In this game, you can (and will):
-shoot civilians (and maybe even some cops)
-cause several businesses to close
-make money through very legal methods
-produce many non-illegal drugs
-definitely not play doom music while robbing a bank with a minigun and no regard for human life

Honestly, after playing this game for so long, it's about time I leave my review.
Games are great, as in they're better than Payday 3, but my god, did they decide to fuck this game over before making a new one? Honestly fuck you, Starbreeze, for this dumb shit. Fucking hate the new AI this game has and not following set patterns anymore. On top of ruining the AI, they decided to change mission details like NO Mercy, which used to be completely stealthable, but now apparently is no longer an option, like WTF.
Overall, games is great, absolutely better than Payday 3, just hate the developers for fucking the game after they decided to make a new one.

The only game where you can play as an 80s chicken head-wearing mass murderer alongside Tony Montana, where you both whack an entire army of SWAT units with a massive spoon to prevent them from stealing your goats while waiting for them to be airlifted

Played on console (PS4) 100+ hours and on PC 60+ hours. This a very fun and addictive game. There are tons of weapons in the game to try out, some being more silly like a flamethrower or a bow and arrow. Lots of skills which can be freely refunded in order to try new things. Each heist is slightly randomized which helps the game's replayability. For example a the vault could be in the back of a bank, but on a different playthrough it could be at the front. A bunch a different masks ranging from cute to funny to just cool looking. Lots of different perks to help your playstyle. All kinds of special enemies to deal with. Two other gamemodes to choose from bring Crimespree which I can only describe as a kinda rougelike when failing a heist ends your spree, and a wave survival mode where you defend a hostage. The game goes on sale regularly but is still worth it full price, with the DLC only adding more stuff. Some DLCs being better or worse admittedly.

The game is fun and I love Payday, but after playing for hours and not touching the game in awhile, I come back to it just not starting anymore. At all. It makes no sense since it wasn't ever a problem until a few days ago and I have done literally everything, looked at countless community posts and Reddit posts, even YouTube videos. And it will load if for a few seconds on Steam, then just close each time. Even though I bought this game AND numerous DLCs on sale, it still bothers me that I literally can't play it anymore.
