From GamesReviews:"When I first saw Crime Boss featured in a trailer, I was very excited. Seemed like something akin to Saints Row which is a series I have really enjoyed over the years. It looked like a 90's version of the Mafia games with a star-studded cast (more on that later). All the marketing leading up to the games release looked like a chaotic shooter gang war. The issue is what was released was nothing like the marketing led us to believe. The game launched to very middling reviews honestly. I've spent quite a bit of time with this game taking it in, learning what it is, before writing this review. While the game 100% suffers from an identity crisis, once you get passed that, I don't think I have had more fun playing a game this year. Is it a flawless game? Absolutely not, but if you take it for what it is at face value and understand it, it's nowhere near as bad as others have made it out to be."
"After a period of exclusivity on other platforms, Crime Boss: Rockay City is finally coming to Steam on June 18. 505 Games and InGame Studios want to make sure the game makes a good impression when it arrives, so they are holding a free playtest right now. Steam users just have to sign up for the playtest while it's going on, and they'll be in!" says Co-Optimus.
I wanted this game to succeed, it has some of my favorite celebs from the 90s. Maybe if it launches in steam with no problems and for a very low price, I might buy it.

Man.... Premium has been a massive letdown but this is the only month they don't have a single thing for me. Oh well. I've gotten my money's worth so far and still need to finish up Rebirth and Rise of the Ronin then I'll hop back in to Relink and Helldivers after that.
RDR2 is a win for Sony and Crime boss is a good fit to help promote a struggling game
but we're far from what was removed this month (including Horizon Zero Dawn)

Games so bad, they made Redfall look honorable. Yeesh.
It can be an unfortunate trend in our industry to lump games people were looking forward to that didn't end up meeting their expectations and were just okay (Forspoken) with games that are broken (Gollum) or little more than asset flips (The Day Before). If expectations (and price) had been set appropriately, Forspoken wouldn't even be that bad.
