I first bought just the base game on sale then purchased the rest of the bundle a day or two later. I'm big on games that reward micromanagement and this is one of them. In my opinion, you can definitely play the game and automate everything but progress would definitely be slower. You can choose to do automate most of it as you wish if you don't want to use all your time tweaking the actions of your crew and are looking for a quick game. The Atlantic City, Criminal Record, and Shadow Government DLCs were worth it though I probably wouldn't buy the first two if they weren't on sale. The New York City map is HUGE and makes the Shadow Government DLC worth it if you're familiar with the mechanics of the game and are not afraid of the expansive map and the endless corners you can explore. The Politicians can give you that extra push to grow your net worth but you could definitely play without it. The game isn't free of bugs and I suggest looking up an action that requires a lot of resources. I personally have not encountered any but I'm aware that the train deals with booze for guns doesn't work. Look them up online if you're prone to raging. I also don't think the game would take too long to load if you're on a mid-level PC. Maybe it's easy to say so because you could see the map generating on the screen instead of a still image loading screen with a false progress bar.

Expected a game about gangsters fighting for territories in a city. Turned out to be a game about a city that happens to have some gang territories in it. For an organized crime game, I reckon it's more about organize and less about crime. At $30 I say not worth it. If you can get it for $20 or less then it's worth a look. Didn't see any bugs so there's that. 5/10.

If, like me, you have a deep aching nostalgia for 1998's Gangsters: Organized Crime but can't get it to work on a modern computer, then absolutely pick this up on sale. I've played a lot of gangsters games and this comes the closest to scratching that itch. But on its own merits it is underwhelming. RNG is so bad I, and the forums, recommend restarting the game again and again until you get a start that is actually workable. Missions are clumsy and as far as I can tell can't be cancelled, but you can only have a few of them. Saving the game means freezing for two minutes. Territory progression is heavily throttled and never gets faster. Honestly, go get Gangsters on GOG and see if you can get it to work instead. It also has issues that were never fixed but has the excuse of being older than patching. Edit: Alright it's growing on me. The mid to late game has much more complexity. My biggest remaining problem is the way missions are handled

Good Game especially in early game. If you get good at it, you can really get the cash flow up which means you invest more, which means each turn becomes so complex to manage. As a result, I was never able to finish to prohibition before my empire became so big each turn would take 20 minutes of planning. I don't think you need all the expansions. Base game should be enough.

A well made crime management sandbox game. Visually & audibly pleasing while maintaining a stable, bug free experience for a large real time map. UI & tutorial make the game easy to understand. Game play wise, you can run protection rackets, turf wars, sell booze, speakeasies, gambling dens etc.. I found the beginning & mid game to be very fun. But it got a little too complicated when trying to produce the more complex booze type multi ingredient lists. And Gambling dens did need a little too much hands on work. Reminds me a lot of when I played Gangsters Organized Crime back in 1998. Now we just need someone to make a modern take on Cutthroats terror on the high seas.
