I had Monaco 2 on my watchlist. Now it’s on sale and it reminded me that I never really joined a multiplayer game in the first one. Because I’m afraid that being a noob I will ruin the game for everyone. Same with Due Process. Of course that is a vicious cycle where I keep being noob but don’t join a game out of fear of doing a noob thing. Not noticing something important, not timing something right, etc
Multiplayer in itself is not a problem, I have been playing other multiplayer titles. Both as a noob and a veteran. But the heist theme feels daunting
In a way I feel Payday was kind of easier in that regard because it was geared towards that “oops, I guess we are shooting now”
Has anyone had similar feeling? I probably should “just do it"
I feel like on the first game I should warn the lobby that I’m a noob, at which point I expect half of them to leave :D

As an aside, if you want to try a fun heist game without needing to worry about letting down any teammates, I highly recommend checking out Heat Signature.
It’s single-player and is a 2D, top-down heist game where you sneak aboard space ships to complete objectives like assassinating a crew member, stealing something valuable, hijacking the entire ship, etc.
It looks simple, but things get crazy fast. One minute you’re sneaking behind guards and knocking them out with a wrench, the next you’re teleporting into a locked cabin, shooting out the glass so the explosive decompression blows you and your target into space, then teleporting back to your original location (because you used a recall teleporter that does so automatically after a few seconds) while they slowly asphyxiate, before hacking the nearby turrets to shoot down any investigating guards while you sprint back to your shuttle and escape.

Thanks for suggestion
I played it and it was cool. Gunpoint from the same developer was also a blast

I’d also recommend Invisible Inc., it’s a top down stealth and kinda puzzle game that I played a lot when it was called Incognita. Completely single player with lots of replayability

I loved that game. It’s been a while since I played but I remember the only way I could reliably do the max-difficulty missions quickly was by using the brick spaceship to smash directly into the room where the target was or something insane like that!
