Payday 2 Christmas Heist
Starbreeze Studios

Well that all got really heavy so let’s talk about a game where your only goal is to do crimes and rob banks. Nice one. Cooperative action-heavy mischief is rife in Payday 2 where you’ll take on contracts of varying stakes and rewards. You’ll build up your guns and gear as you go, as well as investing in any of five skill trees designed to get you in and out with as little or as much chaos as you prefer. There are also more mask options than its predecessor so at least it’s both stylish and COVID-safe.
