Top critical reviews

The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.

“Crookz has some decent art and workable voice acting, but the gameplay is far too shallow to warrant playing. The game is less of a simulation and more of a puzzle game. It's an on-the-line passable game without much else to say about it.”
