This game is great. I love the stealth aspect and trying to figure out how to get through all the levels without being detected. Id really recommend this game to anyone who likes hardcore stealth.
There is a few things that I dont like. I wish there was a Save feature, even if the save feature was limited like only being able to save 3 times would be so helpful. I also wish the silenced pistol actualy killed in 1 or 2 shots instead of using a whole clip on someone.
but beyond those flaws its really fun and addicting

It's rough around the edges (clunky animations, annoying music, not the smoothest controls) but I like the blend of stealth heisting in third person. Especially in co-op it is fun. Add to this the snarky british gangster tone and you got a indie diamond in the rough worth its price of admission.

DISCLAIMER - This was gifted to me free and I may be somewhat biased...
Got this to beta test on the PC. Played the early version on the PS4. The release on the PC improves a lot of the issues folks had with the PS4. Who doesn't like to steal other people's stuff, right? Replayability as there are several ways to complete missions - even better, play with a friend for even more options with timing takedowns.
Pros:
Voice acting is great
Lots of weapon choices/upgrades
Manages to find variety even when all the missions are about breaking and entering/stealing
Coop
Focus on stealth, but you can go "loud" for an extra challenge
Kicking a door into someone's face to take them out feels particurally satisfying
Variety of control mapping options
No save points mean long (and hard) missions get really tense
AI is decent (the bane of all games) - I do like that you have a chance to stop them from radioing for backup if you're fast and have disabled the alarms
You can leave a mission even if you haven't completed it and keep the loot you collected (rather than dying and losing everything you have picked up)
Cons:
If you like save points, you might struggle with long missions
Swapping out a weapon is the same key as picking up a body bag - I've dropped my gun more than once by accident
AI is still AI, even if pretty decent... "I wonder where Bob went who is normally stationed here? I see his gun on the ground... I'm sure he meant to put it there. Let me turn around and walk away... la-la-la-la-la."
Overall, if you like stealth games I'd recommend it - especially with a friend in coop. If you hate the genre, I don't know that this will make you a beliver. Lots of fun so far, I'm planning to log a lot more hours. Worth the price of admissions - especially on sale.

Stealth....
Either you love it or hate it.
But if you love it,you will love this game!
i've seen bad reviews about Filthy Lucre but i don't agree even remotely.
No you can NOT save during missions,but this is a hardcore game!
There is no mercy for the weak and many missions fail after fatal mistakes.
Good gear takes effort and upgrades do too...
But all of the above is why i love this game!
Its hard and nasty.. mean and mercyless.
And it's not a game to play for a few minutes.
On a scale 1 to 10 it's a genuine 8,5
And that is because online features are not all great.
And it does have small bug issues wich i dont really mind that much.
Buy it and learn to love it you stealthy bastard.
For it's a really good game!

Filthy Lucre is an indie tactical stealth game, that challenges you to sneak around, staying to the shadows and silently take down enemies, or else bring out the big guns and blast through anyone who gets in your way.
Each mission explains who you are dealing in with and as you slowly steal back your patrons treasures, you will be able to display them proudly within a vault inside of your hideout.
You will be forced to deal with different types of enemies, and a host of different technological security measures such as cameras and lasers. Find inventive ways around them, or hack the systems and disable the alarms before causing chaos. There are also always a number of secondary objectives to complete, such as never being seen or robbing extra, hidden stashes in optional areas.
The game is displayed in a typical top-down, isometric view. The visuals are good and pretty modern looking. And whilst parts of the UI and menus do look a little clunky and lack polish, the animations are smooth and the backgrounds are absolutely excellent.
The audio is generally of good quality, the voice acting in particular is excellent and this really works well to flavour the murky London underworld you are exploring. The sound effects are likewise good and plentiful, whether you are picking a lock or destroying electrical conduits.
Filthy Lucre is a fantastic addition to the indie stealth genre. The missions are varied and memorable, the large choice of weapons and equipment are excellent, and the addition of co-op play is just the icing on the cake.
All in all, Filthy Lucre is just a lot of high quality fun.
THE GOOD
- Co-op stealth-heist action
- Simple controls
- Online leaderboards
- Solid frame rate
THE BAD
- The lack of a save function can be incredibly frustrating
- Little variety
7/10

I think this is a very good game, although it would be better with save points in it rather than having to repeat the entire level, i've got to the end of levels n then I got spotted n that's extremely frustrating, making me not wanna play anymore!
It could also do with having a higher viewpoint so I can see where the enemies are n not running into them.
I do recommend the game though.
