Crime Simulator

Xbox Series X|S, PC (Microsoft Windows), PlayStation 5 • 2025

Should you play it?

You’re out of jail, but the debt isn’t gone. Sneak, steal, and break into houses solo or in 4-player co-op. Use lockpicks, sleeping gas, and brute force to complete jobs, outsmart security, and make enough money before time runs out. Will you pay back what you owe, or lose everything?

What works

  • Fun and engaging co-op gameplay
  • Meaningful meta-progression and skill system
  • Active and responsive developer
  • Good replayability and challenge
  • Humorous and chaotic moments

Things to keep in mind

  • Limited map variety and content
  • Time constraints can feel rushed
  • Some ai and mechanics need polish
  • Can be repetitive over long play
  • Solo play less satisfying than co-op
