Want to lock down a location? It’ll be turrets, body bags and zip-ties for hostages you want more of. Want to be a sneaky git? Emphasise your hacking skills and reduce how fast guards will be alerted to your presence. Want to be a team player? Specialise so that your health or ammo bags are more effective and more numerous. Each level awards you points to spend in one of the five ability trees, and this is where you can really customise your character for one particular style of play or another. The first few heists you pull push your level up at a ridiculous rate and unlocking reams and reams of weapons and gear for you. Levelling up and advancing your character is very fast. On the other hand, they’re much more diligent at coming to revive you than some of the people you’ll find online. When you’ve got a dozen bags of loot to shift over to your getaway van, it’s a shame you couldn’t order them to help out even a little bit. Playing solo or with less than four players is hampered by the dumb friendly AI, who will do nothing but follow you around and shoot. Swarms of cops spawn out of thin air sometimes, even appearing in a corner of the room you weren’t currently looking at, and they’re almost dumber than the zombies in Payday’s loose contemporary Left 4 Dead, all too happy to stand in a corner and stare at a wall for a bit. You can also constantly see the seams to the game design.
You run back and forth collecting parts while he stands out in the open next to the bike, and then the act of riding the bike features some downright awful vehicle handling that’s so clumsy it’s funny. A prime example of this had us defending a mechanic from both a biker gang and cops so that he can repair a bike and we make a short getaway. There’s a great feel to some of the 50-odd heists in the game, whether it’s a straight up bank job or something more inventive like raiding a derailed train while the cops swarm your location, but then there are others that feel like Overkill weren’t even trying.
Payday 3 review ps3#
Resolution aside, it’s actually a touch behind the PS3 version in some ways, but then you have a much more up to date game in terms of content.
Payday 3 review 720p#
Targeting 1080p on TV and 720p when handheld with a solid 30fps, the graphics have been dropped far enough that it feels like you’re playing the last generation version at times. The game’s graphics can scale down to where Overkill feel it runs best on the system, and it was never really a technical showcase to begin with, but this has led to a strong port that runs well in both handheld and docked mode. With its roots in the last generation in mind, it’s no surprise that the Switch is able to take the game in its stride. Payday 2 is probably somewhere between old and ancient, having first released in the summer of 2013 for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, getting the Crimewave Edition release for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2015, and then being announced for Switch a couple months after the hybrid console’s release. Developers have flooded the system with their wares, both new, old and ancient. If there’s one thing the last year has taught us, it’s that anything and everything is fair game for getting a fresh release on Nintendo Switch.
