You play as a criminal in compact free-roam areas, taking on jobs and causing trouble alone or with up to four players in online co-op. An offline solo mode is also available.
Missions and free-roam activities include breaking into homes and stores, stealing goods, fighting people, and raiding hideouts. You can use melee weapons and firearms, drive, and approach jobs in different ways.
Progress involves completing objectives and selling stolen goods. Reviews also describe growing cannabis, crafting it into joints to sell, and improving character attributes or buildings.
In the supplied reviews, players who enjoy the game often praise the chaotic freedom and silly moments, especially when playing co-op with friends. Some also like experimenting with weapons and tackling jobs in their own way. These positives are often tempered by complaints that the campaign is brief and that bugs or rough mechanics interrupt the fun.
Crime Simulator: Playgrounds is a short, hilarious, and over-the-top entry in the Crime Simulator franchise, where the goal isn’t just crime—it’s absolute mayhem. Enjoy ridiculous chaos solo or with friends, and embrace the wildest side of being a criminal.
Have you ever wanted to throw a hammer at someone’s face? Now you can. How about pepper-spraying an entire street just for fun? Absolutely. Should a sledgehammer be so massive that it shouldn't even be legal? We got you.
Play with up to 4 players, cause havoc, steal, brawl, and take over hideouts in fully open free-roam areas. Every mission is an excuse for madness—rob stores, demolish hideouts with grenade launchers, or booby-trap a rival’s getaway car with landmines. No logic, no rules—just fun.
Got friends? Great! Crime is better together. Work as a team, complete insane objectives and share the chaos. Voice and text chat included.
No friends? No problem! Play offline and enjoy the destruction on your own.
Every fight is a playground—cops, civilians, rival gangs—everyone is a target. Grab a baseball bat, throw a crowbar at full speed, or turn an enemy into a human fireworks show.
