Overkill and Starbreeze have done an excellent job in refining the formula to make for one of the most fun, challenging co-op experiences in years - provided your team is patient, quick and smart.
The puzzle like mechanics and the exciting shootouts make for an excellent co-op experience. It’s a bit ironic though that the game with the most sociopathic characters so far this year also teaches you how to play best with others.
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.
