A tactical shooter aiming for pre-Vegas Rainbow Six: lethal, slow, no regenerating health. That intent is clear and the appeal is real for the audience it targets. The execution is not — it released visibly unfinished, with broken AI, minimal mission variety and no save system, and it was widely criticised on those grounds.

On reception: its Steam reviews are mixed, against very positive for Sanctum 2.

The gang is back, and they have bigger and better plans. Objective based cooperative FPS became more complicated. The classic group of Hoxton, Dallas, Chains and Wolf got reinforcement, and now Payday Gang consists of 21 heisters, some of which are based on movie characters or even Youtubers.

The peak of the cover-based Rainbow Six era: squad orders are quick to issue, the rappel-through-window breach is still satisfying, and Terrorist Hunt is the mode that kept it alive for years. The story is throwaway and reuses locations from the first game, and the tactical depth is far shallower than the pre-Vegas entries.
