So, last I wrote a review about PAYDAY 2, it was after the Black Market Update and Overkill seems to have redeemed itself. Thus, it is only fair that I review this again.

The gameplay is amazing though I would recommend playing with your friends who actually know what to do then risk playing with strangers who may have no clue what a tazer is. The Graphics for this game is pretty decent and the voice acting is complete (except poor Wolf because his voice actor left Overkill)

Although there is weapon skins with stat boosts to give you an advantage, stat boosts can be obtained through gameplay. Futhermore, the stat boosts seem to offer negligible bonuses. The skins do give PAYDAY 2 an economy though which is nice.

A few complaints I have with this game is that the game is not very well optimised. The game's file size is very large and each update download takes forever. It has also started lagging me recently though partially due to my aging computer.

There is also a ton of DLCs for this game. Some are more important than others and doing heists without these DLCs increases the difficulty significantly especially when dealing with specials or large crowds.

TL;DR Worth a try, but buy during a sale.
