It’s a million-dollar idea.
Overkill’s Payday: The Heist was a welcome switch in the co-operative forumla. Instead of playing with friends as good guys, why not play as real, real bad guys?
It was brutal and fun.
Now, Payday 2 is around the corner. Overkill‘s switcheroo formula hasn’t changed that much (that we’ve seen after two hours with the game), but it’s definitely a vastly improved experience.
It’s still unrelenting and marginally psychotic. You’re still wackos wearing masks robbing banks and jewelry stores.
Our main concerns were: At least one of us suffered from some mouse lag, There was noticeable screen tearing, the game’s just too darn loud sometimes … And man, is it difficult. Even on Normal.
Otherwise, it was a blast.
WARNING: PAYDAY 2 IS NOT A NICE GAME. THERE’S LOTS OF CURSING AND SHOOTING. AND WE PLAY AS THE BAD GUYS.
