    Here is the real score : 9 out of 10. I'm in NZ and have been playing it like crazy and I want to let you guys know that it's awesome. Don't worry about the other versions of the game, this one has no slow down, the graphics are great (not fuzzy like doom which I loved) and the AI is nowhere near as bad as everybody keeps harping on about. It's just straight up fun and is an exciting portHere is the real score : 9 out of 10. I'm in NZ and have been playing it like crazy and I want to let you guys know that it's awesome.

It's just straight up fun and is an exciting port of the first real world shooter on the switch. It handles like a dream and just feels fun to sneak around or shooting loads of guns. Don't miss out on a wicked game guys especially those who have never tried it. 9 out of 10.… Expand

    Nintendo finally coming of age and including more mature titles like Doom, Resident Evil: Revelations, Skryrim, L.A. Noire and Payday 2 is a step in the right direction for the Switch.

In this day and age, the Switch and actually any console or gaming device needs to be versatile and appeal to more than the Mario and Zelda crowd; those hard-core gamers who also want adult games with adult content. While it may not be the perfect experience for veteran Payday players, the port brought that unrestrained intensity and uncensored mayhem I was looking for.… Expand

    PAYDAY 2 for the Nintendo Switch features plenty of content and varied missions but it cannot be seen as a fine conversion work when its AI is pitiful, the graphics are very much outdated and the one player experience is terribly dull. While it may be fun on multiplayer, PAYDAY 2 needs a lot more to stand out if it intends to prove itself.

    If you're already familiar with Payday 2 and are dying to play the game on the go with a group of equally excited friends, then Payday 2 on Switch will scratch that itch. For those unfamiliar with the Payday series looking to give it a whirl, you're better off sticking to the far cheaper (and feature complete) version of the game on PC. Meanwhile, everyone else should probably spend their money on something much newer and fresher than this.

    The great port offers a lot of potential for frustrations due to the lack of communication tools. The co-op fun ignites only with friends using Skype or similar tools.
