Professional reviews from gaming critics
Payday 2 is a fantastic game to play on the Deck with single-player and multi-player support and tons of content, as well as a very cheap price tag.
“Although it could perhaps have used a bit more time in development, Overkill Software delivers a satisfying co-op heist game in 'Payday 2'.”
Payday 2 is a step in the right direction for co-op action still throttled by lame single-player and an annoying unlock system.
PAYDAY 2 is undeniably rough and needs a couple of updates to fill in a few blanks, but the thrill of robbing banks, smashing jewel cases, and cooking meth is too great for the asking price not be returned to the player in spades. If you’re willing to work with a team and get involved in some delightfully chaotic situations, the world of poorly made drills and unnecessary amounts of violence is one well worth investing in.
An offline bomb, Payday 2 erupts into quite the beast when taken online.
Payday 3 is a great version of Payday, which in itself was a whole lot of fun. At a decent price and with frantic heist action when things go wrong there is such a lot of fun to get out of the game but we are left wondering whether we could have seen more new stuff after a decade of waiting for this follow-up. It will live or die on the loyalty of the playerbase which hopefully means it will do well.
Payday 2 is the next installment in the bank robbery shooter adding new features such as a skill and progression system, as well as four classes/professions, each giving you unique abilities.
Payday 2 has a lot of good ideas, but is held back by a bevy of issues. For those who have a dedicated group to play with online there are hours worth of fun to be had overcoming the more difficult challenges. However, If you’ll need to rely on random players the fun can only go so far without any form of communication. And if playing solo is your only option, I’d highly suggest thinking twice because quite frankly playing alone is not very much fun at all.
Can you keep your cool when the stakes are high, the A.I is frustrating and there are more policemen outside than there are stars in the sky? Payday 2 wants to know.
Payday 2, the latest from Starbreeze Studios, is a decent first-person shooter for Nintendo Switch. While it succeeds in some areas, it also manages to fall fla
Following the money, you’ll gain experience. You get XP points for teamwork, everyone finishing the mission alive, loot you grab, and you can level up pretty quickly if you play the game properly. Finally after the XP screen, you’ll get your ‘payday’. You see three cards and you have to pick one, this is how you unlock masks, gun attachments, mask colours and patterns. This was really the only feature I didn’t like, I thought the ‘payday’ would be better used for rare items or money/XP bonuses.
