Roboquest (PS5) Review: Endless Thrills in This Roguelite Shooter

Whoa, so here’s the thing about Roboquest, right? We’re in this age where every other game on PS5 is some kind of roguelike or roguelite. Seriously, just throw a rock, and you’ll probably hit one. So, why bother with Roboquest? Well, let me ramble a bit. It’s got this zing, that kinda “je ne sais quoi,” you know? The game’s like a frosty drink on a hot day. Or maybe that’s just me? Anyway, I first tried it on PC, then they spiced it up even more for the console. New updates and all that jazz – it’s like they gifted the game a second life or something.

Now, let’s talk guns. Lots of guns. Big ones, small ones, weird ones—like straight out of a Ratchet and Clank fever dream. The whole combat shebang just clicks, or snaps, or whatever, because it’s all fast and full of whizz-bang noises. Oh, and these cute comic-style effects when you’re shooting stuff? Love it. Keeps you running around, turning evil robots into scrap metal with style.

Is it tough? Yep. But like, not in a break-your-controller kind of way. Difficulties all over, so you can pick your poison. And hey, bring a buddy along! Tag-teaming these robots and buffing up your abilities as you go is a blast. Tons of classes and pathways to mess around with, you’ll find something that clicks eventually. Experiment and get weird with it.

Levels, oh man, the levels. They do this randomization thing that could’ve been a total mess, but Roboquest somehow makes it work. Never felt lost, and there’s a map — thank goodness for maps! Like when you explore and find all these little perks and bonuses, feels like a pat on the back or whatever. Plus, those boss fights? Spectacular! Especially when the music kicks in, and it’s just you, the boss, and a whole lot of chaos. The visual designs for the bosses are killer too. They pop, unlike the run-of-the-mill robots you mow down all the time.

And, by the way, perfect timing for PlayStation fans. This version of Roboquest is packed with updates — the Super and Endless ones, complete with extra trophies. Endless mode, for real? Never gonna run out of things to do. It makes the delayed PlayStation release feel like an unplanned surprise party. Better late than never, right?

### Roboquest on PS5: The Final Word

In my scattered thoughts? Roboquest is a bold burst of fun. It’s that one game you’ll keep diving into because of its tons of guns and upgrades. Seriously, it’s got legs (metaphorically speaking). Can’t wait to see what happens with the VR2 version. Probably gonna feel like you’re living inside a comic book.

Oh, and the review – the publisher provided the game. Just putting it out there. Played on whatever-the-version-is-called, so there you go.
