GearNuke: The sequel to Overkill Software’s crime-based shooter, Payday 2 is a game about a bunch of like-minded crooks who perform elaborate heists in return for some quick money. While the original offered a bit of a fresh take on Left 4 Dead’s classic coop gameplay, the sequel aims to take it to the next level with several additional layers of variety.
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.
