When RoboCop: Rogue City launched in 2023, it surprised many by delivering a gritty, faithful adaptation of the cult-favorite franchise, combining visceral gunplay with 1980s satire. Now, developer Teyon returns with Unfinished Business, a standalone expansion set within the same dystopian Detroit. While the new content hits many of the same high notes as its predecessor, it also inherits some of its mechanical and narrative shortcomings.

A New Threat in Old Detroit
Unfinished Business places RoboCop inside OmniTower—a vertical fortress teeming with mercenaries, drones, and rogue AI. The setting is tighter and more claustrophobic than the semi-open zones of Rogue City, evoking cinematic touchstones like The Raid and Judge Dredd. The story is simple but effective: a corporate militia threatens the city’s stability, and RoboCop, once again, is judge, jury, and enforcer.

Although the narrative is largely self-contained, it loosely follows events from the base game. Fortunately, new players can jump straight into the expansion without prior experience. Returning fans, however, will appreciate subtle nods and familiar character cameos.

Slow, Brutal, and Satisfying Combat
Gameplay in Unfinished Business remains largely unchanged—which, depending on your perspective, is either a strength or a missed opportunity. The weighty, deliberate combat still delivers a satisfying power fantasy. RoboCop’s iconic Auto-9 pistol returns alongside a new arsenal, including the Cryo Cannon, which freezes enemies for stylish takedowns.

Enemy variety has improved, with new adversaries such as shield-bearing heavies, cloaked ninjas, explosive bots, and jetpack-equipped mercenaries demanding different tactics. The pacing is combat-heavy and less investigative than the original campaign, focusing more on corridor shootouts than detective work.

One welcome surprise is the inclusion of playable flashbacks as Alex Murphy—before he became RoboCop. These short segments offer more movement and vulnerability, but are narratively driven rather than combat-focused. Later in the expansion, you can also briefly play as the towering ED-209 robot. It’s a bombastic, if slightly clunky, diversion that fans of the series will likely enjoy.

Structure and Replayability
Unfinished Business offers a lean 8–10-hour campaign spread across several tightly designed levels. The semi-open mission structure of the base game has been replaced by linear stages, which improves pacing but reduces exploration. While there are optional objectives and some side quests, many feel like filler and offer little reward beyond XP.

The upgrade system is intact, including perk points, motherboard circuits, and skill trees. However, there’s little innovation here, and returning players may find the progression system too familiar. Manual saves are still unavailable, and some players may find the checkpoint system frustrating during more difficult encounters.

Presentation and Performance
Visually, the game retains the gritty, neon-lit aesthetic of Rogue City, though technical issues persist. On PC, players have reported bugs ranging from audio glitches and texture pop-in to full crashes—especially when enabling features like DLSS or FSR. The lack of polish is noticeable and detracts from the overall experience, especially given the narrow scope of the expansion.

Voice acting is serviceable, with Peter Weller once again reprising his role as RoboCop, lending authenticity and gravitas to the performance. However, supporting NPCs are often flat or overly caricatured, and some dialogue feels stilted or repetitive.

Final Verdict: 7.5/10
RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business is a solid, if unambitious, expansion that caters directly to fans of the original game and franchise. Its streamlined structure, tighter levels, and more varied enemies make for a satisfying return to Old Detroit—but it doesn’t move the series forward in any meaningful way.

If you enjoyed Rogue City and want more of the same, this expansion delivers with style, steel, and firepower. But those hoping for deeper systems, bolder storytelling, or technical polish may come away feeling like RoboCop’s latest mission is one step away from greatness.
