The story in them is negligible and basically tries to set up a dumb 80’s cop action movie more than anything else. The second has you stopping a terrorist weapons deal in London.Īs always, I’m kind of put off by playing as a “shoot first ask questions later” cop, but neither of these games really feel like they are trying to say anything political at all. In the first game, you are working your way through an organized crime ring in a generic, fictional American city. You shoot a bunch of guys, buy upgrades, and repeat. There’s a roguelike structure to both games.

One simple idea serves as the basis for both RICO games: it’s heckin’ fun to kick a door in and shoot up a room full of folks in slow motion. Last week, RICO: London finally landed on the Switch and… didn’t quite click with me as well as the original game did. I didn’t play too much of it, because I thought the sequel was hitting in September.
I’d never played the original RICO, but decided to pick it up over the summer and had a blast with it. RICO: London hooked me the moment I saw its fast-paced, comic-booky, cel-shaded action.

OK, so it’s a first-person door-busting shooter that will have you breaking in, shooting every bad guy in sight, and perhaps taking names later… but now it’s in a location where people have different accents and you can pick up more customized named guns? I guess it’s counting on people wanting to play co-op locally or online to somehow save everything, that feeling of working together giving some sort of rush, but much like the first time it takes very little time for you to start looking at your watch when you’ve repeated the same room layout for the fifth time in the same run. Will lessons have been learned? Will old problems get replaced with new ones? What I don’t typically expect is for a sequel to roughly be stuck in time, repeating pretty well every mistake from before while failing to deliver anything of tangible substance in return, yet that’s how this RICO sequel plays for me. Whenever you see a sequel to a title that showed promise but just didn’t quite put everything together the first time there’s a mix of Whenever you see a sequel to a title that showed promise but just didn’t quite put everything together the first time there’s a mix of excitement and dread.
