Payday 2 is a cooperative first-person shooter video game developed by Overkill Software and published by 505 Games has former published by Sony. The game is a sequel to 2011's Payday: The Heist. It was released on 13 August 2013 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. An improved version of the game, subtitled Crimewave Edition, was released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in June 2015 (on 12 June in the UK and Europe and on 16 June in North America). The game has been announced for the Nintendo Switch and will come out in the fall of 2017.

Played as intended with a group of friends, PayDay 2 is much like one of its heists: things can get a little sloppy, but the potential payoff is big. Parts of its presentation are lacking, and the state of its single-player is criminal, but overall, it's a deep, addictive co-op shooter that tickled my inner burglar.

Overall, I would give this game a 9/10. The game is a lot of fun, especially if you like stealthing. It requires actual thinking and planning (or dumb luck). The game is a million times more fun with friends, because you don't have to shoot up all the civilians because you run out of zip ties..
