What players are saying
Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 185 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Mixed (1,818 of 2,814 positive).
Many compare it favorably to Payday games, especially Payday 3. [1][2][3] Some reviewers note the game still has bugs and performance issues. [4][5]

This game is rushed slop. this game in 2026 is a waste of $15 CAD. Game is super unoptimized, fps stutters 247, no matter the settings or tweaks you do. Stealth is sub par, imgaine grinding until level 22 to unlock a supressed pistol and if somebody is within 5-10 feet of you, you get detected if you fire it. Not only is it the only supressed weapon but it's close to useless unless used as a sniper from range but if …

It's genuinely incredible what 3 dudes in a shed with a couple of years can do for the reputation and stability of a super stinker on launch. Take this from someone with 1000+ hours on Payday 2, this game is absolutely worth at least 200 hours of your time, and for this reason, even though I know it won't win, I'm nominating this textbook definition of a Labor of Love for the Steam awards 2025. You legends deserve …

When this game released, it was just another PAYDAY clone. Today, with all the unexpected new updates, this is a great game to play with friends. It is not like current day PAYDAY 2, this game has kept the charm of the old times, resembling a lot more to what PAYDAY: The Heist was.

RAID: World War II reminds me why I even like cooperative games like PAYDAY: The Heist in the first place. Let me ask you two questions first. For your favorite live service game, which update would you say it's the best one? Would you want your favorite live service game to permanently end on said update? Both RAID: World War II and PAYDAY: The Heist have something in common that none of their successors have ever …

Raid had a rough start, it used to be really bad. Now though? Game's really worth checking out, it's fun and engaging, shooting feels great, especially when you shoot a Jerry

It feels like gold takes forever to get, along with weapon upgrades. Wasn't good when I played it at release, isn't good now.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →$10 is a more-than-fair price for this co-op heisting experience. Weapons feel distinct enough, raids all feel unique without feeling too repetitive, but I'd be wrong to avoid bringing up the various community changes that have been added over time. I remember playing during the beta in 2017, feeling somewhat optimistic, yet ultimately let-down by that brief experience. With the community bug fixes and revamped skill tree/enemy AI/new raids, this game absolutely feels worth the cost of…
