    Payday 2 is an immersive and intense "Crime Fantasy" experience and one of those games you like to talk about at a campfire.

    Payday 2 Crimewave Edition brings all the fun of Payday to the console. It's the game to buy if you're looking for a new, smart shooter.

    The game has been expanded thoroughly in the last two years, and is getting another round of support from the devs. If you haven't tried it yet, this current gen edition is a great chance to do so.

    It’s mildly disappointing to see the framerate capped, and that bots are still in the same state after all this time, but Payday 2’s deep mechanics and purity of vision still make it one of the best, yet most overlooked multiplayer games you can play today.

    Payday 2: Crimewave Edition is the perfect game for current-gen owners who have always wanted to rob a bank, but never wanted to go to jail.

    Payday 2: Crimewave Edition is way better than the original, although it still forces you to play multiplayer in order to fully enjoy the experience. Keeping that in mind, if you're looking for an unusual co-op first person shooter, this game should give you several hundreds hours of fun.

    Better than the original, Payday 2 is a brilliant co-op action game that recreates perfectly the lives of a group of bank robbers.

    Even with all of its problems, it's really hard not to fall a little bit in love with Payday 2: Crimewave Edition – purely from the thrill of pulling off capers with a crew.

    With its deep gameplay and lots of missions, weapons and abilities to unlock, Payday 2: Crimewave Edition is a solid choice if you're looking for a good cooperative heist shooter.

    If you already have the previous edition of PayDay 2 (especially the PC version), you might see the Crimewave Edition as a robbery in broad daylight. If you don’t – it’s the best “robber simulator” there is. [09/2015, p.45]

    A content stuffed version of 2013's Payday 2, what Payday Crimewave Edition lacks in single-player allure and aesthetic sheen, it more than makes up for with its irresistibly compelling multiplayer heists.

    This is not the best remastered game we've seen –some technical issues, not too much new content–, but it still is a really fun experience.

    300+ hours of quality co-op @ $40!

    My PC is getting old, and havn't delievered the optimal Payday 2 experience. But after 400+ hours of    300+ hours of quality co-op @ $40!

    My PC is getting old, and havn't delievered the optimal Payday 2 experience. But after 400+ hours of play time I was still psyched about the Crimewave edition for my PS4, and I'm not dissapointed. Overkill has promised better support for updates on Crimewave, and judging by their fantastic PC support, I'm trusting them to pull this off.

    As said, at $40, you can't go wrong with this one. Call your friends and start planning heists!.    … Full Review »
