It took me ten years to figure out how to make a good Dodge build, then the game became fun for me. Still better than Payday 3, despite the DLC hogging.

Nov. 2024

Lost but not forgotten, even after all these year it still has its issues but at least its still in better shape than PD3 and more enjoyable.

Aug. 2024

One of the worst games I've loved. Fun gameplay and a ton of personality, but terribly mismanaged in its later years and a buggy mess from start to finish. 4,35€ well spent.

June 2024

Payday 3 was a fantastic game to remind us how payday 2 is better
