CONS

-police waves are endless, breather is almost impossible
-heists are hard even on normal difficulty
-some maps can't be played on easy or normal
-only 4 characters/masks to choose from
-no tutorial
-no visual cues on some things happening during missions
-ammo runs out quick due to enemies spawning non stop
-you get shell shocked after 1 normal/hard game
-few maps
-bland visuals on some maps



FINAL VERDICT
  
     Overall, Payday may not be perfect and the broken enemy spawning makes it tiring to play after a while, but the fun moments while planning with your friends and helping a convict escape by making him ride a chair tied to a parachute is very satisfying and you can't help but play for more. If the broken ala AI director of the game gets fixed this game would be the crime version of Left 4 dead 2. I recommend this if you like coop games and twitchy shooters.
