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

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.

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.

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

This my first time playing Payday 2 and I like it. I know it is not perfect but it's a decent game. A lot of stuff to unlock and missions. Bad thing there is no voice chat... yet. But regardless I'm having fun

This game is played best with friends although you can have computer counter points to help with your heists. But beware that it’s best played online which is somewhat difficult considering Nintendo‘s voice chat capabilities. Nevertheless fun adrenaline rush if you can play it in the right circumstances. Enjoy!

My friends and I have been having a lot of fun with this game, really the only problem is there is no way to communicate to your team mates which is critical in a game like this. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys first person shooters and has a few friends with a switch and the ability to communicate via phone or text.

The game is fun but the Switxhes lackluster online can make the games frustrating. Without communication it’s near impossible to all be on the same page. For the most part t works ok, but when it doesn’t it’s extremely frustrating. Overall though it’s a fun game.

this game has been great thus far. it's first person so I tend to only be able to play a couple of games in but love the idea of playing as a criminal. I love building my character to suit my play style but man everything is so expensive and making money is rather a chore to conquer.

It is still a fun and intense cooperative shooting game, although its mechanics and technical finish show the passing of the years.

Not quite the right FPS experience

I played this knowing it an older game and a port of 360/ps3 game but I just wanted a fun online shooter game
Unfortunately this did not deliver
Controls were too clunky and laggy
The flow of the game was just not kept up with most modern shooters
You can still play online or offline but going online takes for ever so you might as well play offline.
All in all I was disappointed with the game and just traded it in

I purchased this game because I wanted something more ‘intense’ for my Nintendo Switch. I’m not very good at shooting games so I tend to stray away from them but now and then I like to have the option. I decided to pick up this game because it was reasonably priced and it seemed like a fun concept. I haven’t played it much but I’ve enjoyed everything so far! If you’re looking for something that’s a bit more rated R - I suggest this game.
