I’m re-reviewing this game after five years so here we go

Payday 2 is a cooperative first person hoard shooter in which a team of up to four heisters attempt to rob a variety of venues ranging from jewelry stores and banks to rival gangs and secret military facilities. The game also features optional stealth mechanics and a wide selection of weapons to suit your every conceivable need.

Moving on from that I can speak about my personal experience with this game.
Like most of the community for this game I have developed a love-hate relationship with it. This is mostly due to once passing a level of experience in the game the flaws in its engine and development become obvious and infuritation. The game is completely different from release and has suffered from Immense power creep over the years to the point where almost every weapon has 3 identical like it and the highest difficulty content is ridiculous.

Yet despite all that this game still manages to pull me back in every few months to try and remember when I didn't know what I was doing and every heist was a learning experience.

Would I recommend this game?Maybe... It has far too many DLC and a decent amount of them are unnecessary. If you do want to start playing I’d recommend picking up the DLC when “Ultimate Bundle” goes on sale. But either way this game has a ♥♥♥♥ ton of content to experience and if played casually the game is still very enjoyable.
