About PAYDAY 3

About this game

Step out of retirement back into the life of crime in the shoes of the Payday Gang, the envy of their peers and the nightmare of law-enforcement wherever they go. Several years after the crew’s reign of terror over Washington DC has ended, they assemble once again to deal with the threat that roused them out of early retirement.

The legendary Payday Crew, dreaded by the law and underworld alike, is back. Ripped from their peaceful retirement to rejoin the criminal world by a new threat, one born from the chaos the Crew left in their wake.

In order to identify and crush this new threat, the Crew is leaving their Washington DC roots behind them and moving to New York City. A new location will bring with it new challenges, but also new opportunities for a heister with a plan.

Give outlet to your greed and let loose in PAYDAY 3. In addition to gold, cash and jewelry and any other valuables they might come across, you’ll be able to build a sizable collection of weapons, cosmetics and accolades.

It won’t be as simple as showing up and gaining goodies. You’ll have to work hard and plan smart to get away with as much loot as possible. Gain experience, unlock new skills and gain proficiency in weapons to steadily grow your power to handle the tougher challenges.

A professional heister knows it takes planning, hard work and a good amount of luck in order to execute a successful heist. In PAYDAY 3 the choice is put in the hands of the players, deciding how to tackle the heist, whether you sneak or go in guns blazing, whether you let your hostages go or keep them around as pawns, whether you go at it alone or bring friends. The choices are endless and in your hands, they will vastly change how the game plays.

Not just anyone is worthy of standing at your side for something as important as a heist. Likewise, PAYDAY 3 is best enjoyed with close friends in mind, whether you bring them from your childhood or make them along the road.

The PAYDAY-series has always valued the bonds made through hardship and tries to reflect that in the actions and words of our heisters while in the game, and through our community while on the outside.

The game had a very rough launch(ongoing), but I managed to play all the heists it has to offer. As of now, my conclusion is that the game is fun and innovative compared to its predecessor. However, it lacks some essential features like lobbies, chat, offline play and etc, which are significant drawbacks. On the bright side, when the servers and matchmaking are working properly, the game runs smoothly, and the graphics are amazing. To be honest, I would recommend waiting a bit longer before suggesting it to anyone, as the current situation leaves a sour aftertaste. I would also re-do the review if anything changes.

Hard to defend the game, It's not worth buying unless on a deep sale YEARS from now

On one hand the combat is fun and is a clear evolution of payday 2's gunplay and stealth mechanics. On the other hand we have constant server issues , crashes , a life-less interface in comparison to payday 2 , less game changing skills limiting the build variety , no safe-house , no melee weapons , downgraded pre-planning , no offline play , no customization for our AI teammates, horrible progression/unlock system and finally pre-order bonuses not exclusive to actual pre-orders and sold months after the release of the game. The few heists that are in the game were and still are fun but there's far less variety so it becomes stale quickly, thankfully cook-off got added back recently and more heists are coming but as of now it's a very empty game, one with good bones but empty. I was really looking forward to this game after the goodwill earned with 2 so I pre-ordered the game despite swearing I'd never pre-order an multiplayer game and I should've really listened to my past self, this game is a mess.

Fun game thats missing way to many features. Wait for a steep sale or a year or so to go by.

Hurts my soul to say it but this game. Just isn't that great right now. Recently its been found that things like Crime.net (basically server browser) are literally in the game files but just not available and only online is literally killing this game. You can tell that the marketing and publisher teams got to tell developers how they should do their job. When you can actually play the game it IS fun.

Fun gameplay, Great design, Improved mechanics of PD2, Horrible matchmaking

Payday 3 is a great successor to Payday 2. Shooting is fun, heists are fun and their design is also beautiful. Every main aspect of Payday 2 like shooting, customization of guns, stealth or loud approach to heists, gadgets, hostages, etc., has improved. The graphics are nothing special compared to the predecessor but in my opinion, nothing to be ashamed of (but I personally do not play this game for graphics). But there is one huge issue currently with the game which at the time of writing has landed the game a 33% positive reviews on Steam. It is the matchmaking system. At the time of writing this review, I have played for 10 hours. But at least 3 of those 10 hours is me and my friends either trying to get the game going (it would not let us into the game) or were stuck in matchmaking and I kid you not for 60 minutes straight even though we had full party of 4 people. the negative reviews and even positive ones are complaining about this. Some days it just is not playeable. Unlike in payday 2 youi cannot play offline so it does not matter if you are alone or in a party you will wait as everybody else (/if you have the luck of logging into the game). Thus, even though the game is fun and amazing with a group of friends it has a big problem with its matchmaking system. That said that is the only negative thing I can say about this game. Maybe the soundrtack at least for me is a bit weaker compared with Payday 2 but I am sure that will change when new content will pour in. I am recommending this game but wait for some time till they fix the martchmaking issues and even though they are horrible i am still giving this game a 4 out of 5 since this is something that can be fixed and withouth it the game will be amazing.
