Ready or Not Reviews

So many glitches in the game makes it impossible to S rank on solo private lobbies. The first time I almost got there but I couldn't arrest anybody in mission 2 past the stairs until somebody died. The second time I almost S ranked it, the guns just disappeared so I was missing evidence. Frustrating as tits and the hit-boxes are out of this world, reticled in on and then shot the same dude 3 different times before it registered as a hit. It is impossible to S rank any mission on Commander because your team is likely to shoot to kill at least one person. The enemy has zero recoil and aim-bot, which the aim-bot wouldn't be so bad if their gun physics were semi-equal to your own. I paid 70$ for the full bundle when it feels like it should only be worth 40 max.

All in all a good simulation, yes sometimes the enemies go Terminator on you and destroy you, but the gun play is realistic and the behaviour of the enemies also (most of the time), they hide and run, still some bugs from time to time but is fun playing with friends. A+ for the lightning effects and the visualization, it makes the game really hard. Curious to see what is still to come here

Meh, I don't recall last time I regretted purchasing a game even if it was bad. This game has so many issues that make Single Player excruciating experience. The Gameplay is not that good at all. Controlling team is clunky and tedious, AI NPCs often take forever to comply. AI team is not the brightest too. It's too slow even for a tactical game. You can't run and thus you end up spending minutes walking around the map while looking for the last suspect, etc. It feels like a downgrade compared to SWAT 4 and even Rainbow Six games in so many aspects. It's also rather shallow in prep. There is so much potential that is wasted.

Folding the PAID dlc achievements into the main game achievements, and prioritising the development of said dlc over fixing game breaking bugs that had been present since day 0 i.e. the borderline spinbotting AI means that if you really want to experience this game, you're better pirating it

VERY tactical shooter, gives surreal experience game-play when playing solo. Being able to utilize and command your team with CQB is amazing, haven't played a game like it. Also fun with friends, turn off your tactical play style and have more fun with it. Now, yes it does have some bugs, main one that I really notice is at times my AI team won't follow the commands I give, and they'll just stand there. Also, the hitbox of AI team and friends are way to large, we'll be like 2 feet from them and you can't walk by them. Other than that this game is excellent.

Ready or Not has become one of the best tactical shooters I've ever played. It delivers everything I want out of a modern FPS game, without any of the filler that plagues many modern multiplayer shooters. The gunplay feels incredible. It's punchy and satisfying and gory all in one. It's also very harrowing. The randomness of suspects and objectives in the map continues to keep me on my toes even after 300 hours in the game. There any many times where I find myself with sweaty palms and white knuckles because of how tense shootouts can get. It's one of the main reasons why I find myself coming back to this game over others like it. In the same vein as SWAT 4, this game prioritizes tense tactical shootouts and non-lethal options over a simple bloodbath. The tone also can't be understated. It's bleak and nihilistic and unfortunately all too real in today's world. This game depicts crimes in a realistic light, showing scenarios of terrorism, drug abuse, cartel violence, human trafficking and even CSAM situations. It doesn't pull any punches either. I highly respect the game for showing real world scenarios in such a light, though I couldn't blame anyone if this type of content would be a deal-breaker for playing this game. It doesn't glorify any of the actions in the game, while also not taking a downright copaganda/Blue Lives Matter stance either. It strikes a balance that accurately shows the real threats that SWAT officers face in today's world. The game is highly replayable if you enjoy tense shootouts in urban settings. Since coming out of early access, Ready or Not has already released two excellent DLC expansions, and I hope that they continue to release more to extend the life of this game. It also has a strong modding community for those interested in extra levels/weapons. I've even been able to record my own voice lines and mod myself into the game which has been fun. Overall I highly recommend this game. For those who enjoy tense, tactical gameplay with an emphasis on realism, this game is for you.

Ready or Not is a gripping tactical shooter that delivers incredible gunplay, immersive sound and a tense atmosphere. Every weapon feels powerful, and the game’s realistic lighting and detailed environments heighten the intensity of each mission. The sound design is especially impressive, making every gunshot feel authentic. However, AI issues hold it back, enemies sometimes behave erratically, while teammate AI can be unreliable and die in very stupid ways. Technical glitches, like weapon evidence falling through the floor, can also be frustrating. Despite these flaws, Ready or Not is one of the best if not [b]the best[/b] tactical shooter available, especially in co-op.

For those that remember Sierra's swat 3 and swat 4 games... this is exactly that, with today's graphics, more levels, guns and options. Gameplay is slightly hard, but nothing that cant be done if you take your time and use your team to advance. if you are looking for a fast paced action arcade game this isint it. the more you try to make it that kind of game the more you will die. yet it keeps my heart beating and after 2 hours of gameplay, i feel drained of energy because this game is so psycologically getting to me. the danger feels real.

Why is there no Restart button when playing single player? The down time is enough for me to honestly just press Alt+F4 and say "Meh I'll play later." While loading into another game! Spent an hour trying to get "S" rank on one of missions, eventually I got everyone in cuffs and alive but the game bugged out and the suspects gun disappeared into the map. Don't understand why I can't hug a wall and throw grenades around the corner without leaving cover. Main issue is the downtime between single player missions, Multiplayer has a restart option! All and all I give the game a solid 7/10 Buy it when it's on special.

it's fun with friends, there's a good amount of content and the core is very strong. Suspects are challenging to deal with and their behavior is unpredictable enough to keep things interesting. There's small QoL updates that could be nice, since ending missions can get annoying when you're searching for the last civilian or a suspect's gun that might have fallen through the floor. Other than that, very solid game that offers hours of fun
