A great indie 70s experience with some police action. Hope to see more from you guys!

Yes.

Eine Beleidigung für jedem EM-Fan, ein so gutes Spielkonzept zu einem Play2Win-Game zu machen, das ohne Echtgeld-Einsatz wenig Spaß bereitet und nochmals unterirdisch weniger fordernd ist als schon EM20. Es wird Zeit, dass sich ein anderes Entwicklerstudio an eine ordentliche Alternative macht.

The migration of purchased DLCs of the "old" Hitman II is not working for all of them. Support does not care / respond at all. If I could, I would refund.

I can recommend it, it´s a playable game on release day - maybe the CS:2 I needed, but at the wrong age. Smooth animations and feeling in general, no performance issues, a lot of text and information to read - unfortunately not a direct tutorial. Keep up the good work!

Yes.

All in all I cannot recommend the game. The main resaon for that is the reputation system:
Everytime the game thinks that you are doing something wrong, it decreases your score. This score (from 0 to 100) is multiplied with the good jobs, so if everything is fine, you get full service points (that´s at least the theory).
But this system is most of the time quite bad, e.g.:
- running a red light with lights and siren (code 3) sometimes causes a decrease by 2 points. Running red light without siren, only lights, e.g. when the street is completely clear, always causes a decrease by 2 points.
- Chasing a violation after standing at a red light causes mostly all time in a decrease by 2 points.
- Red lights runner most of the time are recognised by the system as they did nothing wrong. You get a decrease by 2 points for "unjustified stopping" - and on top of that - for everything else negative points, such as checking passport etc.
- Going code 3 (lights and siren) also causes a decrease by 2 points all few secounds, if you are slightly above the speed limit? What the hell? Going to an emergency you should be allowed to drive at least 10 mph above the speed limit...
- there is no highway. The 2nd police car is made for high speed, but you cannot drive it really to it´s top on any point at this map.
- running code 3, people at crosswalks suddenly start running, most of the time IN the direction where you are coming! The game forces always to quit the shift after accidents, even if you are zero responsible...
- the GPS system is garbage. it always changes direction while in the suggested direction.

All in all, the reputation system costs the most of fun. Some bugs are okay and the AI is not the best at all, but losing points for bad game logic is so frustrating!

Not early access, it's early success.

Watch out if you want to buy and start playing immediately - the last patch crashed the Save- and Load-Menu... still waiting after 24 hours for a hotfix....

Habe dieses Spiel im ChronoGG Sale für knappe 7€ erworben, für einen guten Zweck. Dachte, viel falsch kann man da ja nicht machen.
Ich bin sehr überrascht. Gute, ausgefeilte Mechanik, tiefes Gameplay, gute deutsche Übersetzung. Einzig die Grafiken haben hier und da einen kleinen Fehler oder Items lassen sich nicht korrekt plazieren. Aber nichts halsbrechendes.
Allerdings glaube ich, dass dies eher ein einmaliges Spiel ist. Ab einem Tagesumsatz von 1Mio.€ werden Aufgaben sehr reproduktiv und es gibt noch keine guten Tools zum Massenkopieren oder Einstellen von Mitarbeitern, das wäre wünschenswert.
Fazit: für 10-30 Stunden viel Spaß, danach eher zäh.
