PAYDAY 2 - Review

PAYDAY 2

   A heist game that can be played with up to 4 people. There are two types of heists; you can rob stealthily like a shadow, without triggering the alarm, or you can grab your heavy weapons, put on your armor, and rush in. I prefer doing stealthy heists—trying not to get caught and stealing cash, guns, gold, and other items is much more fun.

   According to your level, you can choose from 5 different skill trees. These are Mastermind, Enforcer, Technician, Ghost, Fugitive. Each has its own benefits for the team and unlockable features for individual bonuses. After certain unlocks, you get access to different equipment, stronger weapons, armor, and so on. Apart from skills, there are perks, which also provide extra enhancements. You can unlock these with xp as well.

   Depending on the power of the weapons you take with you, the chances of being suspected when going for the heist increases, making it harder to perform a stealth heist. You can set these up before entering the game and check what equipment your teammates have in the game lobby. You can also put extra items such as an ammo bag or additional bags for bodies at the place you're going to rob, access cameras, and do many other similar things. Of course, you have to pay a certain amount for these extra additions.

   You can customize your weapons; you can modify many aspects like scopes, barrels, magazines. If you have skins, you can equip them. When the heist starts, you put on a mask, and you can create your own mask. There is also your own house in the game, called the Safe House, where you can see your money.

   The music in the game and the way it kicks in is legendary—when the police attack, the bass-heavy, hype tracks really add to the excitement, and you can select the song before entering the game. If you want to play alone, without even having computer bots with you, you can set that up, but you only get 1/4th of the money from the heist.

   In terms of graphics and gameplay, it is more successful and satisfying than the first game in the series, The Heist. In addition, new DLCs are constantly being released and the game is kept up to date. VR support has even arrived. If you want to have fun with your friends or alone, I definitely recommend it.
   
My score for the game: 🎮🎮🎮🎮
