Fittingly, PayDay 2 is a lot like a bank heist. If you pick your crew well, everything comes together like a well-oiled machine, and everybody gets rich. If, on the other hand, you leave the guy with the IQ of a toaster in charge of grabbing the money while you guard the hostages, you’ve booked yourself a one-way ticket to San Quentin. Like most co-op games, PayDay 2 is only as good as the people you're playing with, but when everyone involved plays it the way it's meant to be played, the rewards include challenging, high-tension action, and intense running gunbattles.
