PAYDAY 2 Torrent is an action game developed and published by Starbreeze. Payday 2 isn’t a covert game, but it masquerades as one, given that the majority of heists commence with you surveying the premises. There’s something compelling about these instances: the game completely sells the heist illusion as you and your comrades calmly assess the guards and security systems of the targeted establishment – a snare set to trigger. However, the developers fail to deliver on this anticipation. The moment you don your masks and initiate the elimination of security personnel, someone fumbles, or something goes dramatically awry.
Frequently, it’s your responsibility: a team member entering the field of vision of a security camera, firearm drawn. At times, it’s due to vague regulations, even if you are still technically accountable, as was the circumstance with my silenced gunshot being detected through the ceiling. Then there are situations where you have nothing to censure but the game: an invulnerable civilian on the opposite side of the imperceptible barriers that enclose the arena, alerting the authorities.
When my team and I eventually executed a polished, flawless heist, we accomplished it through a zero-tolerance approach towards these unpredictable innocent onlookers: we eliminated anyone on the periphery who couldn’t be restrained.
PAYDAY 2 Torrent Magnet encourages failure because it’s not genuinely a heist game but a siege shooter with a heist theme. Some of the finest levels comprehend this and provide alternative activities beyond silent infiltration. Storming a methamphetamine laboratory, repelling an advancing SWAT team, and then engaging in the production of your own batch of meth is a respectable illustration of the daring scenarios the game can concoct, ahem, when not confined by missions involving bungled covert entries followed by your team safeguarding a drill penetrating its way into a money vault.
The meth lab mission mandates at least one team member to meticulously add ingredients to the concoction at the appropriate time, while everyone else combats heavily armored SWAT enforcers in the kitchen below.
PAYDAY 2 Torrent derives substantial benefit from its siege format as well. The environments you’re safeguarding boast multiple exits, levels, and entrances, and there’s something about standing in your assigned entryway, relying on your comrades to handle their part of the skirmish, that lends a sense of sophistication and strategy to encounters with the progressively formidable waves of law enforcement, perhaps more than they genuinely are.
Customizing your weapons for the given task can also be satisfying, but the route to contentment isn’t as consistent. You unlock weapons progressively, but accessories like optics, silencers, stocks, barrel extensions, and the like are only dispensed through an end-of-round lottery event. You might acquire a commendable new firearm attachment, or you might instead receive a modest cash incentive or materials to forge a new mask. Mask crafting is an entertaining, albeit costly, diversion, but this arbitrary reward system can be vexing for players seeking to enhance their arsenal.
Even a basic silencer can be challenging to obtain, intensifying the improbability of successful covert missions. Some of these imbalances have been rectified in updates, while others endure. The PC and PS3 versions appear to receive more frequent updates, with the Xbox 360 yet to undergo similar attention.
