    Although Payday 2 is an early first-person shooter to hit the Nintendo Switch, it provides an average experience that’s worth skipping. The level of character customization is great and brings a sense of ownership to the adventure, but enemies are incredibly hard to see at times, often leaving the player squinting after every shot fired.

    Ultimately it doesn't matter which way you decide to play; you're having to compromise somehow, which is the story of Payday 2 on the Switch. It is an entirely functional video game that (in most respects) looks, feels and plays like Payday 2, and given the right circumstances, can also be a bit of fun. But given how readily available it is on other platforms and the concessions made with this version, it doesn't highlight Payday 2's unique brand of shooting and looting the way other platforms have for years.

    You go heisting with your friends or your NPC teammates. Sneak or Guns go blazing.

    Fun game to play with your friends and enjoy some of your stupid decision you make in game LOL. John Wick is a playable character but just don't expect the VA will be the same, believe me. You can customize your guns, melee, grenades, and attachments to your guns. 2 playstyles, it's either you go sneaky-bricky or you give them hell either way works. If you buy a character (real money :slightly_frowning_face:), the character you bought will also unlock his/her weapon, melee, and throwables (if there is any). For me overall, ***9.5/10***.

    PayDay is one of this multiplayer games that you can lauch 5 years after the first time you played it, and still having fun. PayDay 2 content is extremely huge, with various missions and weapons that offers you hours of gaming, especially with the fact that there are severals ways to do a mission (Basiclly loud or stealth) and that some elements of missions change when you restart it (The emplacement of a vault or a keycard for exemple). If you're looking for a perfect game to play with friends, definitly go for it!
