Payday 3 | Full Game Walkthrough | No Commentary
Today we have one of the most anticipated games of 2023 in the form of Payday 3. Payday 2 was a huge hit and has been supported by the developers for many years after its initial release. The original setting of playing as heisters with the freedom to approach various missions in stealth or loud made it an instant classic.
Therefore expectations were high and unfortunately the result is a very mixed bag as the improvements get overshadowed by some decisions that ruin the experience.
First, lets talk about the good stuff. The enviroments feel way more alive and the atmosphere is great. The stealth has been improved greatly as you do not automatically fail when you are spotted and new interactions like the lockpicking are fun minigames. The action feels nice and frantic and overall the gameplay is still solid.
But the game lacks in presentation when it comes to telling its story with just plain stills and the AI of the enemies is sometimes really bad when it comes to being stealthy. However, the worst thing about this game is that you have to be always online. We have seen this in other games as well, but I have never had it to the point where I could not play the game even when I wanted to play a private match by myself. But the servers are so unstable at the moment that we had a ton of difficulty getting into a match or even starting a game in the first place.
This could be fixed in the future and I might return to this game again to archive it once more when more content gets added, but for now I am unfortunately quite disappointed with this game. This is definitely not the year of Payday....maybe next year?
