Never forget your place again, stupid machine

Ran through the entire game, good time overall.
Much bigger fan of the puzzle boxes over the island, lot of complex geometry/ collision snags and invisible walls that makes it annoying to travel around, but it's nice to bomb it across the giant distances with the boost when the opportunities present themselves

Would've liked more puzzle boxes, some fun ideas with them and the physics.

Already got all these from beating the game on hard, but given the fact I was even driven to doing that, yeah you've earnt the cash.

I love Helltaker already, and this hits so many style points I love the artist for,
and then there's a good challenging game under it all too, ♥♥♥♥ I wish there were more levels, will have to hit it in hard mode.

Honestly it's narrative setups and structure is more than on par with many other Mafia games.
but the overall game structure really holds a lot of that hostage at times

Great game, exceptional DLCs.
But tbh, beeline the DLC and main story content, don't bother with side content.

If buying separately, my recommended order
Heist > Weapons > Tailor

Heist is a good bit of fun, if you're longer running in payday 3, it offers a better challenge, although largely derived from insane enemy spawn numbers, and generally difficult cover. but if you get past the first half it's generally smooth sailing.

Weapon pack offers some cool looking items, but nothing particularly standout, spas belongs to a generally ineffective weapon category in pump shotguns, and the deagle and browning pistol both have similar items in other slots.
If you don't have boys in blue weapon pack, then the deagle is a good alternative, but boys in blue weapons are generally more useful.

Tailor pack looks really good, suits were lacking for a while and this adds another 3, alongside a armour outfit, masks are nice but lack customisation options, so take your pick ultimately.

Shame Houston wasn't playable out of the gate, but him coming out free next patch shall certainly do,
Really fun, action packed heist, and a pretty difficult stealth, especially solo, but I'm a big fan of the challenge.

Weapon pack lives and dies based on if you can tolerate burst fire, but the shotgun may honestly make that worry go away, damn thing SHREDS. rifle kinda sucks though.

Outfits, half of the suits look good, but honestly not a fan of anything else on the pack.

Priority if you're splitting the DLC up imo

If you have a friend with the DLC heist
Weapon pack > Heist > Tailor

otherwise
Heist > Weapon pack > Tailor

It's got a pretty mixed reputation due to it's pricing being a bit too much, but this pack has probably my favourite heist in the game. Great to stealth and great to do loud, and the design of the mission objectives is quite versatile, makes mixed tactics work well, unlike other heists that reset a ton of progress going loud.

Weapon pack is not the biggest thing in the world, the shotgun in the pack is a good niche filler, although sadly got nerfed in a later update and doesn't hit quite as hard.

Don't care much for the cosmetics in this one, lot of cool animation tech masks, but a bit too bulky and garish for masks you cannot customise.

if you have to pick/ choose I'd say:
Heist > weapons > cosmetics.

Solid stealth heist, loud is quite fun too if a little too limited in how much of the map it actually uses.
Weapon pack is pretty good, lot of great feeling and fun to use guns, although they don't really fill any gaps in the weapon roster
Cosmetics in the pack are great, really love the prisoner outfits in this pack especially.

much better pricing, sales seem pretty regular now too, I'd say grab it.
