Robocop Rouge City: The Solid metal everyday life…
After a number of publications about lovers of musical rust (Robots, Sharks), I want to draw your attention to the most stainless hero of our collective unconscious. About one-twentieth of the peremptory coolness of the…
Far Cry 5: Rednecks, Sectarianism and unbridled fun
It just so happens that the game section of the RockThisTown website is mainly represented by combat classics, "turkeys" and hidden diamonds of the past. Can the mainstream, with its terrible optimization, stagnation of gameplay,…
Genesis Noir: Through long shadows to the stars

Cthulhu Saves Christmas: New Year behind the Veil…
You won't believe it, but I didn't think I would be writing a review of this game. But for some reason, everyone really wants a New Year's or Christmas article, while I personally feel about…
Heading Out: you can’t escape from yourself!
Runaways and vagabonds are back in action! But this time, no hitchhiking, androids, or stuffed monkeys! Just you, your faithful iron horse, and your favorite song on the radio. Existential horror is on our heels,…
West Of The Dead: Western in black tones
Funny. This is only my fourth article about video games, but it's the second one that needs to be opened with the words "I didn't think I'd write about this game, but..." - and the…
Norco: The sweet and poisonous spirit of the…
Norco is a small backwater town located in the heart of the Louisiana swamps. This is a story of confrontation between small people, runaways and vagabonds, a large confusing predatory world of industrial giants and…
Mad Max The Game: High-octane diamond
A post-apocalyptic desert with endless gangs of psychopaths in crazy aggressive cars. The roar of engines, sand and rust on the remains of the old world. The lonely and absurdly cool warrior of these dead…

Void Bastards: Poor bastards from outer space
The future is not what it used to be. Spaceships do not plow the vastness of the universe, opening a new frontier of humanity. There are no apple trees blooming on Mars, and no one…

Full Throttle: hard rock and choppers in the…
It seems to me that no game is better suited for opening the video game section on our website than Full Throttle from 1995. It's classic. It's about bikers. It's full of rock. And she…
