PROS:
- Gameplay is pretty fun
- Graphics are great
- Runs decently well (on my powerful computer, but I've seen worse)
- Feels like a proper expansion upon the Payday series

CONS:
- You can ONLY play online. If you are not connected to the internet, you CANNOT play the game.
- You have to queue to play singleplayer. I've personally sat in queue for 5+ minutes before being able to play solo.
- AI still has problems with pathing
- Lack of content. I know the game just came out, but they should have a few more heists to start.
- Menuing feels like it was designed solely for controller. I've found several menus that don't go back properly on pressing esc
- Low graphics doesn't feel low enough. My friends with lower-end computers likely won't even be able to touch this game
- They don't seem to want players to mod the game. Publishers need to realize that mod support will keep your game alive. I'd rather run into a hacker and leave or kick them, over being physically unable to tailor my game experience. If someone wants to give themselves max level and all unlocks, go ahead. It's a purely PvE game, it only affects me if I choose to play with them.

For as long as they keep the terrible server handling, my review will stay negative.

This game has a LOT of potential. The core gameplay loop is there and feels great. It feels like the developers are being crushed into submission by the publishers. I'm hoping for this to change.
