I bought this game entirely on a whim, thinking it was a low-quality simulator game I could rope friends into play, and I have to say I was absolutely, entirely blown away by its quality. It's very challenging and harsh, but fair. The gameplay loops are fun and have have a lot of variety, it's fun to team up with friends who specialize into their own little niches- I was a crafter, gathering tons of money hawking my wares on the street. Another friend got tough and well armed and roughed people up for cash. Another specialized in thievery and lockpicking. We got to all do our own things, but we also built a really adorable base with tons of bonuses that bit by bit made our life more bearable in the cold streets of russia.

All in all, we were all totally enamored with this; Turns out it's a total diamond in the rough, absolutely give it a shot.

Bought the game 4 days ago, have 30+ hours already.

Why? Because it's well designed. You need strategic thinking ability to make it. You need perseverance and grit to push through the times you fail. There are many avenues to play, I personally love the difficult mini game. Love the dialogue, the rough characters, the environment, and how the game opens up to you the more skilled and experienced you become.

A rare gem, top 3 game all time.

Edit: 55 hours into this and it's the #1 game of all time.
