Perhaps the greatest Modern FPS Game ever made.

It's time to take a ride
On the nightmare merry-go-round

A Former friend of mine called this game "Fallout, but funny"

I found it relentlessly unfunny. There's a reason that friend is a "former" one now.

Genuinely one of the most boring games I've ever ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ played. Watching Paint Dry - The Game is genuinely more fun than this

Sincerely Regret ever buying this pack. Unfunny characters and even more unfunny podcasters. The only thing worse is payday 3.

Best Mass Murder simulator since postal...what do you mean it's a spy game?

oops i forgot to refund this game

It's Like DayZ But with Roblox Graphics....oh and It Actually managed to get released from Early Access, the guy making the game is not a complete asswipe & it's an overall far superior game so it's really comparable to DayZ In the way that there are zombies & that it's so much better than DayZ.

I regret investing 478+ hours into this garbage franchise. One of the biggest mistakes of my life.

Payday was never good. It started as a rip-off of Left 4 Dead and GTA. Overkill and Starbreeze, founded by Bo and Ulf Andersson, came from the failed company Grin. Grin developed several games, and at one point, Square-Enix mistakenly thought they were good enough to make a Final Fantasy game. They weren’t, and Square-Enix rightfully pulled out, leaving Grin bankrupt. Instead of learning from their mistakes, they blamed Square-Enix and thus payday was born, as a cashgrab series built to exploit players using any means possible to enrichen the brothers for a quick buck

The devs, incapable of admitting fault, constantly reference their backstory in the game. There’s the "Golden Grin Casino," "Overkill MC," "Overkill Boxing," and more. One of the difficulties is even named "Overkill," and one of their characters is a self-insert of Ulf Andersson, complete with a sob story about being wronged by a corporation, conveniently omitting their own incompetence and greed.

Two years later, Payday 2 was released, just as bare-bones as its predecessor. Basic features like choosing maps were added years later. They hired Almir Listo as PR Manager, someone akin to who Joseph Goebbels was to Adolf Hitler, and a cast of C-list actors like Ilia Volok, Ian Russel, Pete Gold, Georgia Van Cuylenburg, and Daimon Poitier. These actors have hardly been cast in anything aside from this garbage series, and for a good reason. Only Poitier found some success in the MCU, which hardly marks quality if your taste goes beyond surface-level popcorn flicks.

The game was made on a racing game engine, and when vehicles were added, they were unusable due to the dev team's incompetence. In 2015, the game, already stuffed with expensive DLC, implemented loot boxes, making it pay-to-win. The best weapons were locked behind gambling, and heists served as adverts to buy more loot boxes. Players were understandably pissed, and many abandoned the series. You'd think the series would end here, but you'd be dead wrong. Afterwards, Overkill-Starbreeze whitewashed their image, attracting a new generation of suckers.

Ulf Andersson left to form a new company and made an equally bad game, GTFO, with Simon Viklund. Bo went full degenerate, committing insider trading and firing key staff to cheapen the game. Bo also didn't replace Wolf's voice actor despite him being a main character, but did replace Simon Viklund with Gustavo Coutinho. Viklund's music was at least tolerable, while Coutinho's tracks are generic and soulless.

The series glorifies crime without any critical thought. Unlike GTA, Mafia or Yakuza, which have deep stories and themes, Payday exists solely to enrich its creators. In 2023, Overkill-Starbreeze broke their game with a failed crossplay attempt, making it unplayable and later that year launched Payday 3, one of the worst games ever made. It’s online-only with terrible servers, no in-game chat, and no single-player mode. The series never improved, always blaming others. The devs are incompetent and greedy, calling their players "babies" and "whiners."

Payday 3’s launch proved they learned nothing. The game is unsalvageable, with no functional gameplay, soul, or improvement. There’s no in-game chat, map choice, or meaningful weapon stats. The servers are so bad that finding a match is nearly impossible, and there's no single-player mode, leaving the game a joke.

Operation Body Bag is a joke, offering lip service to "improve" a dead game in like, what, 5 years from now? The series needs to die, and Overkill-Starbreeze deserves to go under. Do not give these scumbag devs your money. If you want a great crime game experience, play GTA, Mafia, or Yakuza. Let Payday die. It's obsolete and a blight on the gaming industry.

Den of Wolves is probably going to suck too, considering it’s helmed by one of the Andersson brothers and former composer, especially considering how GTFO turned out.

Their new D&D Live service game is equally concerning. As an avid D&D and tabletop RPG player, it’s frustrating to see WOTC and Hasbro entrust these developers with a live service game. The best-case scenario would be for this game to crash and burn, or for the project to be canceled, wasting their funds and leading to their downfall.

Let this series, and company, die for good. Overkill-Starbreeze has been nothing but a blight on the gaming industry. They don’t deserve your money. Let Payday die. It’s a relic of everything wrong with gaming in the 2010s. It is the worst crime video game series of all time. If you want a truly great crime game experience, play GTA, Mafia, or Yakuza. Those games are genuine, timeless, and unforgettable masterpieces. Or if you want a multiplayer game with similar gameplay style but more refined mechanics, play either Left 4 Dead 2(which this game series plagiarized) or Helldivers 2
