Players highlight the game's significant replayability, particularly through the desire for customizable safe houses and the thrill of progressing from rags to riches. The ability to design and test unique setups would enhance variation and encourage repeated play.
“This game has huge replayability and the sweet feeling of seeing your money go up from 0 to rich.”
“It would be amazing if I could pick some rooms and place them however I want, then buy some cameras and place them where I want. I could create the greatest safe house and test it out. If I can steal from it, I should be able to set it as my safe house for others to try to break into. This would add replayability and more variation to the game.”
