A heist is like a high-stakes game of chess played in the shadows.
It’s a carefully choreographed dance, where each move is planned precisely and executed flawlessly.
Moreover, bank heists and high-value robberies are like moths to a flame for criminal masterminds.
What other way to fuel your rage or challenge your criminal expertise than executing a flawless purloin?
Notwithstanding, the game is carving its niche by adding a little spice to the mix.
So betweenPaydayVs.Crime Boss: Rockay City,which one takes the cake?
Well, we’ll let you be the judge on this.
But before then, let’s peel back the onion on both games for a concise verdict.
What is Payday?
Paydayis an action-packed heist-themed first-person shooter by Overkill Software.
Players live out their criminal fantasies by planning and coordinating perfect heists in pursuit of the next grand jackpot.
The title fits the bill as a co-op shooter with intense shootouts and a leave no man behind tagline.
What is Crime Boss: Rockay City?
Crime Boss: Rockay Cityis an upcoming first-person shooter game developed by Ingame Studios and published by 505 Games.
The aim of the game is to become the greatest criminal mastermind by working through the three-part stories.
The games narrative follows the untimely demise of the top boss, which creates a vacant spot.
As a new entrant in the subgenre, it certainly has more in store than its spiritual predecessor.
For starters, the game introduces an entree of star-studded characters playing as allies and villains.
Although the characters stem from yesteryear, who can say no to the gunslinger guardian, Chuck Norris?
What’s more, Vanilla Ice and Danny Trejo feature as rival gang bosses in a crime-centric 90s setting.
Moreover,Paydayis very much a pick-up game with no linear progression.
The roguelike pace that the game delivers pays homage toPayday 2’s gameplay,giving it a contemporary feel.
However, the game feels short on detailing what the mission is.
You may walk into a territory where the enemy quickly spots you.
And trust me, they are quite an observant lot.
Once an enemy spots you, it takes seconds for the entire gang to swarm in.
The game switches to a first-person shooter, and guns blazing mode takes center stage.
Furthermore, both games have a similar foundation that shapes their mission structure.
The striking difference isPaydayaccords you an opportunity to gather intel before the mission’s inception.
Also, you’re free to switch from stealth mode to rogue gunman mode.
The spoils of victory go home withCrime Boss: Rockay City,and the reason is obvious.
The game promises to deliver solid gameplay and a deep dive into the world of organized crime.
If you want to be the Grandfather of Crime, this is the game for you.
