100 Word Review - #8 - Payday: The Heist

Take a hostage or kill a man, both valid options
Payday: The Heist

Genre - Action

Metascore - 76%

Developer - OVERKILL Software

Other Games by Developer - N/A

My Current Playtime - 17.8 hours

I was interested in this game from the first time I saw it, with its ‘L4D2’-style co-op gameplay and RPG elements. I was waiting for the inevitable price drop when some nice person bought it for me. ‘Payday’ is a hard game, especially during your early levels. The difficulty has been tweaked recently to make the higher difficulties more forgiving, but there’s still a grind before you can enjoy it properly. The game consists of 6 heists, each lasting around an hour and is varied enough for occasional play, but can become stale, especially if playing alone, so bring friends.

My Score - 7/10
