The Break-In
Steal everything. Even the people. The Break-In lets you take whatever you want, from TVs to fridges to toilets. And all in 1-4 player co-op, VR and non VR. Select your getaway vehicle, anything from a bicycle to a stolen police van, and load up with gear like hammers and rocket boosters, and steal.
In short, Steam reviewers most often praise “Fun with friends” (21 of 82 reviews) and “Fun stealing and heists” (16); the most common complaint is “Frequent glitches and broken features” (14). What reviewers agree on ↓

“I only recommend this for VR PLAYERS ONLY. As a PC player on a regular old m&k, you seemingly cannot pick up vehicles at all, at least I cant. I also cant seem to rotate objects that need to fit through doors. This game is very fun however, but I only find it fun with a friend.…”
