First Impressions: Monaco:What's yours is mine

First Thoughts on....

Monaco:What's yours is mine

 First off, I wanted to make it known this isn't a full review, just my initial impressions after about an hour with the game.
Monaco came out on Steam a few days ago, and it had a really catchy trailer, so I just haaaad to pick it up. I love heist stories, and thought that there was potential for a good game here. But my initial thoughts are.... Mixed.

The single player is DIFFICULT. This is compounded by the fact that there is no way to permanently incapacitate guards, or turn off lasers, or really clear things out in general. No matter how hard you may try, there's no way to reliably complete a floor unless you manage to get EVERY guard at the same time, a herculean task, to be sure. And I figure that when a shot from a shotgun turns someone into a SKELETON they're pretty much dead. But no, when another guard finds their skeleton (Which they invariably will, a shotgun blast is LOUD) they'll make a sound that sounds like they're hucking their organs into the other guy, and he comes back to life. Disgusting, to be sure. And incredibly annoying.

I'll come back with more impressions and an actual review soon. Until then, this is Nev with IIWYM, saying seeya soon.
