If you read none of the below, know that this game will go on discount on Amazon for $9.79USD in a few weeks time, and possibly even less in the upcoming Steam sales
1 cent cheaper than the Steam Store, you can grab Payday 2 over on GMG for $17.99USD. This promotion is most likely due to the recent update the game has received in the form of DLC
This is my general impression of the game:
- It's a heist game in which most of the time your objective is to steal items of worth, a concept which is used across different maps in the form of different items of interest.
- Highly customisable guns and masks, incredibly rewarding gameplay, amazing soundtrack
- Eventually turns into a grinding simulator, whereby you just want to play a particular map over and over for its short objectives in order to get to "Payday", the screen whereby you get to choose one card out of 3, and hope it's an item/material you wanted to customise your gun or mask.
Is it fun? Yes. Is it still fun after 110 hours? Yes, but only if you enjoy the RNG nature of card flipping and have friends to play with.
I'll be including a coupon code eventually for a higher discount should I find it.
TBH, I'd prefer to just buy it from the Steam store, me copy/pasting the code into Steam would cost more than 1c! :P
