Payday2: Crimewatch Edition review – fun for the ‘morally flexible’

Xbox One, PS4; 505 Games, cert: 18

An anarchic injection of bonus content makes this team-based shooter a fun social experience for the, well, shall we say, morally flexible. As the masked Payday Gang, a group of violent crooks for hire, you blow chunks out of Washington DC for fun and profit. Most missions are riffs on "fend off the cops while getting away with filthy lucre". This Xbox One and PS4 port gives you more - more guns, more missions, more crooks - including DLC crossovers with Hotline Miami and John Wick, while the ability to plan raids with a team makes a huge difference.

You can dabble in different play styles, going in sneaky or guns blazing, but unfortunately some cracks haven't really been papered over - certain parts still look last-gen, connections can be finicky and the bot AI is barely there. However, when it all comes together, with a full team that works well, there are many blasts to be had (and made).
