Bought the game for 15$ from Alienware 2024 Charity, my money goes to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. I didn't even wanted to buy it if it wasn't for a good cause.

Game is a 4/10, no joke.

Solo mode is still in BETA after 10 months. And performance issues are still not fixed to this day.
Bots are a joke, they can be stuck in one place for no reason, they don't even stay on the objective (Road Rage heist).
They decided to change the lobby menu cause clearly that was the issue, people didnt like the old lobby menu and now surely they will buy and play the game.
What's the point to fix and change stuff if you plan to upgrade from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5? You fix now bugs that may or may not be again in Unreal Engine 5.
The sight from weapons is tied to Effects setting, the lower it is the worse your sight will be, so you're forced to put it on High. This will affect other effects in game as well, clearly the devs didn't think about it, but it is what it is, a bad game.
The Disable Chat option is not working as intended, I turn it On for the current heist, everything worked, for the next heist chat is still visible with the setting turned on. How it's not working?

Boring game, playing it feels like a punishment. Keep releasing DLCs, for sure people will buy the game.

RIP Payday.
