Visually, Crime Boss: Rockay City is a mixed bag. The multiplayer modes, Crime Time and Urban Legends, suffer from the same lack of variety, leaving players craving more engaging content. The pacing is interrupted by frequent over-the-top cutscenes that do not contribute much to the narrative. Unfortunately, the lack of variety and goals in the missions hinders the overall experience. The campaign follows a roguelike structure, with perma-death adding a sense of danger to each mission. In the single-player campaign, you assume the role of Travis Baker, a character portrayed by Michael Madsen, as he aims to become the new King of Rockay City by executing daring missions and taking over rival gangs’ territories. The game offers three different game modes to explore: the single-player campaign, PVE co-op multiplayer, and multiplayer missions called Urban Legends. While the performances may not always be convincing or believable, they add a certain charm to the game, especially for movie fans. The game boasts an impressive lineup of Hollywood talent, including Michael Madsen, Kim Basinger, Danny Glover, Michael Rooker and Chuck Norris. Crime Boss: Rockay City draws inspiration from the action movies of the 80s and 90s, creating larger-than-life action set pieces and a campy B-movie dialogue that aims to evoke nostalgia – and at times it certainly does. However, as we delve into the game, it becomes apparent that Crime Boss: Rockay City still falls short of its aspirations. With an intriguing premise and a star-studded cast, this game had the potential to captivate players. In the world of organized crime games, Crime Boss: Rockay City, developed by Ingame Studios and published by 505 Games, brings an ambitious blend of first-person shooter action and turf wars to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X. Time for a second attempt, now that it’s out for consoles. Few announcement trailers this year had us as excited as the one for Crime Boss: Rockay City – with its celebrity cast and the clear homage to the classic action movie formula, it looked like a lot of fun – though unfortunately the PC release was met with a lukewarm reception.
