Payday 2 Switch

The shooting also feels deeply unsatisfying. Guns lack a significant punch, and the puny little red crosshair that appears whenever you hit an enemy doesn’t exactly add much impact, either. What’s worse is that the reticule looks the same when you both hit and kill officers, meaning you don’t know whether or not you’ve downed them for good unless you lower the gun –particularly worse when playing portable thanks to the smaller screen – and doing so can be costly in trickier heists.
