There’s plenty that goes on in between each of those points, but that’s your basic flow.

Case the joint, put on your mask, take hostages (you’re penalised for harming civilians), drill into the vault, pick the locks of safety deposit boxes, escape with bags of cash. Your basic, bog standard attraction in Payday 2 is the bank robbery. No, the main draw is the safe-cracking, gold-stealing, vandalising antics of your small team. Once the police are inevitably alerted to your presence (because stealth, while an option, is hard), the guns will very much be blazing. Shooting obviously plays a big part in this. Centring on a series of madcap heists, the game requires up to four players to work together in order to become rich. Those who missed it first time around may well look at the screens and see just another Grand Theft Auto knock-off, but this is not the case. Despite all this, Crimewave Edition is still well worth your time. Not only does it look like every other gritty crime blaster out there, it’s also yet another repackaged release, originally launched on the last-gen consoles in 2013, and now given a fresh spray job for the current platforms.
It promised a day-glo family-friendly revolution – and now here comes Payday 2 Crimewave Edition.

T wo weeks ago, the delightful Splatoon arrived to daub the staid world of the first-person shooter with luminous joy paint.
