Lets Play: PAYDAY: The Heist

This week i picked up the new issue of PC gamer and along with the awesome articles was a code for a free copy of PAYDAY: The Heist!


Payday was developed by OverKill Software and published by Sony Online Entertainment and plays as a 4-player co-operative first person shooter. You play as one of four robbers who must work together to go complete a series of heists. There are 9 heists in total(you need the wolf pack dlc for 2 of them) ranging from robbing a bank to breaking into mercy hospital.

So far i have only played a few hours of payday on-line with mark and scott but it is pretty awesome. There are lots of intense moments in the game and you really need to work as a team to achieve your objectives otherwise things can fall apart pretty quickly and before you know it your handcuffed and on the floor while your team-mates are a man down.

Overall payday is a very good game, there are a few parts which could have been a little bit better such as the sawing sequences take forever and get a little bit repetitive however the adaptive enemy tactics meaning no scenario will ever play out the same way twice help to keep things interesting and challenging. There are also a few bits where the AI are a little silly or when you shoot people and they go flying up in the air or a mile down the street but this isn't a big deal and personally i think it adds to the character of the game.

I definetly recommend picking up a copy of payday if you can. if you are ever around a big supermarket go in and get yourself a copy of PC gamer, it is a fantastic magazine and this months issue has a steam code for PAYDAY: The Hesit and the dota 2 beta. If not it is available on steam and PlayStation 3 on the PSN store for around £15.

Here is a video of me, mark and scott playing payday.

if you head over to marks blog he has the video from his perspective, go check it out!

Thanks for reading! Any feedback is greatly appreciated and i would love to hear from you.
