Slant community chat on DiscoursePro Competitive 4 player local and online co-op
Co-op often descends into chaotic fun as people try to work together to complete the objectives while still trying to steal the most money and get the highest score.
Pro Line-of-sight system
Monaco implements a line-of-sight system that many top-down games forgo. The lack of complete situational awareness keeps tensions high as you never know what could be around the next corner.
Con Some balancing issues
Some sections feature overpowered enemies that feel more cheap than a challenge. These parts are few, but are particularly frustrating.
Pro An element of randomness permits replayability
Important items are placed differently on each play-through adding an element of randomness to how each game plays out.
Pro Emphasis on cooperation makes for interesting gameplay
Your crew needs to bring specific equipment and weapons to make stealth or a gunfight easier. You also need to pay attention to your crew's health and ammo.
Con Some DLC requires owning other games
Examples of game-tied DLC (paid downloadable content) are masks, weapons, a skill set and locked achievements of games such as Hotline Miami Deluxe Edition and Speedrunners. This means you can't fully unlock all of the content available for Payday 2 unless you purchase these games as well.
Con Stock controls are not great
Before jumping into the game the user will most likely need to set up the controls in settings as the wasd controls do not allow movement from side to side when first starting the game, while this can be adjusted, it is a pain to have to do this from the get go.
Pro Basically a "directors cut"
Updated to support full HD, Thief Gold is the classic game thief remastered to support modern hardware.
Thief Gold is an updated re-release of the 1998 title, Thief: The Dark Project. TDP helped shape games as we know them today, and is often called the grandaddy of modern stealth games. If you can look past the dated graphics, this game (along with its successor, Thief: The Metal Age) remains the purest stealth experience available on PC.
Pro Gives a feeling of power and stealthness
There is an ability called Swoop in the game that allows the main character to dash 15 feet ahead of where they are currently located, this gives a sens of power and really makes on feel as if they are a ninja. One of the best mechanics in the game, which makes the game a lot more enjoyable.
Con Claustrophobic level design
Too often the levels feature narrow corridors and small rooms. This makes for tight situations where it can be difficult to see everything around you due to camera angles and walls in the way.
