Recent reviews by Degreelessness Mode

-It's Payday 2 with updated visuals, and the core gameplay loop will always be fun (when it works)

-Server instability during peak hours (for the past four days at the time of writing) which prevents you from getting into any lobbies
-No offline mode. If you want to play solo, you will still be impacted by the ongoing server issues noted above
-XP is locked behind challenges related to heists, combat, and your career. Farming challenges for specific weapons / maps to progress once you hit higher levels is required, as simply completing heists nets no experience whatsoever
-No server browser
-No lobby chat (voice or text)
-No pre-game planning mechanic
-Due to the above three issues, you cannot discern if a lobby you're in is stealth or loud. If you're hosting and you want to go stealth only and restart on failure, you have no way to communicate that until the game begins
-No way to discern primary from secondary weapons when purchasing new weapons
-Stealth bonus has been removed, which coupled with the experience issues, discourgages stealth play
-Probably more QoL issues that I'm not yet aware of

Overall, it might be great in a few months or less if the devs listen to community feedback. But what happened to games being released in a finished, polished form?
