Description of the game sounded cool, but this game isn't done.. If you're old enough to have played gangsters organised crime then you'll definitely enjoy this. It can seem a bit confusing at first and hard to get into but stick with it and you'll be hooked for hours. Some more features and more depth to the commission and maybe some customisation of gang names etc would be great but there's enough here to keep you busy once you get the hang of it. The new tutorial is a big help. Really get to know your gangsters, my capo has just turned informer and had my boss arrested, saved by well placed bribery. Highly recommended game. Like what the other reviewers said, this brings back memory of Gangster 1 and 2. Its a pretty niche game, however as this is pretty much a watered down version of gangster 1 and 2, the learning curve is nottttt that hard. Just keep trying a few games and you will get use to the mechanics. Anyhoo rate this 7\/10. Just need more game mechanics to make it more of a challenging grand strategy, because once you own an entire borough you literally can just steam roll all the other boroughs into submission lol and also assasinating all the other 4 dons just for \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665 and giggles is fun lol.. Not a very fun game at all. Most just a bunch of guess work of what does what, what Rackect fall into what catagories, and what types of hood's give what sorts of bluff\/de-bluffs. And the AI always seems to be rebuild and grow faster then you can, and is able to do things that you can't. Over all the game feels broken and unfun, and isn't worth the 20 bucks it cost.. its a game that has a lot of areas where it could be imporved on: but if you are willing to be patant with it it can be alot of fun.. hate to give this a negative review but there is simply too much going on here thats problematic.First things first no, this isnt gangsters 1 or 2 and to be honest thats not what I epxected it to be althought i did expect a different game which to be fair is probably my own fault.The game loop is as follows, pick a family which than gives you randomly assigned capos and their underlings with random bonuses - yes the families do have set bonuses as such but from what ive seen and read most ppl seem to agree that the big affects are had by the guys that get rolled at random.Than randomly put these guys into various neighborhoods to try and figure out what rackets will work there.Now that in itself isnt necessarily bad but it starts a trend - everything is random. Untill you have setup in a burrow and in fact a specific neighborhood there is no way to scope out what will work in that specific place ie what people you should have wokring what type of rackets there. (if there is I havent been able to find out about it\/ read\/ utube etc.)Now to clarify reading the are info will help you narrow it down some e.g. a rich neighborhood is only interessted in the high end rackets casinos rather than gambling dens etc. BUT it wont tell you if this NH e.g. dislikes gambling untill after you tried to gamble there. So you could have potentially tanked 120k on a casiono jsut to find out people there hate gaminbling.And than u rinse and repeat in different neighbourhoods untill you start to make enough money to get engaged with deeper mechanics like the politics of the entire city\/ the commission itself.Add to that random events that take place that seem to tip the board over time and time again and it feels like your actions are more or less unnecessary, it being a game as static as literaly looking at a map and nothing else I can understand why the devs would add that into the game to mix it up but it results in feeling as if your actions in itself have little to no influence on the actual game.....which at least in my opinion defeats the purpose of playing.As I mentioned previously I had read of people claming this to be in the vein of the old Gangster games and I instantly felt that wasnt the case on booting it up (to be fair devs never said it was!). So to make sure I didnt mis remember the game I bought Gangster 1 on gog and had a few rounds and while there are some elements beyond just the era that are similar between the two games gangster 1 is a completely differnt monster. While fiddly and needing disturbing amount of micromangment and in terms of combat player controll G1 actually makes you think you made a difference. Sure gearing you guys to the max will give them an edge but telling them to focus on a sepcific guy will win the fight with less loses on your side etc etc.All this rambling aside I still think there is somethign here with The Commission I am jsut right now trying to figure out if its worth hanging onto or refunding it. Can I accept the fact that the game will essentially be a random number generator and I have some minute ways to improve my position between these rolls, but never substantial enough to really impact the random events as they happen to me?And sure no tutorial is harsh and I can see how people would jsut instantly refund since they can tell that it will be hours to actually figure out what this game is about - ie. there is a real chance you wont be allowed to refund the game by the time you actually understand it - even a little bit. Ive kept my timer down by reading alot about the compounding mechanics watcing clips and playing on my brothers account....Food for thought. badly made, crashes, cant move around the map; no autosave. Has potential but fair go its not 1992 anymore.. Game isn't ready for release yet. I immediately ran into a game breaking problem with soldato assignment, and the UI is atrocious without any tutorial or adequate explanations to get you going. UI also hinders any understanding on what is going on from turn to turn, so in many ways the games bread and butter is completely hidden from view outside of possible profits, which doesn't lead to satisifying gameplay.Outside of that the game has promise and I might come back to this in the future. Given some patches I'd recommend the game, but it's not there just yet. I'll list this as a tentative recommendation given its promise, but you shouldn't buy this without researching what has been done with it since this review was posted.. I enjoy the game for the most part, its fun to set up rackets and invest more into them to increase their profits! It's interesting to play it a few times because each family has it's own perks so it is better to try each one to see which one works the best for you. But my only complaint is that you will literally spend 99% of your time fighting the other families over and over and over and OVER for just one neighborhood! Now the dev team said they are going to add a "vendetta" sort of feature that when you go to war with a family you can actually wipe them out by force or hopefully be diplomatic and negotiate your way as the top crime famiy! But like I said it is a fun game and as a mafia fan who has always wanted to run my own crime family it's definitley worth it!
