- “The mechanics can be hard at first, but are easy to get the hang of once you play for a little while. The gameplay is enjoyable and doesn't get old easily.”

- “Controls are clumsy, the tutorial and gameplay were boring, dead lobby.”

- “The first heist introduces you to many elements of the game that you will see repeating in the next levels, but each level I played so far adds something more, with the second heist providing longer gameplay and increased difficulty.”
