The maps are good but the suspect AI is not. They are just straight up broken and turned to be like the beta version. It even has a gameplay breaking bug that you can't cuff or do anything with a buggy suspect anymore unless you put him to rest.

New Update still hasn't fixed the buggy AI as it's showed in the video https://youtu.be/ODlhb8Xdmps?si=vgCJyPBBf3B5GLEE

The game is fun. Lot of RNGs but the devs' behavior is not that good. The update is slow as well. (1 new map per year is.... super low but it's still an early access game anyway.) Still. It's a fun game nonetheless.

Build any types of houses however you like
With the depth then you can make your 2D house to feel like a 3D house
A relaxing game. Can kill your time a lot.
Have fun playing the game.

Now the game has decent AI. Deserve your playtime to have fun clearing out suspects and clear the objective. Though I still miss old modes and some old maps in this game.

I keep being a " the most paranoid person".
Fun to play. Easy to die.

Hiya. PAYDAY 2 Veteran here (5K playtime) and PAYDAY: The Heist (100% achievement done) PAYDAY 3 has a rough start but you should give it a try. Here is why

PAYDAY 3 may not be a true successor of PAYDAY 2 as it has quite a different gameplay style. Now it is similar to PAYDAY: The Heist in term of gameplay but the stealth gameplay is much better than PAYDAY 2 in many aspects.

The Good(s):
- On loud gameplay. You now have around 3 phases. The first phase when the heist goes loud is "Nagotiation phase" If you have a hostage. You can trade for delaying the first assault, note that in this phase. No one should shoot a gun without a silencer or go near any cops as it will kill this phase super fast. The second phase is a normal assault with a unique special in each phase. For example: Cloaker, Grenader, Zapper If you have a Dozer assault wave then enemy SWAT will turn to be a "Heavy SWAT" instead with is harder to deal with (Due to more armor). After the end of each wave, you can trade hostages for resources or for your custody teammate . This helps a lot if you don't have medic bag with you. The last phase is "Final Charge" Where the cops will keep sending mixed specials with only Heavy SWAT unit to win against you. The last one forces you to do to finish the objective asap or else you can't win the heist.
- Next is Stealth gameplay. Three new are for you which is "Public area" where you can do almost anything in casual mode so long as you don't mask up. No one will care what you do(unless it's an illegal action), "Private area" Where civilians won't care about you but the guard won't like you when you are in this area and he will try to escort you out of the area. Last area is "Secure area" where you can't let a guard or any civilians see you or the guard will try to apprehend you, in this area. You can try running into a door and the guard will get suspicious and check the noise. That way. You can sneak past them to do an objective. The pager system is much better compared to PAYDAY 2 since now you can reply pager more than the limit for one time but it will turn all the guards in the map to start the "Searching..." stage where you have to not let them see you or they will either arrest you or shoot you back. It may be more forgiving than in PAYDAY 2 but it's not easy as it sounds as there are more obstacles like a camera, a door with QR code required and a password to unlock some specific area.
- Back to a loud gameplay. You have quite some weapons to fight cops. Since the enemy always has the same HP in every difficulties. Most guns in this game are good enough to fight them back (Except... Uzi. Seriously. Just buff it. Its damage is junk) The gun kick. The recoil. Its effect. The way when you change modification and it gives slightly different feeling. It makes you feel so good with those guns. Especially the reload system. Now you will have a continuous reload while doing something else. No more weird reloading animation like in PAYDAY 2.
- Cops and Special enemies are not zombies anymore. One thing I hate about PAYDAY 2 is when enemy loves piling up at the same spot. Stacking up none-stop and no tactic at all. They just spawn and try to go near a player to kill that player but with PAYDAY 3? Nope. That zombie event won't happen. On PAYDAY 3 cops rely on heavily scripted areas as they will use a lot of covers together with a help of other special units like shield. Normal SWAT and heavy SWAT will go behind the shield or try to flank player using other paths to go.
- Special enemies are far superior than PAYDAY 2. Ex: Cloaker is sneakier and scarier since he can attack you with his kick and can do wall running just like in PAYDAY: The Heist, he can even destroy your deployable so watch out. Dozer can charge at you and can down you within 5 second even if you have full health and armor. Greneder can use flashbang, posion grenade at you. Zapper (Taser) can deploy electric shock trap to stun you. Last but not least. Shield who can stun you in close range and other normal cops unit can go behind him to use him as a cover.
- Bots. Yes yes... bots are ♥♥♥♥ since they love blocking your firing view and they keep dying but bots can give you free deployable per assault wave which is super good if you play solo or without full 4 human players.
- Skill: No more power creep perk decks, over power skills like Inspire or high damage melee hit build. Now the skills in PAYDAY 3 can support you in a good way but some skills are still quite too good to skip Ex: Ammo Funnel + Replenish. Skills that can give and refresh 3 new mandatory buffs: Edge, Grit and Rush. Now you really have to rely on yourself to win the game just like in PAYDAY: The Heist.
- The map. They are so unique. Even Though we have only 8 heists right now but the replay ability is right there. Most maps (except Road Rage) you can play both stealth or loud. The same deal as PAYDAY 2. You will have to try many many times to master each heist. Some maps you can use many methods to win the heist Ex: use crowd control to force cops to be less aggressive and special unit Grenader, he can't use his poison grenade due to having civilians around us. Or go half stealth to skip some objective then go loud later. Your choice.
- The soundtrack: While it may not be too fancy like PAYDAY 2 but they suit the heist quite well. Good song for a day, makes your problem away.

The Bad(s):
- The UI is bad in overall. You can't see your friend's ammo. No Stats. Pressing Tab won't give enough info. Waypoints and Hints in some maps take too long to show. People will get confused as they don't know what to do in each heist.
- No proper preplanning. Not even Blueprint map unlike PAYDAY 2 (wanna draw PP? In your dream suckers.) 
- The favor in each heist is given it to you randomly. You cannot pick what you want to have. Yet some favors can change the gameplay drastically. Ex: The zipline can save your time a lot for transporting loot
- Restarting the heist won't change any RNG (Yep. Enjoy this while it's last.)
- Repeatative challenges system to gain Infamy Points to get all 21 skill points. it's not engaging, too grindy and it's not fun to do. Ex: Kill 1000 enemy to get infamy points. Plus we don't have an option to make it shows in Tab nor track it unlike PAYDAY: The Heist. This needs to be fixed or to be revamped in the next update if possible.
- Exploits to level up your weapon level. Yes... it sounds beyond stupid but in this game. You have to level up both your guns and your infamy points. While the gun modification parts shouldn't be locked behind the wall. But here we are in in PAYDAY 3 (2023) where you have to use an exploit to max out your weapon level. (Note: I will never ever use exploit for leveling up my weapons. Playing normally is enough)
- Super Duper Barebone and half-baked menus. Ex: WeaponUI, Awful Matchmaking. While it's useable. It's not user friendly and it has a huge flaw in it. You can't press ready again. You can't cancel the matchmaking as it will kick you out of your party without caring if you are a host or not.

The Ugly(s):
- We PC players will keep having a delayed update because of the console platform. This will repeat as a circle. That's fo sho
- Lack of content. When you go past level.100 then there aren't many things to do left.
- Playing meta by using Armor bag is required in most heists. It's sad but this still stands true.
- People keep bringing only challenges items and it affects the gameplay. Ex: someone is farming pistol kill so that person will rarely use his primary weapon. This kills even stealth gameplay in many heists as people don't see the point to finish it in stealth

Hopefully the dev will fix many many many issues in the game and add more QoL items for improving the game and lead the game to success though only time will tell.

Rock and Stone!
We're rich!!!

Meow meow meow? Meow meow meow meow meow. Meow Meow!
(What about this game? Find it out by yourself but it's worth every penny for me. Try it!)

เมียวๆๆ? เหมียวๆๆๆๆ เหมียวๆ!
(เกมนี้่มันคืออะไรหรอ ลองเล่นดูแต่คุ้มเงินเราทุกบาท ลองดู!)

Easy program to use with lots of rich features.

(I have just seen that the remastered version will be out soon and you can't buy this game anymore, so I will put my old review here in English version. Please don't mind my play time since I've finished this game more than 3 times already in the past with my althernative steam accounts)

This is the best JRPG I have ever played. Although the storyline is very straightforward, yet the plot-twisted can make a player feel surprised at the end of the game. What make this game shined a lot are problaby 2-3 things. The side quests, The unique gameplay and maybe the satisfaction you will get from this game. Let's take a look here one by one, shall we?

1. The side quests. The side quests of this game are very remarkable. I couldn't remember the right number of all side quests but there are more than 50 side quests and you will not be bored in doing them. In fact. You will enjoy doing them. Many quests have the "next chapter" of the quest that it can be activated if you have done some specific quests first and you have chosen the right choice. Most quests are related to the heroes' requests in our party, since some of them refuses to join your party without finishing the quest first. Pro tip: don't miss any quests if you can or you will miss some great characters like Duke of Ghor. (Never go wrong with having him as the leader of the tank party with his ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ high damage output weapon with a unique weapon art skill)

2. The unique gameplay. I must say it is very great. Imagine like this: Which game that could offer you control the unique characters or heroes, ten or more, to be in your party. Every heroes have their unique appearance and have a vary unique "art"(s) and different skills, eg. Healing skill, Mystic skill, Weapon art skill depends on which weapon type they are expert to use it. (except our main protagonist Rush Sykes since he can learn every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ skills in this game) You can place your heroes into a group with max 5 people per group and with max 5 groups to deploy them into the battlefield. While in the planning phase. You can give each group an order what they should do for example: Healing another group. Attacking enemy using brute force (weapon slapping an enemy or just pure magic included the AOE magic that can hurt other group of enemies or the entire battlefield if you set the group's formation with the unlocked requirenent) Adding more moral to our side. And many more. I must say... This is the best fun part you will get from this game.

3. The satisfaction from the game.
- The story especially the ending... We need the sequel for this game for real. Square Enix. You know what to do.
- The relationship of our main character toward other characters eventhough it was just a plain dialog but personally... I like it a lot.
- The dare idea to dispose an important character when you have reached to that storyline caught me while I was off guard, yet it was one of the best cutscene I still could remember from this game.
- The great voice actors/actresses for each characters are very very pleasure me. One character has like 20+ voice lines while he/she is in the battlefield. Especially our main character Rush Sykes will call other characters' name if they get killed in the battlefield.
- The gameplay obviously. Give it a try. Play it until you have to fight some big damn dragons or that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ robot-demigod-human-shape-liked thing or that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying as hell like the "Gate of Hell" (Oh please... I really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate the "Bewitch" skill that this thing can manipulate your dead group and force them to kill other groups. Not to mention it gives me a heartbroken feeling everytime that I have to kill that manipulated group by their "friends") and you may like this game that time, or maybe hate it a lot. Your choice.

Overall. I recommend everyone to give it a try (third party websites still sell a steam key version though) or else you have to wait to buy the Remastered version with more price added indeed.

Rush - "Let's do this!"
