Review as of 1/5/17. The game isn't worth the money. Let's start with the main issue of the loading screen. Every time you choose a mission, you need to teleport. The loading time ranges between 15 to 30 minutes because the screen just freezes on you and you can't do anything (my gaming system is powerful so it's not my computer). It gives you a loading error from the windows itself asking if you want to force shut the application and that happens multiple times throughout the loading screen. After 30 minutes of wait time when you finally get to the actual mission, the rendering is horrible. It lags as if you are playing some online multiplayer at 600 ping. You can barelly move and everything just clitches. You have to restart the game and load the mission again. I find it that on the second try it works better. Keep in mind you need to do this after each mission. I can go through the whole map and the mission in 15 minutes or so and the loading time is way greater than that (so no play time just wait time).

Issue with gameplay is another story. I like harder difficulties and in this game you can go through the whole thing with the basic blade and no upgrades. If you have experience playing something similar, you will have no problem finishing the game like that. No upgrades needed or other weapons needed to complete it. I like the gameplay to challange me and require me to use some other weapons or try to get better upgrades but here its simply just an addition, yet you would do just fine without anything but your original blades.

The storyline isn't bad and the characters are pretty decent but the above mentioned issues make it almost unbearable and most centraily impossible to enjoy the game. Very frustrating that the game has been released in this form. Hopefully the patch will make it better.

Payday2 is one of the most interesting games I have played in years. With all the dlc I bought, the game offers a big choice of gun and maps. The only downside is that when the host leaves the game, the game is over and you get nothing. Outside of that, this game is phenomenal!

One of the best competitive games!
