TL;DR This game is very fun only with friends and has it's quirks. Solo play is very grindy and difficult without dying several times.

My biggest gripe with this game is how players are supposed to progress in the game. I understand it's supposed to be a rogue-lite game, but hiding new skills and access to tools behind magazines that are randomly generated across your runs is a weird choice. There were several times where I bought a new piece of furniture or equipment, just for the game to do a rug pull and say I can't use it because I haven't found X book. I've beaten the game twice and have still yet to find an advance electronics book or a car thief book. Wanna grow weed? You need to spend 5000 dollars to buy it, which is a lot. So you buy it, but then realize you can't actually use it because you need a weed growing book.

Lots of items feel worthless and are pretty costly too. The crossbow is a huge example of this. Why even buy it when you can buy a stun gun and darts for cheaper? It knocks them out the same amount of time, except the bow is much more expensive, you can use the crossbows to hack devices except why do that when you can just buy the remote hacking tool? Why buy the fire axe when you need strongman level 2, and it's pretty much the same knockout time as the bat, which is cheaper and doesn't require the book to be used.

Solo play is almost out of the question. You're given a limit amount of time during a day, with 5 starting inventory slots and your tools and loot take these slots up. You can imagine when it takes more than 2 tools to run through a house, it's gonna drag running back and forth from the house to the trailer just to drop off loot. It's impossible to run solo.

For the price the gameplay is nice but 3 maps and one heist feels kind of lack luster. Workshop support would work wonders on this game. Lots of potential just needs tweaking.
