Certainly, the harder difficulty heists will prove nigh on impossible if you rely on the friendly AI to help out, but it does go a long way to pushing gamers to play Payday 2: Crimewave Edition in the way the development team must have always intended encouraging a culture of co-operation, communication, and teamwork. This creates a great deal of frustration, but if we want to be cynical about that aspect of the game then it could be seen as deliberate.

To be quite frank though, it is best not to waste your time with the Offline mode as the friendly AI do a good job of making Dumb and Dumber look Mensa-style clever. Heists aren’t the only thing that there is plenty of though, as the game includes new playable characters and other unlockables, including masks, weapon attachments, and gadgets.Īlthough Payday 2: Crimewave Edition is touted as a four-player co-op title, there is the option to play the game as a single player with two friendly AI compatriots for company, in the Offline mode. All of those heist types come included in the game courtesy of Payday 2: Crimewave Edition benefiting from several contracts from the previous games making an appearance as a plethora of DLC content to keep even the most seasoned criminals busy. There is a nice variety of heist types available, from straightforward bank heists to drug trafficking, and the more elaborate and often stealth-laden attempts at election rigging.

The premise of each heist is pretty simple, and as any decent gang of thieves would expect: Case the joint first to decide on the best plan of both attack and subsequent escape, slip on your uber-customisable mask, get the job done by any means necessary, and get out pronto with all the bags of loot or personnel you can handle.
