Payday 2 for PC is a co-operative first person shooter game where the success of your play depends quite heavily on your team mates. The game is set in Washington, two years after the events in the first Payday, and is a well-done sequel, which keeps the best of the original game and improves where necessary.

You can make your character much more your own than in the previous incarnation of the game which was quite limited in that area. Gunplay is fairly simple, but offers a nicely authentic weightiness, recoil (where your equipment allows), and each weapon sounds different too, giving gunfights a certain satisfying realness. You can almost tell which gun is being used from the sound alone from a high-powered rifle to a beautifully muffled silencer. Skill trees are engaging and make it worthwhile to invest time and effort in improving yourself, as the better your skills, the more fun challenging missions become – and you get more rewards to boot! Stealthy Does It In this version, bang-bang shoot-em-ups are frowned upon. The developers have put a lot of work into the stealth mechanics; rewarding for those who like to tiptoe past trouble if they can –and there are plenty of bonus points for the sneakiest players.
