“While there are other 4-person co-op games, and ones with heisting and robbery themes, no other series combines the two in the way Payday does. In Payday 3, the gang—Dallas, Hoxton, Wolf, and Chains—didn’t retire quite as clean as they thought they did and, five years later, are forced back into a life of crime in New York City. An evolution of the series, Payday 3 has a living, breathing world, with the streets of the city coming to life with pedestrians walking and cars driving. Civilians are also more of a resource; you can use them as human shields, or can use hostages when negotiating with first responders. Payday 3 also features 100 new skills, ensuring that you and your crew have the right ones for the job, as well as an updated arsenal of weapons players can customize with modifications or paint jobs.”
