GameCloud: "Payday 2 has the potential to be one of the best multiplayer experiences ever created, and I can testify to that, but it also requires the right combination of people, and sadly you will not often find this in matchmaking. As we all grow older (relevant as the game is rated 18+), it makes it harder to co-ordinate our time with other people on a regular basis, so when it comes to a game that demands a lot of my own time in order to unlock weapons and develop skill trees, this is just not something I can justify ongoing if it’s not going to be fun without my friends."
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.
