Looking for a game where you can plan and execute thrilling bank heists with your friends? Payday 3 is here after a decade-long wait, and today, we’re diving into everything it has to offer. Let’s get started!
Story
The story in Payday 3 takes a backseat to the gameplay. It follows the Payday gang, who return to a life of crime after losing their fortune. The narrative is delivered through brief cutscenes between missions. While not the focus, it provides a backdrop for the exciting heists.
Gameplay and Content
Payday 3 builds on the arcade-style shooting of previous games, offering improved mechanics and weapon variety. New stealth options let players complete missions quietly, providing flexibility in how you approach each heist. The game is cooperative (PVE), supporting up to four players per match.
The game launches with 8 unique missions, each set in a distinct bank or location. Missions include objectives like cracking safes, holding hostages, and negotiating with police. Future updates promise more missions and content.
Customization and Characters
Payday 3 includes six playable characters at launch, each with unique abilities. Players can customize characters’ appearances, outfits, and skills. The skill system offers 17 categories, allowing for tailored strategies during missions.
Graphics and Sound
The visuals in Payday 3 are a step up from its predecessors, with better character models, environments, and weapons. While not cutting-edge, they suit the game’s tone. The sound design is top-notch, with immersive music and solid voice acting enhancing the experience.
Final Thoughts
If you enjoyed previous Payday games or love heist movies, Payday 3 is a must-try. Available on Xbox Game Pass for PC and Xbox or for $40 on PS5, it offers great value. However, technical issues and microtransactions may detract from the experience for some players.
