I purchased Monaco, haven't played it but it's got 83 on Metacritic and 96% of its team reviews are positive, so I doubt it's bad. Here's some "reviews" from the /r/GameDeals thread about it:
>Highly suggest getting Monaco, fun game and a great price too.
>>While I totally agree I would say only get it if you have people to play it with, single player got a bit boring for me.
>If you like stealth games, then the single player is fun (though it WILL get frustrating on higher levels if you're trying to collect all the coins, I gave up trying to collect all the coins on the last two levels).
Co-op is a fun cluster-fuck blast, though.
>Counterpoint:
I didn't care for this game. It's got a lot of style and the music is fun, but the gameplay just doesn't get
fun. Even co-op didn't help. My friend and I quit after a few levels, it was not interesting enough. Also, the screens are
reallybusy. Way too cluttered which makes it difficult to tell one thing from the other. Or where the stairs are. Or if I'm drilling through the right wall.
In my opinion, not worth the time.
>Just bought Monaco and played a few missions. Man, this game is fun. Cant wait to play it in Coop

To be honest, the UI is a little hard to parse at first; there's a lot going on and a lot of movement and bright colors.
As to heists, Monaco's a fun game but if you're looking for a game of well-planned, well-executed heists this might not be the game for you. The multiplayer is (usually) fairly chaotic, a more yakkety-sax style game.
If you're playing by yourself or with friends you can physically slap in the head when they do something dumb, you can play with relative stealth just fine.
If you do buy it, play it for awhile, the difficulty doesn't really pick up until maybe 7 missions in.
Overall, though, I highly recommend it.
So yeah. Mixed reviews.
