It really confuses me why are people so negative about RICO: London. When RICO 1 came out I really really enjoyed it. It was basic and slightly repetitive, but it was also very intense and fun. So when RICO: London came out I was 1. confused why haven't I heard about it before release 2. Was very excited. At the time I didn't have money to buy it, and by the time I did have those moners it got a lot of negative …

Rico 2 is a sequel to the first Rico that not a lot of people played, but the ones who did, did mostly enjoy. The game for me was and still is pretty fun for what it is and i do recommend it, despite a few problems that it carries. In terms of story, it's just like the first game (which means: SKIP). I like the art style, i think that real XIII style graphics (Cell shaded) are not used enough and i find it charming …

I really wanted to enjoy Rico: London. I had a blast playing the first one with my friends and had been eagerly anticipating the sequel which seemed as though it would build and expand on the basic framework the first game introduced. Rico itself was not exactly a AAA title, but it delivered on its premise, kept things simple and was a great first effort that had so much potential to grow. I am very confused by the …

While the gunplay is fun and the slo-mo upon breaching rooms is great, running through the same exact room over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over is not great.

What a downgrade, they made the game prettier in terms of graphics, but royally screwed up everything else, gunplay is terrible(enemies without masks take multiple headshots?! to die), level generation is also ruined by way too little variation, the rooms repeat over and over and for far too long per level. No character choices, no unlockable skills and bosses are now even worse in terms of sponginess. If you …

I loved how the game also had you make critical decisions about what equipment to buy, it added to the tension in the missions! It was a super fun game!

neutral · AI labelView post →I honestly do not know how to rate this game. Tl:dr the gameplay is good but idk if it's worth it rn Rico: London has far superior gameplay in comparison to the first Rico. However, I fear the replay value is slim since once you finish the main campaign (Beat it in 1.8 hours on normal, which is the hardest difficulty) there isn't much else to do besides go back through and do it all over again. Sure there's daily mode but that really isn't much different from the story mode. It would be nice…

neutral · AI labelView post →Definitely do not recommend this game - the gameplay loop sounds fun for paper until you realize that there is not much else to offer besides the same 3 rooms for about 20 minutes until you get to the next stage where it is another 3 same rooms after that. Maybe the game is better with a friend, but don't expect to get more out of it than a single gaming session.
