Critique

The game combines elements relating to robberies, looting, theft, involving some of the most extreme criminal activities you can think off. Drilling vaults, opening deposit boxes, cashiers, stealing jewellery, watches, necklaces, rings and all sort of valuables, anything that may possess value, all specifically to do with money. Loading up your stack and generating large amount of cash in some of the highest risk moves you can think of. All of which leads to a Big Payday. Having the audacity to breaking an entering, taking people hostage, having shootout with cops while diminishing a host of SWAT teams to then being able to rob a place clean and get away with it is just something you can never imagine happening in real life, its an outstanding game, a masterpiece of different mechanisms that literally teaches you the “knowhow” of how to perform a burglaries. Being able to accomplish these goals in the way that you would picture happening in real life is just phenomenal. It’s an exceptional gaming experience that’s bound to grasp your attention all the way.

The game is built to test your ability to overcome the risks imposed to perform the perfect heist. Maintaining a stable balance between robbing and surviving in a hostile environment is generally what the game is about, learning the craft of being a burglar and aiming toward the perfect robbery by not alarming cops, taking out security guards, ensuring hostages are calm and most of all keeping quiet to not draw attention to yourself is what makes it so interesting. However, as Andy Kelly quoted in IGN review “Getting through a heist using stealth isn't easy” which is exactly what the game challenges you to do, and if detected you’ve just got to fight it out guns blazing against feds. It’s an amazing experience, something you would picture doing yourself in a dream as a thief, it’s a remarkable montage of how to perform a huge take down, robbing a place clean and getting away with a van fully loaded of countless amounts of valuables.

Conclusion

Overall the game brings a lot of intensity and excitement by constantly fluctuating the gameplay making it unpredictable and uncertain for you to successfully perform a heist at every attempt. It has a unique style of play and its very unconventional in-comparison to many other First Person Shooter (FPS) games. If you love FPS and cooperative gameplay then this is definitely the game you want to play. It’s a unique and outstanding work developed by the Swedish Developers “Overkill Software” which you certainly shouldn’t miss out on.
