Unless the developers allowed Peer 2 Peer connections for players to continue playing and completely randomized cycling of potential daily objectives, I'm afraid I'll have to give this otherwise fun game a thumbs down. The game could absolutely make a comeback, and I'd be grateful to see it but the game is impossible to finish on your own.
Really great breach/clear/collect and extract style game. Lots of style and action. You follow a Rogue-like path and have a limited time to complete the "Case". You can backtrack some if you want to but better to keep moving forward to make sure you complete the case in time. Do not bother with the Breakout DLC unless you really want it or if it's on sale. It just adds a jail survival level. This game is basically...
