How it feels
A slow-burn, gritty drama set in a richly detailed 1930s city where you navigate a reluctant rise through organized crime with tense shooting and driving.

What players say
Players praise the gripping crime story and atmosphere, but the gameplay, especially the tanky driving and punishing difficulty, is a constant frustration. Sentiment is split: some find the jank charming, while others say it is nearly unplayable without mods.
