![]() Then, if you thought it couldn’t get worse. Instead, you’ll just be faced with random guns floating in the air, while their owners are off, probably playing something else… like Payday… The stealth mechanics are incredibly rough and unpolished.Īnd even if you do somehow manage to find a virgin to sacrifice to the gods, chances are your getaway vehicle will have a seizure that prevents you from escaping, your game will freeze in a critical moment, or various characters won’t load in. Now, I’m open about the fact that stealth and I don’t go well together at the best of times, but Crime Boss is not the best of times, far from it. ![]() It doesn’t matter how much you focus or practice your aim it always feels like you’re facing off against the Hulk, and you’re armed with a water pistol.Īnd if you’re reading this and thinking stealth must be the way. Shooting in Crime Boss: Rockay City is both imprecise and ineffective. This means your only tangible form of attack is through shooting, which wouldn’t be a problem if any of the characters you can play could actually shoot. Because as weak in the arms and uncoordinated as I am, I know for an absolute fact that I could pull off a better melee attack than any character in the game without so much as breaking a sweat. I mean, it’s there, sure, but you’re better off just pretending it wasn’t. So, let’s focus on the one piece of any shooter that should be solid: the shooting.įor starters, forget about melee. I’m at a loss for words when pinpointing which part of the game I disliked more.

It also has a good soundtrack, filled with recognisable faces and voices that should have been able to carry a game set up for success… if only that were the case.Ĭrime Boss: Rockay City is, at its very core, a disgrace of a game and a waste of all the talent, money and time that went into creating it. ![]() It has three different play methods, a dedicated single-player campaign, and two co-op modes. On the surface, Crime Boss takes Payday’s tried and tested formula, throws in a bunch of recognisable faces and tacks on an early 90s theme, but instead of being a heist-filled joyride, the biggest and most unforgivable crime is the game itself.Ĭrime Boss should be good. So when Crime Boss: Rockay City ended up in front of me to review, I went into it with all the excitement of any good criminal who has discovered that the keys to the safe are unattended. I, Arielle, really, really love living my best criminal fantasies out in a virtual world where my chance of jail time, and if my skill level is any indication, death, is kept safely in a digital space. Still, it’s something that needs repeating. I wrote all about it when I reviewed Payday 3. ![]()
