PAYDAY: The Heist is great for groups of four people looking for a challenge and the buy in price is just right for what you get, basically splitting $60 four ways. The game has great music (so good it has six pages on the steam forum asking for it to be released for purchase and we agree), good sound, decent graphics but the clear draw here is the white knuckled experience from the brutally fast and tense action that really shines. If you don’t have a group of three friends the game can go from great to ok to horrible pretty fast, the A.I. difficulty ramp is crazy hard until you slowly level your character and the lack of a mute or push to talk button can ruin even the best 3 man plans when the fourth guy disrupts everything. The missions will get repetitive if you are the type to try and level straight to lvl145 but taken in small group sessions they hold up fine and remain a blast. It’s almost the perfect carrot on a stick game to keep you coming back again and again. Those itching for more content should know that Overkill has already said they are taking suggestions for more heist levels so be on the lookout for DLC.
