Kingpin — Life of Crime Reviews
Kingpin is a tale of revenge. Take control of a street gang and order your recruits to attack, defend or even do a little safe-cracking to pick up some needed cash. Use that cash to buy nastier weapons and take down your punk enemies in this intense first-person shooter. Being the Kingpin is half attitude and all action.

Brilliant game, but have to uninstall and get a refund because it won't let me load saved data... Barely started playing it, and having problems already. Shame really as it's a real classic.

Had this game when i was like 10 - still recommend in 2025 for that old school half-life/quake feel but with more neo noir vibes.

Kingpin — Life of Crime is a pretty worthwhile experience if you like old school shooters.I found myself really impressed by the AI several times. Towards the end of the game I had two goons get in an elevator by themselves and kill a bunch of guys on the floor above me. On occasion you will have to go back to get them to follow you, but most of the time they do a really good job at keeping up. They even climb ladders and jump across gaps. I really wish your friendly AI would have voice lines, it would give them some much needed character. They are pretty useful if they are equipped with good weapons. I wasn't a massive fan of the street level at the end of the game, I got quite lost on how to progress. The story is pretty non existent, it is really just there to give you an excuse to shoot a bunch of guys. Love how grungy everything looks. The design of the characters are fantastic. Credit to the legendary Viktor Antonov (RIP) for his amazing work. Level design isn't that interesting, but that is probably mostly so that the AI can utilize the space without getting stuck. There is rewarding loot to be found if you explore optional areas. I found the game on normal difficulty pretty brutal towards the end. Enemies are no push over. The game can be pretty frustrating at the start because there is no tutorial. I recommend you look at your keybinds for some help. The steam version for some reason does not include the soundtrack for the game. I was able to add it back, but there is no way to lower the volume so I decided to play without it. The game is extremely charming, dialogue can be pretty hilarious. It's a shame they f*cked the remaster. Highly recommend using the pcgamewiki to download the MH Kingpin Patch.
