Payday 2 used to be a fantastic co-op siege shooter with a lot of depth and a host of options. As of this October, however, it has completed its long, slow metamorphosis into a microtransaction-based DLC hell, complete with devs that cheerfully flip the bird to their fanbase. It's a crying shame given how much time and money I've put into the game, but I can't recommend what was once a great experience in good conscience anymore.

Try Vermintide instead!
