For a stealth based game its not bad.
In RPG's like oblivion/skyrim you have 1 lockpick minigame, in crime simulator you have several different kinds.
If you are a fan of hitman, thief, OG splinter cell and other stealth games you should pick gem up.

At time of review the game is a bit early access, so what you'll find is a lot of BS AI behavior, but at least it doesn't feel like cheese. the second map is harder, comes with new challenges, and you cannot even access some stores without higher skills in lockpicking. As an RPG you do have to complete quests/challenges to get EXP then buy skill upgrades.
All the devs have to do is tweak the AI behavior a bit to scale with level, and add more maps. This is truly an innovative gem that should not be slept on.

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS GAME, SEE WHY
Without pvp this game is literally just a grind, its runescape without dungeons, but added some building mechanics.
If you like grinding for materials with no end game goal except to grind more materials and trade materials with players then be my guest. If you want this type of game but with PVP go play "Pax Dei" those dev's made a better craft/trade system, there is PVE, limited pvp, and full loot pvp areas, building, and their servers don't crash or have queues.

I can't make this up, when you see other reviews you will see straight glazing. None of them can handle any criticism because they are all softies. But that's what you expect from a game like this, its a game for soft people that believe there is such a thing as "hate speech".

When you spawn, you cannot craft an item until you gather 2 materials, walk to a town, find the correct craft station, wait a few moments to craft, you have to go back into the station and "claim" item, good now you have an axe, now go repeat those steps with other stations to craft something else. most of these steps could have been avoided by making crude tools craftable from the start without needing to go to a town or find a workbench. Or take away the "claim" feature and just have the crafted item spawn in your inventory, why do I have so many extra steps to make anything??

There is no PVP, no WASD movement and they are pushing "micro-transactions" on their playerbase, after charging us $30 to play their game which I cannot even do that because I keep getting errors and kicked from their game. Even if they fix these launch day issues, the developers are going to wipe all content and your character on 1.0 release, and make it free to play. You are paying to test their game, with the opportunity to pay them more money through micro-transactions.

Tried complaining on the discord with screenshots of the issue's I was having in game and they timed me out(temporary discord ban) Now I can't chat, join voice channels or react to their posts. they literally shut down criticism.

If this review helped you in your decision to buy or not buy this game give it a thumbs up, so more players can see a detailed description of its failure.

TLDR
End game pvp is everyone flying around a massive open desert, shooting rockets from flying ships at each other. If you were looking for pvp with classes, melee, gun play etc, you were lied to.
The community seems hell bent on "keeping rockets" on helicopters, which means for the future, thats all you will do is farm resource in open sand, ontop of a rock, or fly around defending the farmers with helicopter rockets.

For those you want detailed description:
A lot of the pvp orientated builds/video's are centered around PVE, whenever you see someone talk about how it makes it easier to kill NPC's its not a pvp build. that is because the only PVP early-mid game is at these wrecks and the only chance you get at pvp is if you wait, could be for hours, for players to go to a wreck which the resources at these wrecks are not needed nearly as much so they get overlooked.
Even if you have the chance to fight someone on foot, they can easily get away, there are too many mobile moves, especially ones that aren't even meant for pvp because they deal no damage like bene sprint, that allow you to run out of harms way, get outside, into a vehicle and bam you are gone.
If you think you are going to get into the game, pick a class and go straight to end game deep desert or into pvp let me break down how thats not happening. when you pick a class only a few talent tree abilities are unlocked and you cannot level them past level 1. This is because to unlock another class you have to do the starter quest at the beginner trainers for that class to unlock level 1 abilities for any new class. And if you want to level 2-3 abilities you have to do each of the 5-6quests from advanced trainers. During which time you won't have access to the best(last slot) abilities/passives because those are reserved for completing the very last quests. What this means is if you want a fully unlocked class, you need to travel across the desert then back to a major city, pay a $2500 fee each time to access the major city/trainer, this entire process is very time consuming, most of the time you will be flying across the map far away and then going into a testing facility or jumping from one spot to another killing npcs or finding items. My friends did not want this game because they are pvp'ers, they dont want to be quest locked to get abilities. This also means you will struggling in any fight until you have unlocked everything. good luck with that.

Lets say none of that bothers you, lets go over some of the most annoying parts of this game
Lag/desync, the more players are on your seitch, the more you will notice stutters and lag. you could be climbing and then all of a sudden teleport to falling instead, or you could be fighting and notice you cannot attack or the npcs are dodging your attacks and attacking back all because your hits are not registering.
Farming late game is a huge pain because the devs never played their own game. You need a lot of water to refine resources, the strongest way to get water is dew and blood harvest, unfortunately there is no deposit all button for liquid. so mid to late game you will be clicking your mouse a billion times, trust me it gets old very fast.
Farming cobalt paste has got to be the worst farm ive ever had in any game. The nodes are typically too far away from being able to hit with your vehicle laser, forcing you to use hand tools which give less resource and you have to leave your vehicle on foot to each node, then run back to your vehicle. Some of these areas you cannot drive your high storage capacity vehicles, so you have to leave them 300meters from where you are going to farm, and since your personal inventory space is low, expect to farm 2-3nodes run back to vehicle, run 200-300meters again rinse repeat.
This game is not geared for solo players, although you can solo, in the deep desert you get smashed very fast. As stated above this is a rocket meta. your vehicles can only hold 1 module, either storage or rockets. if you go with rockets the only inventory you have is what you have on you which is NOT very much at all and will take 100+runs to the desert if you do this route. regardless of your choice in module, all it takes is another griefer to come and rocket you while you farm, preventing you from farming dd. or a small group will come and rocket you till you either die or are left alive in open desert which now the worm comes, eats you, you lose everything on you but leave behind a "loot bag" for those griefers to come and loot.
I've been in some small groups, its not hard to control vast areas of the desert when 2-3 of your friends have rockets and are scouting for players to kill while 1-3 players farm with storage modules. This just means your time as a solo stops before end game.
The lag has to be the worst, it effects everything. getting into a vehicle and it doesnt move, climbing then not climbing because it teleported you and now you are falling. I even made a short compilation of these climbing issues here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-17moH8yXXc
sometimes you never grab ledges, sometimes you try to use your shigawire ability and it doesnt go off, even when spamming it.
I'll edit this review if I play the game more, I know there were more issues but right now off the top of my head I cannot remember them all.

Early access review;
Game is great, what can I say.
Grow weed, sell it, buy a bigger apartment, upgrade your grow supplies to get drugs faster and higher quality, go sell it(but avoid police) get enough reputation to give your drugs to a dealer, he sells for you, then hire employees, they grow for you. Reminiscent of some mobile tycoon games except this ones open world.
Its crazy to think one man developed this game, you can ride a skateboard, drive a car, shoot a firearm or punch npcs. This is definitely one of those games that has potential to gain GTA money/traction.
Now for the bad;
Its early access, so content is currently restricted to a small map, 3 drugs to grow, and thats all you do really is sell drugs until you get a warehouse.

TLDR hacker infested, unbalanced, trash pixel game 2/10.

This game is one of the worst games to ever grace the steam store, let me tell you why;
trio/solo only-If you queue up as a duo, and try to use fill slots, you will end up in games where your team is not filled, but the enemy team has 4 players. or sometimes, you are queued with a player who is queuing at the same time as a 3man so they can team up as a 4man and kill you two. it sucks but thats how the game is currently.

Weapons- Every attachment in the game is unlocked by leveling different weapons(just like COD) you need to level the lmg N7 to get the best bullet damage in the game then you have to unlock the bullet slot by leveling a rifle to use it. If you dont have your bullets uppgraded you are not killing players unless they are just stupid. Most weapons are useless, its very easy and this happens often, to kill players using a sniper. everyone is running one.

Game breaking bugs- you can queue up as a 3man, and your friends can queue at the same time, and you can end up in the same server together. We tested this out and ran it over and over for an entire night, it worked everytime. I've also seen other groups do the same.

Hackers- If you don't believe a game that released 5days ago has hackers allow me to tell you players are wallhacking, they are finding exactly where you are on the map and they push on you every time.There is no way for anyone to see you on the map without a UAV and those UAV's are visible by enemies aswell so you know someone is looking for players. if they dont have the UAV, they can't see you on the map unless you are in a car and near them. Someone might tell you "they can see when the extract is triggered" When there are three extracts, what are the odds someone is right ontop of yours? or within distance to drive to yours? and also, we split up often in our 3-4man, and we have seen players kill one of us then B-line it directly to OUR buildings as if they knew EXACTLY where to go. not to mention, 3days in and these "knowers" have unlocked the hardest skins in the game, where you need to be max level to buy the keys nessecary to get said skins.

PVP- its the same as every other failed game just like it, you have armor tiers level 1-4 and weapons you need to level and unlock their ammo for. so if you don't have 100k to spend on t4 armor and a fully maxxed out rifle/sniper(you need both) you are going to get farmed for your inventory. You can't kill full kits with low tier gear, its just not happening.

Full loot on death- the bags in this game cost a lot, if you have a higher tier bag, you have more slots to carry more items but open yourself up to losing it and then you run out of money because bags can run up to 200k

Final thoughts;
Can we all agree anyone that is caught hacking in a video game should be sentenced with a misdameanor?
It has to be the only way to save video games moving foward.

the flying in this game is ASS.
The mouse is constantly pitch and yawing the ship, you cannot hit CONTROL to lower your ship slowly, hitting w increases speed and holding it down will cause you to just JOLT making landing impossible. Controls in this game are so janky, I can get used to star citizen but I cannot figure out flying in this game at all.
Tutorial is garbage and took way too long.
I do not recommend ANYONE play this game, the flying alone was pissing me the hell off. ive rage quit this game twice because I just hate landing ships, I hate the fact that I cant figure out how much fuel its going to take for me to go to one place to another. I cannot simply hit f1 and see all my map, quests, contracts, accept a new contract I have no clue what mission im on or where to get a new one. I really really hate this game and the way it was made for players to learn.

What do I think? amazing. kills time, engages strategic thought, and its more than just a tower game.
The developers added lots of randomized content, special events like PVE mode where you focus on building tower and buying workers but whats sent every wave is the same for everyone. Superhero mode where every 6 waves you gave a ability to place on a tower. These modes/events are on a schedule that you can view, there is 2v2 and 4v4, and endless mode. The developers put emphasis on feedback after every patch. Content is never boring and even if it was, just roll YOLO. All your units will become randomized, and you'll never have the same experience!

The game in a nutshell:
Use gold to buy worker, worker gives you 1 myth resource every 10 seconds, spend 20myth on snail, snail attacks your opponents lane and gives 5 gold income, after wave ends receive 5 gold, use gold to buy tower or worker. Repeat the process except you can buy more than just snails, the more myth you spend the higher tier the minion you send.
Place towers on a square somewhere in your lane, professionals do so to make the wave attack multiple towers(splitting the lane)
Now factor in weakness's. every tower and minion, have an atttack impact, magic, pierce, and defense fortified, natural or arcane, each one is weak against one type and strong against another.
Professionals save myth for multiple waves, then send a big attack.
You lose when your king dies, you win when your opponent leaks and their king dies.

For some strange reason, the developers made 2 modes, one where you can move your mouse around and click the other where moving the mouse is your character. Great, except that everytime I hit esc to leave the game it does nothing, you have to click control, then move the mouse to the bottom right over to settings just to leave the game. Also, everytime you go to loot a mob it auto puts you in control mode, which means you cannot move your character, cannot attack, cannot do any movement until you hit control again.
Graphics are reminiscent of like 2000s era which is odd for a 2025 released game, the sound is all outta wack, I turned all the volume down at the main menu yet when I clicked on server and create character it made that ping notification sound that you clicked it and it was LOUD I could not turn it down. Then the intro video started and the sound was SCREAMING in my ears. I couldn't hit esc to manage the sound of the intro video.
you can move around in combat, but I tried all the weapons in the start and I can already tell I won't like this.
I'm gonna take a hard pass, I don't care if they have a roadmap, you should have had this fixed before I bought it.

TLDR at the very bottom of the review.
Lets start with the bad, and I will update this review everytime I find a new bug/issue.
-I just spent the hour doing small errands, didnt save my game, went to kill some bandits in a known camp outside of a town. I dragged some of them to the bridge where an NPC caravan was crossing, killed one bandit and the NPC says "you killed him, guards guards" he runs, triggers the investigate AI(totally new behavior for this game, not fleshed out at all) now the guard is demanding I pay 2000gold, or I get branded, or I reload an hours worth of game all because I killed a bandit. Why is the investigate AI so bad, because the developers are lazy.
-The first quest I did was save mutt, I thought having a dog was really cool addition but boy was I wrong.
Whenever the dog takes a hit, which will happen every fight, or over time if you ask him to stay command in a town, you will lose some "obedience" level. This level can be increased(very slowly) by feeding the dog 15-20pieces of meat and petting him 10 times.
Do you really want to pet and feed your dog this many times after every fight?
I am not even exaggerating, I thought it would get better as my levels went up, but I'm near end game now with max houndmaster and the obedience level just dropped from 92>23 after a small main quest fight, and now im feeding the dog meat from a deer 45times, and thats because the MEAT YOU DROP ROLLS AWAY AND THE DOG DOES NOT EAT IT.
So not only did I have to force this dog to eat 20times, but I also had to do the interactions double that amount. its such a waste of my time.
The dog constantly gets in your way, picking herbs, hitting a tree, whatever it was I was doing the dog somehow always managed to run RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. I tried commands heel and free, neither does anything to change this fact. I got so sick of running into him or accidentally attacking him that I just told him to stay the hell away from me.
-The combat is trash, absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ worst of ANY game like this genre in the history of video games.
They took away points of attack and added this "masterful strikes" counter attack that made the game bland, boring, and too easy. Attacking AI should be a matter of reflexes, combos, attacking from weak points in armor, none of this left right left right. I don't even feel like im in this time period anymore.
-archery, what can I say, put arrows into the enemy from afar and they have no idea who hit them, if you miss an arrow they stop, turn their back to you and look in the direction of where the arrow landed because the AI is so dumb that its programmed to look for "distractions" now if you want to cheese the game just throw arrows at everything from afar.
-rogue gameplay is worthless, and don't even think about attempting being a thief with the dog around because he somehow always manages to WAKE enemies up or attack them without your approval even with HEEL command. If you steal anything you WILL get accused of stealing later on, apparently the devs think that this provides realism, but if nobody saw me enter the town or a home why am I still getting blamed by guards and what realism is that? all it makes me want to do is murder every AI for being so stupid, but we all know its the LAZY developers for having such a LAZY AI!
-Firearms are not a great addition to the game
They provide zero stealth like the arrows do and there is NO CROSSHAIR OR POINT OF SIGHT. with a bow you can aim off the arrow, with the gun its like hip firing so you have to just assume where the bullets are going to go. Since reload isn't much faster than arrows, just stick with a bow and poisen the arrows.
-Important AI will disappear!
Several times, I find myself wondering, where is the bathhouse owner, I need to clean my clothes, or, where is the innkeeper? I know im not tripping, I need to rent a bed! Only to find out (the first time) that the inn keeper(who has important quests) is standing around in the forest a short distance from the inn. This is due to the map showing there is a quest available in the middle of a forest??? anyhow, you cannot interact with them at all, it only lets you either nock them out, pick pocket or fight them. I've tried everything, potions, jumping ontop of them, the only fix that seems to work and that is not as punishing, is to literally assault them. they will make you pay a fine and you will lose rep, but at least the NPC will go BACK to their spot. If they dont, you have to nock them out from behind and carry them, even more punishing because as I may have pointed out before in this review, ANY TIME YOU DO A ROGUE STEALTH OPTION the AI seems to be GOD AND KNOWS EVERYTHING. meaning even if you leave, wait a day or two, they STILL KNOW YOU COMMITED A CRIME????
thats not all, the second time this happened to me, I tried punching the bathhouse owner but it didnt trigger her at all, she just took it! so I had to nock her out and carry her to the town, then the guard came, charged me 120gold and proceeded to search me for stolen items, which I forgot, I was playing a rogue playthrough, so indeed I had inventory full of stolen stuff. guess what I did next? reloaded the game, slaughtered the entire village down to the last npc, reloaded the game, AGAIN, and this time left her in the forest until Im ready to calm down and put my stolen items away before resetting her.

I have 89 hours played, currently struggling to find a reason for finishing this game. I spent most of my time completing side quests in the first area that by the time I made it to the second area I lost all interest.
I know its going to be a lot of the same content, i'm max level and there is no challenge. The progression ended hours ago.

I know you want this part of the review to reflect some good about the game, but if you are new to this game, go buy the first kingdom come deliverance. The experience is so much better, the beginning is way more engaging, the story is rich, combat(while not flawless) is worlds better.

1.story is garbage: You do not rise in any ranks or start from the bottom, you begin your story as a renown deathknight commander of many armies who was slain and rose again. Even though all the heroes in the story have risen from the dead one more time, the game tells you that when someone dies now, they die forever. This is further cannon when you play the second mission and you kill some zombies, your character says "they won't be revived again" what kind of logic is that?
2.aesthetics do not exist: No matter what armor or weapon you equip, it doesn't change your appearance
3.lack of customizations: armor and weapons are limited to 1 slot for armor, 1 for weapon, 1 trinket, I think you get where this is going, it lowers they choices you have to make but also feels like a "cut corners" product.
4.No building: You are offered a castle, which you need to earn resources to "build" and uppgrade, but building is so limited, you don't choose how the building looks, its preset, its limited to hospital, merchant, training, etc. it reminds me of a very cheap adobe browser game or mobile app.
5.TUNNEL STORY: this game is not open world. It doesn't give you multiple choices to approach maps, you walk a short distance with walls on your map preventing you from walking anywhere left or right, you are stuck in a linear movement to a "fight" the only choice you make it where you want to place your character before a battle like most RTS games.
6.Basic battling: walk up to an enemy and swing sword, or if you have +2 IQ, you walk behind enemy, and backstab for %increase damage per attack. enemy has armor? put skill points in armor penetration.

TLDR I wouldn't suggest buying the game, I got it on sale for $13 and asked for a refund, I doubt I'll get one because I set this game aside to play it later and I bought it like 2 months ago.
