Payday 3 - Day One Edition (PS5)

Payday 3 Review ( PS5 ) – Payday 3 is, for better or for worse a game where you always have to be connected to the internet to play, at least for now. In 2023 that’s not as unusual as it was a decade ago, but Payday 3’s launch has been a shining example of why that’s still a bit of a problem. When I first began playing, across my first three days with the game I was only able to join two matches due to how awful the server issues were. Now, at the time of writing things have been fixed , and I don’t have an issue getting into public or private servers, everything just works as you’d expect it to, and I’m having a great time when it does. All this to say that Payday 3 is a very good game, unsurprising from Starbreeze due to the fact that the team has been iterating on a formula it made popular for years, but it’s not a great game, at least not yet.
