Already the premise and gameplay foundation for Contraband is intriguing: The potential of melding an open-world like Just Cause with gameplay similar to Payday 2 or GTA 5 could be incredible. However, while open-world games have seen iteration and innovation from several developers over the last few years, even fewer have been innovating in co-op focused game design. One co-op innovator is Hazelight Studio, with recent efforts like A Way Out and It Takes Two proving the studio’s capability in creating compelling and varied co-op experiences....
