![]() Fundamentally it still hasn’t evolved beyond the thrill of kicking a door with your boot.Īn Xbox X|S review copy of RICO: London was provided by Ground Shatter’s PR team, and the game is available now on nearly all platforms for around a quite hefty £35 (depending on which flavour you want it in). RICO: London doesn’t really move the series on much, but does deliver a short, sharp and action fuelled blast that is sometimes flawed and is light on depth, as well as content at times. As for audio it’s OK and by the numbers with very so-so voice acting featuring some questionable accents as well. Crash through doors, dodge bullets and turn the weapons of the fallen into your personal arsenal. Battle your way up the high-rise tower stacked with East End gangsters solo or with a partner. ![]() Graphically the game has a cell shaded style, which really gives a comic book action pop to things. RICO London is a gang-busting, name-taking, explosive co-op shooter. Especially as you move through what we like to call “loading corridors” where there is nothing to do except boot a door. We did come across a number of visual and gameplay issues, ranging from enemies clipping through doors and walls, to some really noticeable slowdown at different points in the game. Once again you can also play the whole of RICO: London in co-op with a friend and you both work together to clear the mission, but oddly it’s not as slick or as smooth as it was in the first game. And that’s the main hook of the game: boot + door = bang which is great for a short sharp blast, but it’s a bit shallow after you have smashed your 200th door. Everything goes slo-mo and you get to live out your John Wick dreams, as you blast the enemies in a hail of bullets and slow-motion effects and it’s great fun as you do it time and time again. But the best bit of the game is when you come up to a door, as you have to breach them by… well… smashing it with your boot and then the fun begins. Some also come with different attachments like sights and laser markers, all giving you a little edge in a firefight. You’ll also unlock and find an array of different weapons like sub-machine guns and shotguns as you move from level to level. Detective Inspector Redfern finds herself at the scene of an emerging arms trade at the foot of a high-rise tower. While everyone is getting ready to party the metropolitan police are working overtime. Your main goal is to clear each room of bad guys – it’s that simple. RICO London: JP: TOYBOX : Switch eShop: 01/27/22: D: Description. Though there are a number of backgrounds you’ll find yourself battling in, from a warehouse to a casino. RICO: London is once again an FPS slug-fest with a strong dash of roguelike thrown in, as each level is built from scratch before you head in… meaning no two level’s layouts are the same. As tales go it’s ok and frames everything up nicely with more than a few passing nods and winks to movies like Die Hard. So you grab your partner and head into the night to become the world’s biggest party pooper. It’s not going to be a quiet celebration though as a hot tip-off tells you there’s an arms deal going down as well that night. This is once again an arcade affair as you fill the boots of a cop who is on “crowd control” on New Year’s Eve at the millennium. Well, Ground Shatter is back with a sequel – RICO: London which aims to offer more of the same, but with a Cockney accented governor. It let you enjoy the thrill of… well booting in a door, which you did a LOT in what was really a popcorn fuelled corridor shooter with a fun doorframe smashing mechanic.

Her work has been recognised by the European Molecular Biology Organisation with an EMBO YIP 2010 and she has been granted with an ERC-Consolidator grant and ERC Advanced grants. In the last years, her lab has highlighted the relevance of cortical GABAergic circuitry in cognitive function, and their possible implication in the pathophysiology of developmental disorders, particularly in schizophrenia. Rico’s lab is interested in understanding how genes are involved in the development of neuronal circuits and the consequences on their disruption. In 2014, she was recruited with a Professorship position at King’s College London. In 2004 she got a Ramon y Cajal position at the Institute of Neuroscience in Alicante (IN), Spain (CSIC-UMH), and then in 2005 she become an Assistant Professor at the CSIC in the IN. She received her PhD in the University Autónoma of Madrid and she did her postdoctoral research in University of California at San Francisco.
