Robots at Midnight

NoobFeed: 70 / 100 by Mahi Araf

Robots at Midnight is fun. It nails its retro-futuristic aesthetic, its combat feels good in motion, and the story itself is worth playing the game for. Zo is a solid protagonist, and the MITT gauntlet is a clever tool that helps both exploration and combat.

Robots at Midnight is comfort food. It's not going to blow your mind or redefine what games can be, but sometimes you don't want that. Sometimes you just want to punch robots in a colorful world while searching for your dad. But combat, while fun, never evolves much beyond what you learn in the first hour.

Robots at Midnight is a solid enough romp for the action RPG space. The robot infested world of Yob is a curious and colourful place infused with retro nostalgic futurism, dusty droids and bright purple stormy skies. A lot of flowers should be given to Finish Line Games for making a palatable Soulslike that can be played by all, even offering some engaging play in the supercharged MITT abilities that have you soaring around environments or sucker punching bots. Thanks to other elements, such as a lot of stock standard combat pacing and flawed exploration, Robots at Midnight doesn't necessarily do a lot to significantly distinguish itself in the hugely populated genre crowd, but it is a different flavoured experience for the space if you're looking for yet another to eat up. It's not quite a home run, but it's a damn solid swing and crowd pleaser nevertheless.
