Open on Steam ↗US Steam price, checked 6 h ago · Lowest we’ve seen since Oct 20, 2026: $7.99
A cinematic, story-first 1930s gangster remake with great atmosphere and visuals, held back by clunky driving and shooting and a brutal race mission. Skip it if you want an open-world sandbox.
Great for
Players who want a short, cinematic, story-driven 1930s crime drama and tolerate average gameplay
Main risk
The Chapter 5 race and clunky driving can block progress and spoil the fun.

“Tommy's story grabbed me by the throat and did not let go, every choice he makes feels heavier than the last and the ending will sit with you long after the credits roll.”

“The sheer vibe alone makes you feel like you've been transported straight back to the 1930s, and the graphics are absolutely astounding for a game that's already six years old.”
