PCGamer: "Relooted is a fine heist game—but it's a better history lesson"
Just because something was taken to a museum does not mean it is not theft to steal it back. It’s funny how they glossed over this aspect They made a game about Africans stealing stuff. More on reddit.com

September 20, 2025 - Made with some skill, and could have been a decent game, but for the bumbling inserts and heavy handedness of wedging in the progressive narrative, and dropping of things deemed 'offensive'. If they'd put that effort into polishing the actual good parts, it might even have been playable. GTA is too big of a franchise to turn into the SR reboot, Dustbin, Concord, or Relooted.

Relooted is a fine heist game—but it's a better history lesson | PC Gamer
February 10, 2026 - Relooted's proactive repatriation takes place in three phases. First, I scope out the scene with a recon drone and parkour my way onto the premises. Second, after mapping out my target artifacts and the security features protecting them, it turns into a game of inverted Mousetrap, where I tactically wedge tables in the way of security doors, preemptively shatter reinforced glass, and carefully position my fellow art liberators to construct a safe route for my eventual getaway.
