Eskimo Press: "Naughty Bear: Panic in Paradise is the sequel to 2010’s teddy bear murder-simulator Naughty Bear. The original game was not well received and 2 years later it doesn't seem like developer Behaviour Interactive has learned a whole lot from its shortcomings. Panic in Paradise is a game with a fairly fun premise and some good ideas, but suffers from sloppy execution, repetitiveness and a slew of other problems."
The news that Digital Bros. (and its publishing subsidiary 505 Games ) is in the process of restructuring is not new. It was last November when, in the midst of the maelstrom of layoffs in 2023, they announced that they were laying off 30% of the workforce , especially employees belonging to the development studios. This restructuring, like the international maelstrom, seems to be still underway and now affects the offices of the Italian multinational located throughout Europe.
505 Games has issued a very self-aware satirical update for Crime Boss: Rockay City, given the poor reception to the game.
I would of checked it out but far as i know its an online gta5 type game. Had it been single player inwouldve bought I to try by now
It's no secret that it won't flush. It's pathetic and something just about every actor on that roster will likely not mention with serious excitement or promote it themselves. The cringe is the talent that went snuggling up to it for the $$$ opportunity. So lame and backyard buddy homebrew-level feeling. Total cash grab. Minimum efforts all around. Nice Hollywood reverse engineering a plot based on their talent pool to carry a game into lame territory.
Game was ass.
Bought it to give it a try and it was beyond dead, as was the discord server.
Impossible to play online.
The Milan, Italy-headquartered company announced the planned job cuts on Tuesday as part of an “organisational review across its development studios and publishing units”.
