Whether you’re stepping into the shoes of a powerful mafia boss, unraveling mysteries as a 1920s detective in Chicago, or living on the edge as a car thief entangled with a criminal syndicate, these stories captivate us. If the game is well-crafted, players are more than willing to dive into the experience. After all, the allure of stepping into these high-stakes scenarios is part of what makes gaming so exciting.
