What players say

is a great game if you got time for it, may look boring at first, but becomes quite insteresting after 2 hours of playing, and i cannot stop play, this Penguin Heist Sure is The Greatest Of All Time.

This game is a great one to play with friends but with randoms not really. The reason is because I encountered a bug and it just freezes my game and i have no clue how to fix it. And the second reason is because not many people play this game i only saw one server open. But overall a great game its just got a small amount of players left which is sad because this game is amazing!

Honestly a very fun game to play with friends, might i say even alone.. Its funny seeing the penguin physics and stuff. Keep in mind i havent played this game since like it was in early access but one level was pretty laggy for me. hopefully they've fixed that
