DO NOT BUY THE GAME NOW! It's still half cooked mess...
TL:DR Wait for the game to discount atleast 50% for current version to be worth your while
________________________________________________________________
Right now, the current state of the game feels like what should've been on release. It's decent gameplay, with improvement & setback compared to prev titles. The game still feels like early access, not many content, and not many things to be loved at. Is this game better than PAYDAY 2? yes and no.

Stealth is better. Definitely. With casing vs masked mode varies different approach of heists, added minigames (lockpicking, safe breaking, etc), Tools, Distracting guards.

Gunplay is nice. Atleast better imo, mini bosses and specials feels strong compared to PD2 (dozers, cloakers, etc) but it could be also because of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ health & armor system that makes your characters fragile as hell atm. Pls fix armor regen starbreeze.

Skills is BAD. I dont like the current RUSH EDGE GRIT combo wombo.

Heists quality are BAD. They are not as replayable as Payday 2's heists. There are no PREPLANNING, small room for different approach, not as interesting in terms of story as in Payday 2's year 1 & 2 maps. The DLC maps are decent.

Current state of game is going well, but with few worrying patches here and there. Don't expect too much of Starbreeze, and keep supporting the game thru good/bad reviews, since they're openly public about gamers opinion on it right now. Im giving this game POSITIVE REVIEW because i feel like the game deserves a MIXED REVIEW on steam page now imho.

I'll only cover the major stuff on this review. Too many to lists of what's currently went right and/or wrong in Payday 3. Let me know what you think on the comments. I love this franchise, and i hope they'll fix this game more on the future.
