PAYDAY 2 is a cooperative first-person shooter that places players in the role of professional criminals executing heists ranging from simple store robberies to elaborate bank jobs and high-stakes art thefts. With an emphasis on teamwork, planning, and adaptability, the game offers a thrilling experience for those who enjoy cooperative play and strategic thinking.

One of the game’s standout features is its flexibility. Players can approach heists stealthily, disabling cameras and sneaking past guards, or go in guns blazing, facing waves of police reinforcements. The wide variety of heists, ranging from quick cash grabs to multi-day operations, ensures there’s always something new to tackle. Customization is another strong point, with an extensive arsenal of weapons, mods, and skill trees that allow players to tailor their loadouts and roles to suit their preferred playstyle.

However, the game's complexity and depth can also be daunting for newcomers. Learning the mechanics, mastering stealth, and coordinating with teammates take time, and the lack of a robust tutorial can leave new players feeling lost. Additionally, while the base game offers plenty of content, the sheer volume of paid DLC may be off-putting for some, as it locks certain weapons, heists, and features behind additional costs.

Despite these shortcomings, PAYDAY 2 shines as a cooperative experience. The adrenaline rush of executing a perfectly timed heist or recovering from a chaotic firefight with your crew is unmatched. Its replayability, bolstered by its variety of missions and customization options, keeps players coming back for more.

Score: 8/10 – A thrilling and dynamic co-op shooter, best enjoyed with friends and a bit of patience.

Don't get Payday 3 get this game. This game is cheap and it's DLC will get you more content than Payday 3's full price. This game costing $10 and getting $30 worth of DLC is much more content.

Payday 2 thrives on teamwork—until teammates refuse to cooperate, turning a perfect heist into a chaotic solo survival mission.

Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5)

stuff fire omm

buy a BETTER DRILL ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Payday 2 - The game about 4 clowns trying to save a developer from bankruptcy by doing literally anything for literally anyone who happens to have some work to toss to em.

Genuinely one of the best co-op games, especially for the price.
Only issue is the insane amount of DLC (though DLC heists can be played for free if the host has em')

Was playing The Biker Heist DLC on DEATH SENTENCE. I finally got the mechanic to build the old dude's bike. His name is Rust probably because he's slowly rusting away from his ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ old age. I tried to drive his motorcycle that literally has 0 acceleration leaving me vulnerable and easy to get killed. I managed to move it forward however there was a BUSH with collision WHY THE ♥♥♥♥ DOES A BUSH HAVE COLLISION! I HATE MY LIFE SO MUCH! I DEDICATED 20 MINUTES TO THIS HEIST RIGHT NOW! I THOUGHT I COULD DRIVE THROUGH A BUSH! QARGHHH
