The idea of the game is simple: you have a criminal goal to complete such as robbing a bank or doing a jewellery shop over, and you have to try not to get caught. Whether you want to scope the place out, and do it all nice and quietly, or go in guns blazing is up to you; just don’t let the cops get ya!
GB: "Of course, Payday 2 has had its fair share of ups and downs as well, in spite of the success that it has enjoyed. For starters, the disparity between the game’s PC and console versions is a major issue that plagued the game for years on end, thanks to the frustrating optimization issues across platforms brought about by the Diesel Engine, which the game was developed on."
Payday 2 launched 10 years ago today, and a constant stream of updates still makes it worth playing ahead of Payday 3.
Starting today, Payday 2 is free at Epic Games Store. The free game offer runs until June 15. Once you claim it, it's yours to keep.
