DO NOT BUY Payday 3 - Very disappointed

Payday 3’s mission-specific matchmaking leaves players with bots, while random teammates may reset heists or quit; ongoing games cannot gain replacements. He dislikes stealth minigames, bullet-spongy combat, weak enemy AI, repetitive bank layouts, and limited progression beyond weapons and armor. He suggests vehicles, getaway sequences, customizable hideouts, and luxury purchases, but rates the 2023 release 6.2/10 and does not recommend it.

His review favors replayable progression but ultimately sees repetition and shallow systems outweighing Payday 3’s improvements.
