I didn't think I'd care for his inclusion but this is easily the most I've enjoyed playing the game in a minute. Jacket is so much more expressive compared to 2 and the sociopath is easily one of the best things they've added post-launch. It's just a shame this had to come out at a time where the games future is on pure life support thanks to starbreeze higher-ups. Hopefully this can generate enough revenue and good PR for them to actually treat their flagship IP as their priority over project backshots

Glad I backed this years ago because it's basically a perfect spiritual successor to the wario land games from all fronts. It nails the GBA punk aesthetic down to a T. The soundtrack & sound design in general too is some top notch stuff. Must-buy for really any platformer fan

Only complaint is that there were a few times where an extra visual cue or two would've been appreciated amongst all the noise it throws at you as it's very easy to lose track of what to do in some levels.

I really hate the amount of people writing this off for being "too easy". There's too much charm in here to not at-least gain some satisfaction out of it

This is the game everyone was gassing up over Payday 3? I understand it had its issues at launch but at-least that game has what this game never did, a fun core gameplay loop.

Guns feel weightless and cheap, Heists (at-least within the first hour) have no stakes and are over even quicker than current PD3 heists, Story is nonexistent w/ ass voice acting and the roguelike elements seem completely shoehorned in just to differentiate itself.

Literally just wait for Boys in Blue to drop in like 9 days and Rockay City will just end up being a funny memory

Genuinely the best live service game on the market rn. There's nowhere near enough people talking about it

feed a little fishy food = big fishy

Now that the game is actually playable (for the most part, just add an offline mode ffs it's in the damn files), I can easily say this has some of the most well-crafted gameplay I've experienced in years.

All of the heists (despite only 8 at launch) are well-crafted and feel unique from one another (unlike 2's whopping 5 bank heist variations and 4 stores), leading me to already accrue 20+ hours of gameplay already playing each one only a handful of times. Loud at higher difficulties feels much more fair this time around rather than just overwhelming you with a million specials at once. Stealth actually feels like a feature now instead of an afterthought. The reworked skill trees/perks system feel much more thought-out and balanced compared to the cluster♥♥♥♥ that 2 eventually became where like 80% of it was useless. It really feels like they modernized every aspect they could for the current year and its really all I wanted from a follow-up.

The game definitely has its issues right now (No Offline, Questionable XP progression, No VOIP & Generally Lacking UI) but I feel it's all gonna be stuff that gets improved over the next few months as they've already confirmed a few QoL patches coming soon. I really hope this game makes a strong recovery despite its atrocious few launch days because it has so much potential inside of it to be the next big thing like PD2 was years ago

2015 called, they want their epic youtuber rage-bait game back
