“Although it could perhaps have used a bit more time in development, Overkill Software delivers a satisfying co-op heist game in 'Payday 2'.”

8/10

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.

Be it committing genocide on all the cops in Washington DC or being more stealthy than Stealth Stealtherson McStealthington, add the fact that it's a whole 50% cheaper than most games at release and you will find that Payday 2 is a game built where you will enjoy yourself either way.

Payday 2 is a step in the right direction for co-op action still throttled by lame single-player and an annoying unlock system.

8/10

An offline bomb, Payday 2 erupts into quite the beast when taken online.

70/100

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 we...

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.
