Drugs and Crime Idle

I've downloaded and played almost every free idle game on Steam over the years. Drugs and Crime Idle isn't the worst, but it's painfully slow - upgrades and progression take a long time, and prestige mechanics rely on lootboxes bought with ingame currency where you have to rely on RNG to get the items you need. Pure RNG with no pity system for a prestige mechanic.. not the first time I've seen it but in a game like this it feels like insult to injury. Unless you genuinely want to waste processing power and time on a game, I'd skip this one. It's visually static (boring), RNG reliant for progress, slow even with paid DLC, and since your action points recharge every 30 seconds you are basically doing nothing for 90% of the time you have this game open. I want more idle games to play, but this isn't a good game. It's not a copy-paste of other idlers from what I can tell, but it should've copied a few mechanics because it's not worth the time to play.

I tried to give this game a fair shot I really did but it's just poorly designed with poorly designed mechanics. Playtime is not representative of how much actual time is spent on the game because it has offline progress which you will spend yourself doing a lot of to slowly accrue crimecoin, crimecoinlite as well as money and AP. The AP feature isn't so bad on top of normal money progression it gives you the ability to do minor activities that are represented by nothing more than a pass or fail text. But the crimecoin system is pure trash, you save them up to roll on different level loot boxes which each tier has a small chance to drop specific items and by small chance i mean in over 100 rolls of the cheapest box i got 1 of the 2 items from it. The problem is in order to prestige which is a very basic mechanic you need every item from every box, based on the fact that every item in this game is represented by an achievement and almost every achievement is sitting at 5% I'm guessing most people give up without ever bothering to get 1 let alone all of them.
