With Payday 3 just around the corner, I think it is finally time to review Payday 2.
This game has its quirks. Running in front of guards, fully armed and masked only for them to think it's just the wind. The drill that never works no matter how many millions you have to build a new one, the awkward AI and straight up stupid brand collaborations (Goat simulator, h3h3).
If you can look past all of that, you have an incredibly deep and satisfying heist simulator that allows for multiple ways to approach most missions. Even if you choose to Stealth a mission, there are often multiple paths to take.
The endless skilltree and perk customization, the A-level voice acting, the incredible music, endless content, even the christmas album. It's all great. Even with my 250+ hours, I have yet to see everything in the game. Considering all the patches this game has gotten over the years, I wouldn't be surprised if they have doubled the content since I last played actively.
While the devs/publisher has made some straight up stupid decisions over the years (like lying about microtransactions), you get the impression that they really do care for the community and only want the best.
I purchased this game almost 10 years ago, and it has been a game I always come back to every now and then. I am super excited for Payday 3.
