    To this day one of my all time favorite games. It features a completely unique gameplay experience.
    And a lot of diversified content. The feel and tasks of the different missions sometimes differ so greatly that you might think it is an completely different game but at the same time it doesn't lose its unique PayDay like characteristics. At this moment i have over 480+ hours invested in
    To this day one of my all time favorite games. It features a completely unique gameplay experience.
    And a lot of diversified content. The feel and tasks of the different missions sometimes differ so greatly that you might think it is an completely different game but at the same time it doesn't lose its unique PayDay like characteristics. At this moment i have over 480+ hours invested in this unique experience and i am max-lvl 2600( infamy XXV 100) and the gameplay experience is one of the most polished out there.

    But there is a great down side to this otherwise masterpiece of a game and that is called
    micro-transactions and you could even say that there was some kind malicious way they got people to buy all there 40+ DLCS.
    It always starts with a DLC being released. And if you didnt own it you only had the option to play with the standard weapons and perks.
    And the no DLC weapons and perks are like sticks and rocks in comparison to the ones released in the different DLC packs.
    Playing on the hardest difficulty which is "Death Sentence" with the "ONE DOWN" modifier is almost impossible up to straight up impossible with the non pay weapons.
    And every new DLC featured guns that where straight up better than there predecessors.
    However when a new DLC got released the weapons from the previous ones got nerved so much that they either became mediocre, gimmicky or straight up usless and the new weapons became mandatory for the different end game builds.
    So it was like a vicious never ending cycle of buying the new DLC, DLC getting nerved, buying the next new DLC and so on..

    This game is simply awful. The tutorials to learn how to play are super glitchy and fail constantly. The interface is unintuitive. It's really confusing. The first mission out is robbing the bank and 300 cops throwing themselves at you. You have to run past police snipers to throw your cash in a van and drive away while the cops sit around and wonder where you went. It's just AWFUL. ThankThis game is simply awful.

    I can't say this game is so bad but can't say it's good either. It gives you some fun of playing it with friends but it could be much better in, pretty much, every aspect. Plus for that there is a lot of promises being forgotten. Like 'Payday 2 will never have microtransactions'.

    If you paid the game you can now pay all the 20 DLC's to have the complete game. We are not robbing bank accounts in this game, the game is robbing ours.

    PayDay 2 is one of the nicest surprises of the year. Overkill Software understands the atmosphere of gangster movies and wisely improves these pieces of gameplay, that might have been disappointing in the first game. The sequel is better in almost every way - you can play a thief and enjoy good character development and shooting systems. I really hope, that PayDay 3 will be even better.

    Payday 2 is an excellent co-op shooter - a vast improvement over the first one. [Sept 2013]

    A unique and captivating multiplayer experience that rewards team work over personal glory. But make sure you bring friends for the true experience. [Nov 2013, p.62]
