The verdict

A free, chaotic Payday-style co-op heist game with goofy physics that's best with friends. Skip it if you dislike paywalled maps, grind and repetition.

Great for

Friend groups wanting a free, goofy, chaotic Payday-lite with stealth or loud approaches

Half the maps and most cosmetics are paywalled, and it gets repetitive after a few hours
