Payday 2 is the answer to that. It’s a co-op heist game where you need to work and communicate with others. It’s not anti-social at all. Well, apart from the bits where you’re shooting hundreds of lawmen and robbing people blind. That’s a bit anti-social.Payday 2 Let’s get the story bit out-of-the-way nice and quick. To be fair, it’s little more than a premise than it is an actual story. You play as a professional criminal who’s ‘back in the game’. Your boss sets you up with a safe-house and a laptop that connects to Crime.NET.
Yes, that’s right, you hook up to a network of criminals and from this you pick jobs to do. Let’s hope the police don’t ever Google the term ‘Crime’, else everyone’s in trouble.
That’s pretty much it for story. You’re a criminal. You have a house. You use a laptop to find missions. Done.
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.
