PAYDAY 3 Reviews

would be great if the bots didn't get stuck in a basic doorway, do no objectives, and are basically a useless piece of bullet sponge that ruin a 30 minute heist just because i don't want to play online.

I love Payday2. I waited years for PD3, and even longer for it be updated to Payday2 content level. It wasn't worth it. The some changes are good, but I wouldnt recommend if you want more Payday2.

Not a good game for solo players. Need 3rd party account to play solo Ai teammates don't throw their bags into the van to get more Cops are either brainless or unkillable 1/3 maps and a lot of equipment are dlc L

Dont really see what all the hate is about maybe it was worse before I bought it but rn its pretty fun

Some heists are enjoyable. youll get a good couple hours out before you get bored. theres very little depth especially compared to payday 2. so many features were removed, although a few aspects were polished. stealth is somewhat fun. loud is incredibly boring. its sad. if payday 2 was built on a new engine better graphics etc it would be a direct upgrade to payday 3. this isnt payday 3, its payday 1.5

not bad, its no payday 2 but it is a solid game recovering from a horrible launch

As someone who has a thousand or 2 hours on Xbox 360 Payday 2, I instantly preordered the Gold Edition Payday 3 on day one for $89.99. Unfortunately, after roughly 20hrs, I found myself extremely disappointed and stopped playing the game for just about 3 years. Fast forward to today, and after returning to the game and logging over 120+hrs, I can confidently say that Payday 3 is a completely different experience than launch. The improvements have been substantial, and in my opinion, the game is absolutely worth tryin ESPECIALLY if its on sale. The Leadership AND Dev team have gone through tons of changes, with the new leadership bringing an actual direction to the future of the game. If the developers continue delivering updates with the same level of consistency and commitment they have shown recently, I genuinely believe Payday 3 has the potential to achieve a "2.0" style comeback and establish itself as a worthy successor to Payday 2.

Idk what kinda tragic event was the launch but right now the game is fun albeit short on heists, was totally worth getting base game and all dlcs on sale. Bonus points for weapon animations, clean as hell

When implementing Payday 3, the devs must've looked back at Payday 2 and thought "less is more", and they really ran with that because Payday 3 despite being a sequel is so much lesser than Payday 2. Payday 3 builds on Payday 2 by taking away basically everything. There are 22 achievements, contrasted to the 1300+ of Payday 2. There is no infamy level, so once you've hit level cap that's that. There is nothing really to unlock because the game just hands everything to you. We're three years in and there aren't that many heists, the ones that are there look nice, but once you've done them in loud and stealth, it's tough to see the incentive to continue playing it because there's no variety. The heisters in PD3 have a lot fewer voice lines. There is no variety in the opponents you face; you'll see the same uniforms across all the heists. Even the objectives and layouts aren't really randomised. Payday 2 has a lot of unserious and comedic elements to it. It's rough around the edges, but has a certain charm to it. It felt like the developers had fun making the game. Payday 3 feels more like a paint-by-numbers copy, less a labour of love and more just labour. At the time of writing this, I've about the same amount of time played in both games. I feel like I've finished Payday 3, while I've barely scratched the surface of Payday 2. The game looks good. It sounds okay. It plays alright. It's just not a very good follow-up to Payday 2.

Need more free heists. Barely seen a game where you have to pay for the game and the missions inside of it as well, it's like buying a demo. Glad I got it on sale, if not I wouldn't recommend this to anybody. It's fun on multiplayer, but that's about all there is to it, and enjoy the demo missions they gave you.
