Sony is making it illegal for me to play this game in my home country, without warning me that this could be a possibility at any given point during purchase, installation, or operation of the game in the last 65 hours of playing at the time of writing this review.

Otherwise, it's an absolutely fantastic game that's unfortunately being let down by antagonistic balancing patches against solo players, and the above mentioned interference by Sony Interactive Media, and the developers' lock-step approval of Sony's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ behaviour.

This may look like it's a very simple game, but it has more depth to it than you could have possibly expected.

It has one of the most coveted achievements you could ever go for in the steam library, and getting it is no easy feat. Prepare to spend hours coming up with the most optimal strategy, learning how to quick-shotgun, how to farm gems, the best methods to kill certain enemies, watching replays of top players and seeing how they do it, and in general just living in the eternal purgatory that is the first 100 seconds of this game.

This really is like hell. An eternal struggle against an inevitable failure, each run inching you only mere fragments further from your last attempt, and sometimes not making any progress at all. But despite your failures, you have no choice but to reach for the dagger one more time and try again.

The VR killer app, without question. It's great, and it's even better with mods. If you have VR, you need to have this.

Basically hardcore epilepsy simulator with twin stick controls and score-based leaderboards. Very fun.

Basically Cookie Clicker, but you can romance a bear.

10/10

Counter Strike will always be relevant in the PC gaming space.

Looks beautiful, sounds good, plays awful. Unchallenging and boring, not to mention buggy. Also, the UI is an absolute mess.

Only worth it for the cards. And maybe the music, but you can get that elsewhere anyway.

PSA: Overkill's Crimefest updates have added Pay2Win microtransaction weapon skins with STAT BOOSTS, that are a straight copy of CS:GO/TF2/H1Z1 weapon cases, down to rarity/wear/MUH SUPER RARE LEGENDARY KNIFE OMG. This update also ruined weapon balance, as pistols are now the most powerful weapons, even moreso than shotguns.

Overkill has made poor attempts to make right their decision of copy/paste microtransaction systems by adding drills(keys) as droppable. However the droprate is ridiculously low and shares a weekly timer with the safes(crates). The Crimefest updates were meant to be free for the whole community, and long ago promised they'd never put in microtransactions, but now, if you want the best possible experience of this game you have to:

A. Buy the game
B. Buy the DLC
C. Play for several weeks and hope to get crates and/or drills
D. Give in and buy the drills and safes to get a random weapon skin that may not even be the one you need so that you can have the full stats.

If people continue to accept this kind of behaviour, it'll never stop, and become the norm. Do not accept this as something that's fine to do, even IF they made drills droppable. Nobody knows what the droprate for them is, and it appears that having a higher infamous droprate does not in fact affect the chance for dropping Safes/Drills.

As a result, Payday 2 has become an extremely greedy game that you need to dump a lot of money into to have the full experience, and cannot be recommended.

I will modify this review if these changes are ever removed or altered enough to become reasonable again.

With all the expansions, CIV V is most likely the best entry level 4X game you could ever play. If you haven't played a 4X game before, this is most definitely worth a try.
