Nov 23, 201185One of the best ways to spend 20 bucks. Incredibly strong and fascinating online action. [December 2011, p.83]

Nov 3, 201185When you take into account that Payday is an indie game and the promise of potentially more levels down the lines as downloadable content, there is very little reason to not pick this game up.

Nov 15, 201184Payday: The Heist is maybe Left 4 Cops, but still a very good interpretation with nice own ideas. Continous, massive cop slaughtering could use some tweaking, as it gets somewhat monotonous. [Nov 2011]

Nov 9, 201180Payday: The Heist is one of the biggest surprises of this hot autumn market, marked by triple-A titles of absolute value. If you have 2 or 3 friends to play with, the title Overkill is a highly recommended purchase. Our congratulations to the developers for the insight: we hope to continue to support their creature with new additional missions and already we dream a sequel with an advanced AI and techinal sector. A must for lovers of the co-op.

Nov 2, 201180Payday: The Heist is like a Left 4 Dead with cops and robbers, where we play the bad guys. It offers (at least on PC) a solid co-op experience, with an good atmosphere. Too bad there is no Versus Mode.

Oct 21, 201180Payday obviously comes with some caveats, but it's a great game when everything goes right.

Nov 3, 201178Bottom line, it might not have all the bells and whistles that the blockbuster FPS games that are being released, but it doesn't have the same price tag, either. And you'll definitely get a lot of bang for your buck with this game.

Nov 29, 201175This 'bank robbing Left 4 Dead' can be very enjoyable with a well knit group of friends and a real nightmare without them, as it emphasizes precise and coordinated teamwork. [December 2011, p.98]

Nov 23, 201173Payday is already better than other low-budget multiplayer shooters (Lead and Gold, Killing Floor). It serves as a nice distraction after a hard day's work.

Dec 1, 201171Payday is the most exciting parts of your favorite movies cobbled together, swapping the brains for extra bullets. [Jan 2012, p.67]

Feb 27, 201270Entertaining cooperative multiplayer is why you should try this unconventional shooter. Technical issues and obsolete visuals prevent a higher rating. [Jan 2012]

Oct 25, 201170A game that has an amazing concept but doesn't fully deliver.
-
Oct 22, 201170There's little that takes away from the game, but also little that makes it stand out.

Oct 25, 201150Payday: The Heist has a brilliant concept at its heart, and that's further rounded out by some great art direction and some solid level design that makes a few of the missions real fun to play. Unfortunately, though, budget production values are evident in the graphics and limited selection of levels, and these factors inevitably come into conflict with a higher-than-expected price point.
