OPM: The original Payday was an interesting idea: a co-op online robbery simulator that saw you stage a range of heists. Providing you got together a few mates you could trust it was an interesting experience as you all worked together to neutralise alarms, pacify hostages, drill safes and fight off hordes of police.
GB: "Of course, Payday 2 has had its fair share of ups and downs as well, in spite of the success that it has enjoyed. For starters, the disparity between the game’s PC and console versions is a major issue that plagued the game for years on end, thanks to the frustrating optimization issues across platforms brought about by the Diesel Engine, which the game was developed on."
Payday 2 launched 10 years ago today, and a constant stream of updates still makes it worth playing ahead of Payday 3.
Starting today, Payday 2 is free at Epic Games Store. The free game offer runs until June 15. Once you claim it, it's yours to keep.
