Of all genres present in gaming, heists are surprisingly under-represented.

They can appear as occasional plot points in some games, but how many games do you know entirely revolving about that? The easy answer would be “two” — Payday: the Heist and Payday 2.

Payday 2 is especially worth the attention of any fan of heist movies, co-op games, and first-person action, because it’s an exciting blend of them all!

Plan your approach, take the most relevant gear, crowd-control the civilians, and bail when the cops arrive. Of course, no plan survives the first contact with reality, and Payday 2 loves keeping things exciting in a myriad different ways.

However, if you’d like the truly full experience, there is also a TON of DLC adding more heists, more cosmetic items, more everything.
