Payday 2 review:

I like co-op games a lot. And this is a great co-op game. You'll really enjoy it when you play it with friends or with people you can communicate good. Communication is really important, especially when you try it on stealth!

That's also the second thing. In this game you can choose (most maps) to do it stealth or loud.

The maps in Payday 2 have different set-ups, like the original Bank Heist. The vault and security room can be on two different places. That's generated random.

The weapon system is also very good. There a many different primary and secundairy weapons. All weapons can be fully modded with many different attachments. For example, you can equip it with a silencer to make it silent, but that inflicts damage a lot. Or you equip it with a long barrel to increase the accuracy, but you will be seen more easily by guards. You can also buy a lot of masks and repaint then or give them a nice pattern.

I do like the idea of mixing paid content with free content. Overkill Software does a really good job with it. It's not that they put all the small, boring things in the free DLC's and the good things in the paid DLC's. Overkill Software put, after the release in August 2013, still many DLC's online and they said they aren't done with Payday 2 yet. There are 16 DLC´s now (14 paid, 9 free), not counting the free community stuff.

Payday 2 also has a very big (about 2,000,000 million people strong) community! Overkill Software does give the people what they want (via the community) and you also get extra in-game stuff when you join the community.

With so many people, it's easy to find a match you like.

The game also has an auto-cheater kick option so that your game will not be screwed up be cheaters.

A great thing in the game, in my opinion, is the soundtrack. I really, really, really like the music Simon Viklund made for Payday 2!

On this very moment, there are 22 heists playable and most of them in five different difficulties, some in four difficulties (pro jobs).

Some disadvantage: The demo of Payday 2 doesn't give you a really good perspective of the game.
Payday 2 has had very much updates, bugfixes and the money/xp system has been changed very much. The demo instead hans't been updated....

And second, the in-game voice chat isn't really good, because the in-game sounds and music are much louder then the voice chat can. But you can easily fix that by communicating via Skype, Teamspeak or something like that.

I recommend to play the game at a friends house or something like that to experience the game how it really is right now. Then it's easier for you to decide if you like it or not.

I can really recommend this game, especially when you like playing co-op.

10/10, a must have!
