PAYDAY 3 Reviews
Payday 3 does what every sequel aims to do: it improves on its predecessor in every respect. We have a qualitative leap on a technical level, an improvement of the basic gameplay, more layered and exciting missions. Right from the start it is clear why the player should abandon Payday 2 to move on to this third episode. On the other hand, however, at launch we are experiencing numerous bugs and glitches, which while not deeply affecting the experience give the idea of a title that would have benefited from a few more months of development and which lacks a good dose of refinements.

This is a good sequel for fans of Payday and makes improvements without changing the formula too much. Unfortunately, some of the shortcomings that can be also found in previous games can still be seen here.
Co-op action with thieves continues, and while the foundation is good, the game needs time for the authors to expand it sufficiently. Above all, it has only few maps, especially when compared to the previous game.

Poorly executed, lacking creativity, with restricted progression and fun grounded only by co-op, PAYDAY 3 is a difficult recommendation even for fans of the franchise.

Payday 3 is more of a work in progress rather than a final product as it suffers from tons of technical issues and lack of content. But it offers fantastic core gameplay mechanisms, and just perfect gunplay also builds a solid foundation that can be supported and improved by consistent updates.

PAYDAY 3 has lots of potential but it's defective AI and server problems really make enjoying this game difficult. Also, PAYDAY 3 is badly affected with bugs and technical issues but still if you can play the game with your friends, level design and fun mechanics can lead to an enjoyable experience.

Payday 3 introduces a few changes to its decade-old arcade heist formula, and yet still feels very much like a product of a bygone era. Returning fans will find many missing features and lack of content to grumble about, while newcomers were turned away with unplayable servers during launch week, and it's hard to tell if either group will be back.
PAYDAY 3 has seen ample improvements compared to its predecessors. from smoother gunplay to more heist options. that being said, online issues, lack of content and some technical problems related to AI could somewhat damage your overall experience. nonetheless, PAYDAY 3 is definitely entertaining and enjoyable.

Payday 3 represents the typical game in the making. Its future, and success, surely depends on the goals and improvements that Starbreezee will implement. The game offers fun gameplay, virtually endless replayability, and an outstanding soundtrack, however, at launch, the content is extremely limited and meager.

Payday 3 is a solid co-op shooter, but it hasn't started on the right foot and it didn't grab the players of the previous entry in the series. This might, unfortunately, prove fatal.

Despite its tragic departure, Payday 3 proves to be a worthy sequel that adds enough to be a good foundation for what's to come.

Payday 3 offers a refined gameplay experience, but the lack of a decent progression system and QoL features holds it back from greatness.
Overall, I’d give Payday 3 a tentative 7/10 for now. It is a fun romp with friends, both in stealth and loud variations. The maps can be both simple and complex depending on choice, with some quick clears and more in-depth burglaries. There are not a ton of unique features to be had, but this is a long haul, more is to come.
PAYDAY 3 isn’t the seismic improvement over PAYDAY 2 many might have been hoping for, but it is a refinement of the formula with a few fun new additions. Though the number of heists is currently at a modest number, they have a decent amount of replayability whether you use meticulous stealth or go in guns blazing. Despite a very troubled opening week, there are firm foundations for lots more heisting content to come here. Chains, Dallas, Wolf and Hoxton have come out of their latest heist with some scars to show for it, but with a few bags full of cash nonetheless.
Yes, the Payday magic is still here… sort of.
Payday 3 is a competent addition to the heist genre, offering intense firefights and complex missions. However, its shift in tone and overemphasis on stealth may not appeal to all fans of the series. It’s a game that shows promise and could very well evolve into something greater with future updates…but for now, it’s probably best to wait and see.
Payday 3 still needs work to reach his maximum potential

Payday 3 obviously uses the same concept as its predecessors. The game has had the necessary update to look sleek again. There isn't a lot of content yet, but the missions available are very entertaining.

Payday 3 is fun and engaging when it works, but more often than not, it doesn’t. The servers that are constantly down, the overall lack of content, the cut features from Payday 2, and the lazily put-together cutscenes all prevent this from being a title worth experiencing, even for the diehard fans. I have no doubt that Starbreeze will polish this title in time, but for now, it’s an easy skip.
