The game weaves a few heavy themes in with its human vs robots premise, including alcoholism, abuse, racism, etc. All have something to contribute, and by the end of the game they have all had a chance to shine. Not the best first impression, mind you, but over time you do grow to enjoy all of the characters in a quasi- Expendables kind of way. Some of the characters, main guy Dan and Big Bo to be specific, can be ham-fisted with their dialogue, especially early on. The game takes this concept and actually succeeds in delivering an effective narrative and conclusion, which honestly surprised me. These are robots that are able to completely pass for human beings, a ruse aided by the fact that they themselves don’t even know they are robotic in nature. The game centers around a Rust Crew, an elite task force meant to defend the Geneva Convention, which contains a clause that forbids the creation of what are referred to as Hollow Children.
