RICO

You play a detective on the RICO task force, taking on criminal gangs in a case framed by a 24-hour deadline. The aim is to enter gang hideouts, take down their occupants, and complete the case.

Choose a loadout, plan your entry, and fight through rooms using surprise and slow motion to gain an edge. Missions can involve collecting evidence, destroying assets, or dealing with threats such as bombs.

Cases and levels are procedurally generated, with mission types and challenges that can change between runs. Progression includes unlocking weapons and traits; the game also offers Daily Play and local co-op. Online play is no longer supported.

Players who enjoy RICO often praise its arcade-style shooting and the variety created by randomized levels. Some also like its action-movie feel and available weapons and modes. Other reviews describe runs as repetitive or frustratingly difficult, and criticize movement, combat registration, or the limited story and character progression. One reviewer notes that with online servers offline, completing the game alone is problematic.
