Great FPS for the Nintendo Switch
Let's start this review by saying that all people complaining the game is not up to date, that is a fact, but what did you expect, do you guys think a port is made in just 1 day, the developers know about this, they had to start from a certain point, and that was at least 6 months or more ago, but developers have stated that they will keep support for the game and release updates, will that happen, well no one knows, but taking that aside, the game is very pleasant, seeing that there are not many first person shooters on the Nintendo switch, this is a great mature fps game, you can do many different missions, level up and unlock more weapons, attachments, skills and pretty much all other consoles offer, another great aspect is that you can take the heist on the go with the portability of the Nintendo switch, you can do local play, with friends that have the game, no internet connection required, the only down side for the moment is that there is no chat support, maybe Nintendo will allow support on their app, but overall I recommend this game if you like first person shooters, and are looking for one on the Nintendo Switch

A great port to switch.
I am a huge fan of Payday 2, and I was excited to pick this game up when I heard it was on the Nintendo Switch. While this game isn't as top notch on performance like the PC version or other ports (Which is expected when you're comparing hardware capabilities) - it runs surprisingly well, and plays extremely well in docked and handheld mode. I had a friend over with this game- and he played in handheld, while I played in dock mode and we had a great time with this type of setup. I strongly recommend this title to anyone who is a Payday 2 fan, or is looking for a solid multiplayer shooter for their Nintendo Switch. If you've played this game in the past on other consoles, I'd recommend giving this game a try with a Pro Controller or similar for a more comfortable experience when playing it.

Not quite what I was looking for, but challenging.
I am more of a relaxed gamer. This somewhat provides that for me. I was led to believe this was more like a similar game, but it isn't. You don't get free roam as I was told. But you do get a challenging game that makes you think. I find the controls a little complicated and the mechanics slightly poor in execution. You also get no choice in how some "choices" work. All in all it's a nice challenge, but could have been much better.

Really good for a Switch game
Payday 2 is game where you and 3 other buddies (or strangers) can take on big scores and get rich. It has an array of heists from simple jewelry store jobs, to attacking secret government facilities. You can of course play solo with AI-controlled partners. And the reason why I'm giving this 4 star is because it's missing content from the other versions of the game. Certain heists, weapons, and characters are not to be found, and no word if these will ever be added in the future as of now. So for players who own this on other platforms be warned. But for any new comer, or big fans of GTA Online and the heists. You're sure to find a whole lot of fun in this game on the go

Fun Co Op
Fun game with friends. However, the lack of voice chat makes it hard to play with randoms online.
