Steal everything, including the kitchen sink
The rule is simple: if you can get it into your van, you can sell it. That covers televisions, computers, safes, and yes, toilets. One player emptied a house of both its refrigerators, wheels and all, out of pure principle. The comedy comes from the logistics: heavy loot has to be hauled, balanced and stacked, and a badly packed van can turn a fortune into wreckage. You weigh what to grab against what you can actually carry, because the getaway only counts what makes it out with you.
Getting in is the fun part
Ladders and climbing picks get you inside, then attachable airbags and pistons lower the good stuff safely down to your van. Every mission is randomly generated, with different room layouts and points of entry, so each job needs a fresh plan. The residents and guards are randomised too, so scouting matters: behind that jewellery could be an angry homeowner, a trained guard or a hidden camera.
Three thieves, one job
You pick a class before the heist. The Infiltrator is quick and sneaky, breaking in and opening the target up for the team. The Strongman hauls the heavy valuables to the van and shields teammates from guards. The Mastermind coordinates from the shadows and hacks the vault. Between jobs, your earnings buy new equipment: hammers and firecrackers to knock out or distract residents, wearable head lampshades to hide in plain sight, rocket boosters if subtlety has failed entirely.
A heist is better with accomplices
This is a game built for a lobby: up to four players, online co-op, with a co-op campaign to work through together. Sessions are easy to join and easy to laugh through, because plans fall apart in the best way when someone's hammer swings at the wrong moment or the van leaves half-loaded. VR and non-VR players share the same jobs through crossplay, so one friend in a headset and three on keyboard and mouse can run the same job. It is genuinely funny with other players, trying to stuff a car into a truck while a guard closes in.
Can you play it without VR?
Is it better with friends or solo?
It supports 1-4 players, but it shines as a group. The classes only really come together with a team: someone opens the building, someone hauls the heavy stuff, someone hacks the vault. Players consistently report it is most fun with friends, and the comedy comes from shared chaos, like trying to load a helicopter onto a pickup truck while someone else watches the door.
How rough around the edges is it?
Expect some jank. Bugs come up often in player feedback, from objects clipping through walls to odd NPC behaviour, and it can cost you a good haul now and then. If a wobbly physics game that occasionally wobbles when it shouldn't sounds more like part of the charm than a dealbreaker, you will fit right in. The game also gets updates, so rough spots do get worked on.
