An interesting TRPG about wizards in tactical gear. It is well optimized and doesn't have bugs (didn't encounter any), also nice to mention light and easy to understand humor in dialogs between characters.
Game gives you couple of few mechanics with windows and interactable object on arena.
The side missions with character didn't catch my attention, but main story isn't boring at all (also have part with red stripes and photo cards, like some sort of detective movie).
Overall, I can recommend this to a person who likes tacticool things and relaxed gameplay.

"There is no happy endings in Night City... Never was"

To begin with - I played a lot in PAYDAY2 and almost 100% it. So PAYDAY3 was something for me, that I waited and hoped for. I pre-ordered gold edition in beginning of August.

I'll try to skip the part of terrible servers management, which ruined experience for a lot of people, and jump straight into gameplay, progression and coop.

Gameplay It become much slower than 2nd part of series, especially stealth. Yes, you can play pretty fast, but not that fast as in PAYDAY2. Gunplay was good so far, I like it. Same goes to weapon customization.

Progression It's terrible, the progression is fixed to challenges which force you to do stick to them really hard, otherwise - enjoy 40 XP after a heist. Also there is no worth reward after a 77 infamy, just some masks, gloves and outfits.

Coop part The game forces you to play with other players, but the problem is that almost all people stay on 1 heist and grind it 24/7. It's impossible to find full lobbies on Very Hard or Overkill. You can't communicate with people in preplaning, you can't recognize if people doing stealth or loud. It's very sad.

In summary of all this the game is quite boring at this moment. In my opinion, if you want to receive fun - better to play PD2.
