— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“Fun game with a gameplay similar to the first games in the GTA series, but filled to the brim with pop culture and retro gaming references. Lots of comedy and a simple yet satisfying gameplay based around combat and driving. Definitely worth checking out if you're into that.”
— a player, Steam review · 21 hrs played“I fw media that doesn't take itself very seriously. This game has that effortless charm. This game is like an eccentric & cool older brother. 10/10. If you fw Saints Row 2, 3 & 4 this is definitely gon your cup of tea.”
