The gameplay is amazing such an improvement over PDtH and PD2 (especially with stealth to loud transition)... but the servers and matchmaking is a joke. Also where PD2 fostered community with randoms, in this game when a mission ends the prompt sends you back to the home screen, so no going into the next mission with the crew you've made.

The lobby menus and prompts (such as "Hold G to put on mask" or "Hold E to interact") is UI straight out of a mobile game. Bring back the "ASSAULT INCOMING" in yellow at the top the screen and a proper inventory system that. I know it seems minor but small changes to the UI and menus will make the game feel so much more polished, cause rn it's super clunky.

For the positives, gameplay and Gustavo's music absolutely lives up to the hype and the 8 missions are all great and unique. Once Starbreeze adjusts the menus and lobby system to foster community and gives a facelift to the UI, then the game and the players will be ready for the next DLC content but these issues need to be addressed.

*oh I forgot to mention but in line with fostering community there is no chat in the post game lobbies, that needs to be added for a proper and engaging community
