PAYDAY 3

14/01/2024

PAYDAY 3 is the much anticipated sequel to one of the most popular co-op shooters ever. Since its release, PAYDAY-players have been revelling 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, 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.

Developer: Starbreeze

Publisher: Deep Silver                                  RELEASE DATE: 09/21/23

What do you think of Payday 3? 

The gameplay was captured using the INSANE Super Ultra-Wide monitor AOC Agon AG493UCX2."

My review of Payday 3 comes after observing its "Mostly Negative" reception on Steam. I tested the Payday 3 Beta earlier in 2023. So I feel I waited long enough. Despite the negative reviews, I had to experience it for myself.

The question at hand: was the delay in engaging with the game justified, and have the initial issues been addressed? While I haven't delved into the specifics of the reviews, my personal experience did reveal some technical difficulties. The game suffered from lag, stuttering, extended matchmaking times, and occasional freezing during loading screens post-mission. These issues certainly detracted from the overall enjoyment.

Many players prefer Payday 2, and while Payday 3 offers exciting missions ranging from cooking meth in a basement lab to bank robberies and stealth operations, it doesn't entirely compensate for its technical flaws. I'd suggest waiting a few months before trying it again, with the hope that updates will enhance the game. Ideally, sequels should improve upon their predecessors, so there's potential for Payday 3 to evolve. I'll provide an update if there's new content and improvements.

Have a blast!
