🔞 ADULT: App//reviews - Collection

I am a 46-year-old single father, probably not the target audience for a game about robbing banks. My son, who is 15 now, asked me to buy Payday 2 because he said it was chaotic, funny, and best played with friends. I assumed it would be another game I watched from the sidelines, nodding along without really understanding what was happening.

At first, that’s exactly what it was. I watched him plan heists, mess up stealth, turn everything loud, and somehow still survive. There was shouting, confusion, and a lot of restarting. I didn’t get the builds, the perks, or the obsession with drills. I was just the dad in the background.

One night, after he went to bed, I launched the game myself. I failed. A lot. I tripped alarms, got overwhelmed, and went down more times than I’d like to admit. Slowly, things started to click. Positioning mattered. Teamwork mattered. Knowing when to panic and when to hold your ground mattered. It wasn’t just chaos. There was rhythm to it.

The next day, we played together. Side by side. Calling out enemies, sharing ammo, laughing when things went wrong. For a few hours, we weren’t just father and son. We were a crew trying to get out alive.

Payday 2 is messy, loud, and far from perfect. But it gave us something simple and rare: time together, on equal footing.

For that alone, it was worth it.

It would be really cool if they added a mission where you have to steal ram sticks from ai companies

Best FPS built on a racing game engine. Ironically, it has horrible driving controls.
It's pretty good though. Would recommend.
