Pros
- + Recognizable characters with noticeable personality
- + Nice shooting mechanics and animation
- + Huge amount of items to discover the story and key figures
- + Flexible controls: teleport & loco
- + Nice choreography and animations
Cons
- – Very short (less than 2 hours)

We recommend this game to the fans of TV series, who might be interested to have a short voyage to Peaky Blinders epoch and be one of them. For other audience it's a nice light story game with good shooter elements and mid-level graphics. Game is announced on PC VR later this year and we hope we'll see a bit better graphics.
