PAYDAY 2 Reviews

this game causes me physical pain, screw you for making me play it Piss Man

Just shitposting with friends and not playing overtly religiously, this game is fucking amazing, years behind on the craze and payday 3 was mediocre at best, but nothing will beat beating down cops with a pickaxe

Payday 2 a classic. It’s a fun game to play with friends. Alone? Not so much – the NPCs are kinda dumb. And honestly, I still have no idea how to properly do the drug mission. Leveling up can also be a bit annoying. But aside from that, it’s a good game! I definitely recommend it with friends – the bank robbery missions are super fun to play.

This is one of the greatest PC co-op shooters of all time, a timeless classic, a must-play. Are you a fan of games that require an ADHD amount of user inputs, with heavy emphasis on text communications, and hundreds of hours of content to explore? Payday 2. They don't make games like this anymore, not even the Payday dev.

This game is so good even today, you can't really get board of a game like this I recommend playing this game, there is so many things you can do and different play styles you can do, every heist will be different depending on what skills, equipment, and weapons you bring. 10/10 its worth buying

placing drills, fixing drills. Perfect. Bad optimization but runs great. Some heists make my pc overheat lol and lastly there is SO MUCH DLC. like 75% of the game is dlc. Its fun to play with friends

Great game, Havn't played Payday 3 but I don't really plan to with how much fun I'm having in this game lol I prefer going loud in the missions but the highest difficulty I've done is "Very Hard" so that might change in higher difficulties. Only 1 negative i can say is the amount of recoil some guns have is insane to me and the recoil pattern is hard to follow(to mitigate the recoil effects on your aim) Overall a fantastic game and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who's thinking about picking this game up. Definitely worth the price and the DLCs, even tho I don't like DLCs, are also worth but make sure to get the ones with missions first then get the rest, that's what I recommend. 11/10 would recommend again.

I used to enjoy this game a lot long time ago. Have returned after a while and now I find this game literally unplayable with the way it randomly freezes in a mid-game and kicks all your buddies. Found no fix of this problem, there are plenty of players having the same issue though. Not worth bying at the moment.

The stealth is fun, loud would be fun too if I was any good at cover based shooters. I'm too stubborn to play anything below Death Sentence. The game has quite a large level of skill expression for all aspects of the game, but the stealth is where the game truely shines, imo. The stealth is definitely super buggy, and many players may get frustrated at 1 mistake cascading into an unsalvageable mess forcing you to restart, but to me that's most of the fun. The stealth maps are designed in a way where if you go in with a proper strategy and knowledge of the map, you can make strategic kills to make different areas safer to make transporting loot effectively risk free. That or if you learn which guards patrol where, you can easily keep track of where the guards are and eliminate all risk with just good routing. The process of learning this can be a bit frustrating, but going from taking heists very slowly, to being able to skirt around guards confidently is super satisfying. The game allows you to do "fast paced" stealth, which truly makes you feel like a legendary thief out of fiction. In a similar sense, loud (at the highest difficulty) has a similar sense of progression. I found that learning different mechanics in loud, and learning the spawns on different heists contributed the most to being able to somewhat handle the mode. I can imagine with more time and a bit more skill, I would enjoy loud a bit more. Loud plays as a hoard based shooter, and on high difficulties, a hoard based cover shooter, where you need to be out of enemy line of sight to let your armor regen, which prevents you from getting oneshot. If your armor gets broken? Go back in cover and let it regen. There's other perks/skills that help break this gameplay loop, for example some "classes" allow you to stun all guards in your line of sight, some turn the damage you take in a damage over time affect that you can mitigate by not taking damage for a bit, some help regen armor, some gives you a chance to dodge, etc. There's also a skill that lets you regen armor by shooting a head. If you actually take the time to learn these mechanics and playstyles properly, the highest difficulty of loud is quite feasible. If that sounds too difficult, the lower difficulties are just as fun, and play more like a hoard shooter. All the heists are quite fun, with lots of variety. Where one you might burn a giant hole into a vault room, the other may have you hijack a car thats on display, and send it flying through locked doors. This adds quite a bit of replayability to the overall loud gameplay loop in general. Anyways if you're looking for a criminal roleplay game, this covers both the stealthy and very non stealthy sides fairly well.

Payday 2—on console, it’s an absolute blast. Nothing beats the thrill of a heist, getting in and out with your crew, and feeling like a criminal mastermind. But let’s be honest, the game’s pretty arcadey. You can get into an epic shootout with the cops and somehow survive without a scratch, which kind of breaks the immersion. And honestly, there’s no real competition for the third installment—it’s just not on the same level. Payday 2 has that perfect mix of chaos and strategy, but Payday 3? Feels a little too much like it’s trying to be something it’s not. Still, the fun is real, even if it’s a bit over-the-top.
