@ F... Peaky Blinders ...

It makes me sad to see this game has been removed from Steam, it's a really lovely puzzle game!
I've never seen the show, so who knows maybe there were lore issues, but even without the context of the show, it had enough lore to be interesting for complete beginners to the series.
It's a simple enough timing puzzle, though I love puzzles so take that with a grain of salt if you dislike them xD There were only a few points I had gotten stuck, but even at worst it took a retry to readjust myself to what was happening in the mission (I forgot one of the characters abilities despite using it earlier that same mission, user error!). But it's very fun, and I love watching one of the characters I've already routed go by as I'm plotting the next character.
TL;DR, you can pet the dogs, what else do you need to know

This game is different from the Commandos/Desperados games in that it is more of a puzzle game than a strategy/tactics one, and only requires you to complete the objectives as optimally as you can to save time. There are not many variations to the puzzles as the shortest route is usually the best (unless you’re collecting the gold watches). The characters also have only one or two situational skills like fight, distract, bribe, pickpocket, etc., all of which are operated by a single interaction key, making things easier. Uniquely, this game allows you to manage all the actions of all the characters on a timeline, which you can alter as much as you want by going back and forth. You are basically organizing all the characters’ actions on the timeline to look like a perfectly orchestrated heist.
I think this is wonderful as this makes the game markedly distinct from the more popular real-time tactics games where you are expected to save and reload frequently to optimize your actions. However, this also exposes one big shortcoming of the game as it doesn’t have a replay option where you can view the heist play out (perhaps with cutscenes), which is a huge missed opportunity in my opinion, especially considering that games like Door Kickers offer that option. Despite its simplicity, I applaud the game for trying different things, although it doesn’t matter anymore as the game has been delisted.

It's a good puzzle game where you control different characters of the serie and rewind in time to set the actions of every character, the music its great and you dont have to break your back to get all the achievements.
The only downsides are that is kinda short and sometimes buggy. At least in my experience using the proton experimental version.

Rating:6/10
Completion difficulty:3/10
The game is a puzzle game first and foremost. Manipulate different characters to get them through an area and finish objectives, all of it under a certain time constraint. The game is good and not too hard, but I felt like it went on for too long. It's probably a must have for people that enjoyed peaky blinders, but don't overlook it if you didn't know anything about the series.

A fairly short, but a very enjoyable game. Loved the concept of the time rewind. Big high five for the development team!
