As a payday fan I can not recommend this game at this stage. It is a downgrade in seemingly every aspect compared to Payday 2. There are only a few quick 1 day heists to do and the leveling system (you only gain xp by doing challenges) really ruins the carefree casual grind. Starbreeze needs to fix a LOT of things, hopefully starting with the UI and matchmaking, to get this game up to its pricetag.
