game entries, having worked on similar banger shooters like Terminator Resistance.
While the full version of the game was meant to be released back in September, Teyon announced that the final launch date would be pushed back until Thursday, November 2. Thankfully, you can hop into Old Detroit right now during the free demo period on Steam. The demo includes Rogue City’s first three levels, offering us “a taste of the action,” as Teyon writes.
If you’re interested in checking the demo out yourself or playing Rogue City upon its full launch, you can wishlist it and download the three playable levels directly on Steam. There are tons of weapons to choose from, including the Auto-9. You’ll also get to use your sheer robotic strength and cybernetic abilities, which are upgradable.
I’m looking forward to playing a game on the more justice-aligned side of the law for once, especially when it’s as RoboCop. The story seems intriguing too, and I’m excited to see how it fits in between the films. The original RoboCop himself, Peter Weller, is voicing the protagonist so investigating, interrogating, and exploring will feel all the more familiar to us long-time fans.

Nightdive’s Star Wars: Dark Forces remaster has been given a February 28, 2024 release date.
Earlier this year, Nightdive Studios announced Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster, and now we finally have a release date for the game - it's coming almost exactly 29 years after the original.
The Planetside franchise, especially the latest entry Planetside 2 , is a fascinating experiment in the realm of MMOs. It’s one of very few titles that has managed to capture the chaos and havoc of an ongoing, never-ending war in real time. Fighting the enemy in PS2 for the glory of your faction isn’t just a single quest line or DLC, it’s the entire game. There are very few true MMOFPS (Massively Multiplayer Online First Person Shooter) games out there, and Planetside 2 is certainly a contender for the best performing one.
A free update for Dark Pictures: Switchback VR which adds a new Horde mode to the game is out now, just in time for Halloween.
Postal 3 is an unusual game. Lurid, vulgar, and deliciously dedicated to poor taste – just like the rest of the Postal series – it’s even been disowned by co-creator Running With Scissors. After vanishing from Steam, apparently owing to issues with Valve, surrounding download-rights management (DRM), Postal 3 is suddenly back. If you want to sample this interesting piece of gaming history, and the semi-official connecting tissue between Postal 2 and Postal 4, now’s the time.
Superhot. Super. Hot. Super. Hot. Words that will forever ring around your skull after playing this time-manipulating, ultra-slick Steam shooter. There’s no going back from playing Superhot; it’ll change your perception of the FPS genre, alter how you think about combat altogether, and probably ensure you never say the word “super” in a normal voice ever again. Superhot and Superhot VR are two of the coolest and most essential games on PC, and they’re both going cheap right now in a Steam sale.
Drawing inspiration from the likes of Chivalry, Mount and Blade, For Honor, and Mordhau, Half Sword is a ridiculous medieval combat sim filled with historically accurate weapons and armor. It’s gleefully silly, strikingly gory, and immediately, unquestionably a lot of fun. After blowing up online on social media platforms including TikTok, you can now play Half Sword yourself for free thanks to a new Steam demo.
Where does the time go? Asterigos: Curse of the Stars was released a year ago, and, fittingly enough, just got a meaty patch in the form of a free Anniversary Update, and we've got the trailer to prove it.
Developer Teyon and publisher Nacon have released a new trailer for RoboCop: Rogue City, this time around focusing on the fact that the choices players can make throughout the game matter quite a bit. Check out the trailer below.
I have the very fortunate position of getting to review the latest and greatest gaming controllers for a living. If you ask me to pick a side on the controller-versus-mouse-and-keyboard war, I will knowingly go down swinging, and pick a gamepad pretty much every time. Now before you call me an idiot on Twitter, I know - first-person aiming with a mouse and the number of functions on a keyboard vastly outperform the very best controllers that exist. But still, I prefer a pro controller.
Teyon and Nacon's forthcoming 80s sci-fi FPS Robocop: Rogue City has a demo, allowing those who wouldn't even buy it for a dollar to spend an hour or two in the game's crime-ridden Old Detroit, fighting crime.
Between Ara History Untold, Millennia, Cities Skylines 2, Civilization 7, and Total War Pharaoh, there are a lot of new strategy and management sims on the way. Solium Infernum seems different from all of them. A combination of Civ, Doom, and – according to its developer – a bit of Dark Souls, Solium casts you as one of several archfiends vying for control of the infernal throne after the sudden disappearance of Lucifer. Military might is important, but the key to victory in Solium is bureaucracy, politics, psychology, and manipulation. Imagine navigating the back-biting, gossiping, and fickle cliques of high school, but while simultaneously fighting a blood feud in the lowest reaches of damnation. After a lot of anticipation, we’ve finally had the chance to play Solium. Even better, you can, too, thanks to a huge new demo now available via Steam Next Fest.
