Hey everyone! This is a full platinum trophy guide for RoboCop: Rogue City (PS5). Total playtime: roughly 13 hours. Difficulty: a chill 3 out of 10. Stress level: about 6/10 (yeah the game has some quirks). Satisfaction upon completion: a solid 7 — like finishing a great action movie.
Bottom line upfront: the plat isn’t that hard. Play through the story naturally and you’ll grab most trophies along the way — but “Good Eyes, Murphy!” is the one missable you absolutely need to watch out for.
Trophy Overview
Here’s the full trophy breakdown for this one:
- Platinum: 1
- Gold: 6
- Silver: 10
- Bronze: 11
The platinum, “To Serve and Protect”, pops when you collect everything else — standard plat behavior.
A couple of trophies are easy to miss if you’re not paying attention:
- “Good Eyes, Murphy!” — requires grabbing a PCB upgrade part in a specific spot
- “Officer of the Month” — needs an A-rank or higher on a mission evaluation
⚠️ Heads up: “Good Eyes, Murphy!” is tied to the Steel Mill mission. If you miss the part, you cannot go back — so flag it early.

Difficulty & Recommended Approach
The overall difficulty is about 3/10 — definitely on the easier side. That said, here’s how to run it smoothly:
- Max out Deduction (Reasoning) skill first — it boosts your XP gain, making everything else easier
- Get Engineering (Tech) to level 6 early — unlocks hacking-related Silver trophies without a headache
- Fully upgrade your Auto-9 with PCB parts — the late game gets rough without it, ngl
- The shooting range score trophies (150 / 200 / 250 pts) can all be farmed in one session — if you have a slow-motion PCB part equipped, it’s almost cheesy easy
One big heads-up: there’s no manual save — it’s autosave only. So be very careful about irreversible decisions. Some players have also reported progression-blocking bugs, which makes the no-manual-save situation even more frustrating.
⚠️ Missables & Trophy Traps
The #1 missable is “Good Eyes, Murphy!” — pure and simple. Forget to grab the PCB part and you cannot go back. The Steel Mill is a one-way street.
A few others to watch:
- “SuperCop” / “Officer of the Month” — score-based trophies. Do them in bulk or you’ll be grinding the shooting range twice
- Sub-quest “To Serve and Protect” — forces you to walk every corner of the map. RoboCop’s heavy clomping walk + tedious map exploration = certified slog. There are THREE of these sub-quest runs. Go full robot-brain-off mode to survive
😤 Stress Points — Real Talk
Let me be straight with you about the friction points in this game:
- No manual save: Can’t rewind when things go sideways. Infuriating.
- Arcade event bug: Got completely softlocked in the arcade area — had to force-restart
- Sub-quest patrol routes: Three separate “walk the entire map” missions. Heavy robot footsteps. Send help.
- ED-209’s jank hitboxes: RoboCop’s movement doesn’t sync well with the attack timing, so you eat hits you shouldn’t
- Some events don’t re-trigger: Certain interactive events won’t fire again if you miss them — no second chances
💀 Hardest Boss: ED-209 at the Steel Mill
Real talk — ED-209 at the Steel Mill was the toughest fight in my run. This thing hits hard. Multi-stage cannon blasts, wide AoE attacks, and RoboCop’s slow-turning movement makes dodging a nightmare. The rockets have serious tracking and will chew through your health items if you play sloppy.
Here’s the strat that worked for me:
- Lead with your fully PCB-upgraded Auto-9 — raw DPS is your friend here
- Use the Engineering skill’s dash dodge aggressively — it’s the only real way to avoid the big hits
- Hug the grills/cover and mix close-range melee with gunfire — don’t try to kite this thing from a distance
That approach took it down in about 5 minutes. Budget 2-3 healing items though — going in blind with no heals is a recipe for a reset.
🏆 Post-Plat Thoughts
The sheer power fantasy of just blasting through enemies as RoboCop never gets old. The game nails the 80s movie atmosphere — and the boss fight setpieces genuinely slap.
Yes, no manual save and a few bugs are annoying. But 13 hours to platinum with a solid story experience? That’s a great ROI for trophy hunters. If you’re a RoboCop fan, this is absolutely worth your time.
One of the biggest draws of this game is how deeply it respects the source material — the original 1987 RoboCop film. Playing through it, you’ll keep spotting callbacks and easter eggs that make you want to rewatch the movie immediately. (I actually rewatched Part 1 mid-playthrough and was blown away by how much the game captured the spirit of it.) If you want to go even deeper into the RoboCop universe after finishing the game, tracking down the original film is absolutely worth it.
🎮 Must-Have Gear: How I Saved on a PS5 Controller
During my hardcore Platinum Trophy grinds, the rubber on my PS5 thumbsticks finally tore off. I was dreading spending another $70 on a brand new DualSense… but then I tried these thumbstick caps as a last resort.
Surprisingly, they fit perfectly right over the torn rubber! I saved the replacement cost and used that money to buy another new game instead (lol).
If your thumbsticks are starting to peel or fall apart, I highly recommend this cheap fix to extend your controller’s life before you buy a new one!
