Payday: The Heist

Our analysis

A harsh takedown calling this bank-robbing shooter a culmination of everything wrong with the genre: shoddy aiming, dumb weaponry, and endless single-file enemy cops that swarm in. Ammo runs dry almost instantly and is nearly impossible to recover, leaving you and your AI teammates to die, and the four-player co-op is dismissed as just multiplying the misery. The clown-mask Dark Knight aesthetic is mocked as derivative.
