If you can get past the first few hours, which are still fun, you will find a great team-based shooter that romanticises that which was portrayed as gritty, and yet feels involving and tense in its finest moments. With the promise of DLC and a healthy customisation, the community ought to stick around before they decide to live off their overseas account for the rest of their lives. It’s worth joining their escapades.
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.
Sounds like fun, despite its drawbacks. Bit more polished than the first, definitely.
It's definitely a great game. The coop experience with friends is amazing.
