If you've come here expecting a full fledged review of Payday 2, you might be a tad disappointed. While we will definitely touch on the gameplay elements, it is a game many years in the making and YouTube will ultimately be the best example of what the game has to offer, thanks to the numerous game play videos. Instead, the focus here will be on how Payday 2 translates to the Nintendo Switch. With a game so reliant on voice communication, can the verbally inept Switch provide the gameplay experience required to make Payday 2 a good buy? Let's take a look.

If you've never had the opportunity to play Don't Starve, I'm almost likely to tell you to forget this pack coming in April and go grab a digital copy of the game now. That being said, the Mega Pack - which is releasing April 17th - packs a ton of content into a retail launch, including a skin for your PS4 or Xbox One controller! Check out the details below!
