Payday 3 gameplay is fun with the gunplay and changes to make stealth more interesting. Though it surely has a lot of issues which ill just put in pros and cons

pros:
-Fun gun play
-stealth feels more interesting and has more forgiveness like if spotted by a guard they simply escort you out instead of raising the alarm (unless your caught in a secure zone, only happens in private areas)
-heists are alright, not the best they can be done fairly quickly
-performance is okay, you could prob run it native I just use an upscaler cause I want a lot of fps

cons-
-ugly and bad ui
-no xp from missions, you only get xp from challenges therefore forces you to plays ways you don't normally play to level up
-online only...I don't need to say much look at the launch day
-no crime net
-no server browser
-no offline
-AI teammates suck most of the time, they rarely drop me like a medkit when going loud
-cops are bullet sponges now and they get increasingly harder the long you stay in the mission (I'm not against them making going loud more intense but having them tank multiple head shots is just bruh)
-going loud with ai is most likely a death sentence they just suck that bad
-No sense of what you unlocked due to bad ui
-some stuff is bugged and won't unlock (sourced from people never getting the throwing knife)
-matchmaking takes ages
-you have to match make to play solo which is just wild
-no voice or text chat

total score: I give it at best a 6, I would boost it up to a 7 maybe 7.5 if they fix a lot of problems and add qol features like offline/solo mode, make ai teammates better, server browser, add voice chat and text chat, bring back p2p, hopefully they keep that only host needs dlc to run it for non dlc owners.

I'm marking red not in joining the review bombing but my honest feelings after playing multiple hours on the game, I would do blue if I didn't have that much cons. Hopefully they fix and make things better, rather not hear in a few months of them shutting the game down due to how bad it launched
