This is a game that is almost 7 years old (as of time of writing) and still getting quality of life changes aside from DLCs.

There's a variety of weapons but some of them are similar to others with some exclusive mods but there's that.

Heists are somehow similar to others but there are some heists that has their own thing and most heists can be done in different ways which adds a lot of replay value.

All heists can be done in solo which in a way can be harder or easier, depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Public games are fun sometimes for the randomness of it or teaching someone how to play the game. Playing this with people you know has always been the best to play it in my experience.

I currently have 966.5 hrs of playtime as of writing, you can say that I really did enjoy this game. I don't play this as often as I did back then but I still play this from time to time.

I would recommend this game. It goes on sale from time to time, sometimes every couple of months so if the price is too steep for you, you can wait for a sale. While the base game is there with some freebies, I would recommend getting the PAYDAY 2: Legacy Collection as it has the complete pre-2020 content as a bundle. The game also canonically ends at this.
2020 onwards content are extra content as Developers are having financial difficulties. Extra content being made as well as free QOL updates are always welcome for me.

November 2021 update: still pretty fun
