I do and don't like this game I like the gameplay but I don't like how the 9.99$ price tag only comes with 1/5th of the actual game and the full actual game comes at a price tag of 118$

It took me ten years to figure out how to make a good Dodge build, then the game became fun for me. Still better than Payday 3, despite the DLC hogging.

Lost but not forgotten, even after all these year it still has its issues but at least its still in better shape than PD3 and more enjoyable.

One of the worst games I've loved. Fun gameplay and a ton of personality, but terribly mismanaged in its later years and a buggy mess from start to finish. 4,35€ well spent.
