If it doesn't reinvent the wheel, Payday 3 modernizes its four-player heist formula with accuracy and intelligence, and that's all we ask of it. The eight missions available to date are well done - and make excellent use of the few new mechanics. All in all, the life of a “controller in hand” thug is still just as demanding. Even if we can criticize a slight lack of content, especially for the arsenal, this third part already sticks to the skin with a system of skills, difficulty modes which always make you want to start again and achieve the ideal run. A superb foundation for the future.
As any larcenist knows, all the best robberies begin discreetly before snowballing into a wild frenzy soundtracked to upbeat electronic music. Payday 3 does this with brimming style, before running away with the money.

The biggest strength of PayDay 3 is the equal treatment of stealth and open combat. Regardless of playstyle, this heist simulator provides a lot of fun, especially with friends - even if there's no shortage of rough edges that spoil the overall experience. The truth is, that - not counting previous installments - there's no other game like it on the market, and PayDay 3 is simply more thoughtful and better designed in terms of gameplay than predecessors.
While PAYDAY 3 will no doubt please series veterans and newcomers, it's still a few updates a way from being definitively better than PAYDAY 2. When everything is working seamlessly, it offers some of the highest highs in the series thus far, but frustrating omissions and questionable progression design restrain PAYDAY 3's ability to be consistent.
Time will tell if Starbreeze can build upon the baseline it has built. As it stands, PAYDAY 3 is worth dipping your toes into for the curious, but almost certainly worth waiting a while longer to see if it reaches its full potential.
PAYDAY 3 offers a cooperative gameplay experience with an array of heists and a progression system that has its merits. However, it’s not without its share of issues. AI inconsistencies, unremarkable objectives, and underwhelming audio-visual elements tarnish the experience. While it’s an imperfect addition to the series, it still offers a taste of the criminal underworld. Like any complex caper, it has its moments of brilliance, but also a few unexpected hiccups along the way.
Payday 3 at launch is a usable starting point, while we wait for Starbreeze to bring in more content in the months and years to come.
Despite the launch issues, I really enjoy the game. Many big games have server issues, and it was unfortunate but the game itself is really fun

I get it - Release is a mess. But considering we’re going to be playing the game for 5+ years (like we played PD2 for 10 years) Im not overly concerned about the server situation. I really like the game so fare and the fundamentals are there, I also know they’ll deliver the game I will love in time. Just off to a rough start, will be back to the heisting we love soon.

The gameplay loop is, load game, select heist and get a matchmaking error. They knew these servers were busted but released the game anyway. And the always online requirement is a joke. So people who payed for the game will loose access to it in the future. Why in solo modes do I need to be connect to a server? And your servers don't even work.
