Most open world crime games just drop you on a map and expect you to run around aimlessly. This intense crime simulator actually makes you earn your street cred from the absolute ground up. You start off as a regular street thug trying to survive in a seriously ruthless, neon soaked city that is crawling with rival gangs. If you want to stop taking orders and finally run your own massive crime syndicate, you have to fight tooth and nail for every single city block.

OWNING THE DEADLY CONCRETE JUNGLE

The open world map here is incredibly vast and honestly, pretty intimidating. You aren’t just taking leisurely drives down sunny boulevards. Every single alleyway and deserted street corner is packed with rival mobsters just waiting to jump you. The mission design is completely wild, throwing you into everything from brutal street brawls to full blown prison breaks just to bail out your crew. You have to aggressively master the combat mechanics because mashing buttons will just get you permanently wiped out. Timing your strikes and locking down your movement is the only way to actually survive the intense turf wars.

HOARDING HEAVY FIREPOWER AND INSANE RIDES

Running the underworld obviously means you need a ridiculous amount of firepower. The progression system lets you stockpile a massive warehouse full of top tier guns and brutal melee weapons. Showing up to a firefight with basic gear is a guaranteed death sentence, so constantly trading up your arsenal is an absolute must. On top of the heavy weaponry, you get to collect a crazy fleet of off road beasts and hyper modern sports cars to help you tear through the streets and outrun the cops. You really have to scheme and build a proper tactical growth strategy if you ever want to sit at the head of the city’s most dangerous crime family.
