The state in which the game was released cannot be described as anything other than problematic. The game is very difficult to play without Discord friends, and it is rarely a pleasant and fun experience. [Issue#330]

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.

With the generous post-launch support that Payday 2 received over years, only time will tell if the same treatment can address the glaring issues with Payday 3's current progression system and evident lack of content when compared to its previous iteration. But it has established a strong foundation for the new, elaborate heists that it has drastically improved upon, inciting you to play Payday in ways you couldn't in the past. If you're more concerned with just having a good time pulling off the perfect robbery with some friends, Payday 3 features rich new challenges and satisfying stealth objectives to keep you entertained for some time. But if you need tangible rewards to keep you around after you've experienced Payday 3's limited number of heists, then its unrewarding grind might keep its limited loot behind a vault door you aren't willing to wait around to crack open.

Yeah afterplaying like 5 hours of this game, its boring, slow, and kinda glitchy. The game is essentially payday 2.5, nothing different except the setting and some weapons. I'm glad I saved this in my library for when it was free off of PS+ because wow this game is repetitive and worthless. Only redeeming this is it can be fun when it works smoothly and when the mission is super long.

jeu bon mais les principaux defauts sont le manque de contenue et le fait que les seuls ajouts aux jeux qui ajoute du contenue sont payant ce qui rend le jeu très moyen

Le jeu est fun mais il manque de contenu et on s'ennui au bout de 40h. Je conseil le jeu mais il ne faut pas s'attendre a joué au meilleur FPS.

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.

The latest entry in the heist series has the potential to become a worthy successor to Payday 2 which managed to bring together a huge community of players. We just need to wait until the developers provide more content and add some pretty basic online functionalities that are missing (e.g. voice chat), because the game’s current state leaves a lot to be desired.

Ultimately, PAYDAY 3 offers a fun combination of stealth and action/shooter gameplay in a way that no other game outside of the series does, and that certainly has merit in its own. But it still needs a lot more content if it's ever to replace its established predecessor at some point, and it needs significant redesign in the key area of progression to avoid alienating its audience.

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.

Payday 3, from a performance perspective, is an unsightly abomination, which veers unpredictably and drastically between visually-impressive beauty, and screen-tearing, game-breaking insensibility. Its small map pool, inconsistent mission design, and low-quality cutscenes consisting merely of a few PNG files accompanied only by VO and the OST, all collide to form something that can best be described an an early access game. Something that, with the benefit of several years' redemption, might one day live up to the high standards it chose to set for itself. But today is not that day.

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.

Starbreeze promised the apex of the Payday series and delivered a game that looks last-gen that's nearly impossible to play thanks to the terrible matchmaking and the awful servers. This game is a joke and should be called an alpha version.

When the game launched. It was seriously bad. Now, at the time I'm writing this, it is in a much better state but still not there to be a good successor to the legendary game PAYDAY 2. I have high hopes on Starbreeze and I think that they can fix this game and make it so much better.

Pretty alright basic gunplay yet the game's design is far worse than Payday 2. The number of guns and other gear is underwhelming, the AI are so laughably bad that they actually regressed from Payday 2. These idiotic teammates are unable to figure out that I'm getting beat down by a cloaker right in front of them and for some reason they all go downstairs right under where I'm getting beaten and all 3 just stand there doing nothing. Mission design is confusing and feel way more linear than in Payday 2. The controls are not explained well while feeling clunky. Matchmaking is "modernized" in a weird way where you can only join into random games without knowing if the players are going stealth or loud. It also takes ages to find a game. In general, the game needs an almost complete overhaul to be decent.

Nur 6 Überfälle, nerviges Level-System, langsame Server, Online Zwang und viele Bugs lassen das Spiel schlecht dastehen. Wenn sich nicht bald grundlegend etwas ändert, muss ich dieses Spiel leider als Reinfall bezeichnen
SummaryPAYDAY 3 is the sequel to one of the most popular co-op shooters ever. Since its release, PAYDAY-players have been reveling in the thrill of a perfectly planned and executed heist. That’s what makes PAYDAY a high-octane, co-op FPS experience without equal. Step out of retirement back into the life of crime in the shoes of the Payday Gang... Read More
