GamesAsylum: "We hope that there’s nobody out there shallow enough to judge Payday 2 by its rough appearance alone. Then again, it wouldn’t entirely be a bad thing – the fewer idiots playing this co-op shooter online the better"
GB: "Of course, Payday 2 has had its fair share of ups and downs as well, in spite of the success that it has enjoyed. For starters, the disparity between the game’s PC and console versions is a major issue that plagued the game for years on end, thanks to the frustrating optimization issues across platforms brought about by the Diesel Engine, which the game was developed on."

Payday 2 launched 10 years ago today, and a constant stream of updates still makes it worth playing ahead of Payday 3.

Starting today, Payday 2 is free at Epic Games Store. The free game offer runs until June 15. Once you claim it, it's yours to keep.
