How can a game with Chuck Norris on its cover manage to fly under the radar? Join us as we explore "Crime Boss: Rockay City," a game that's a straightforward yet surprisingly entertaining experience. This will be one of our most casual episodes on this series because of the game's simplicity, but we'll still share our candid thoughts on its low-risk, high-reward nature and how it stacks up against other titles we've dabbled with recently.

We take a critical look at what is essentially Payday 2 gameplay trying to merge with Grand Theft Auto vibes. We’ll also dive into the importance of multiplayer sessions enhancing our enjoyment of the game. Despite some clunky mechanics and a lack of originality, we find it has the potential for a lot of fun moments, especially with friends. On the flip side, the game's limited updates can be a bit frustrating. But if you can get this game on the cheap (or "free" through services like PlayStation Plus), then we would recommend giving it a shot!
