Ready or Not

This game isn't getting a BJ at the park with a nice sweet gentle breeze that caresses your tiny tight delicate hole type of great but its damn near close enough. What I would give this game on a 1-10 type of scale? I give it a taking a really good piss in the morning then walking out to the kitchen to grab a drink and you smell this aroma of dark hazel nut and dark mocha type of smell. That could only be one thing dads coffee. But that cant be he ran out on us years ago!? Wait no one who lives here drinks coffee anyways. Who the hell....Then You turn on your lights and would you believe your eyes! D......dad? Hey kiddo he says with a smirk. You go in for a hug and he grabs your balls and says I came back for one last tickle. Then you flashback to grade school you start to remember he didn't run out he didn't leave you boys. The court took you from him. But now hes back and you cant help but feel..... at home? Is this feeling? Euphoria? Then he whispers I'm back for goods boooyyyy and I wants whats mine that was taken from me. So I only have one question for you my son. Are you..Ready or not

out of 10. Great game a must have.

Really good game to play with friends, on other side its unplayable with random griefers. Singleplayer is okay but best is to play with premade friend lobby.

A really good FPS and police game.There is so many mods you can play with.But it is really hard for a new player.

Ready or Not has by far been the most played game I have on my games list, If you're into CQB/BD6 I would recommend this game for you. Each scenario requires preplanning, making loadouts that'll help you complete you're objective and it's definitely not a "run-and-gun" type of game either. You're meant to take it slow, and work together with other players. Definitely worth the purchase.

this game is really fucked up and thats why its so good as it isnt scared to shine light on sensitive topics and plus it is very fun and also pretty fucking intense at sometimes
I would recommend this game if you want PTSD from some stuff you see in this game or if you just like shooter games and shit.

Intricate in the rights ways, realistic, gore'y. Perfect Mil-sim for SWAT

The darkest tactical first person shooter i have ever played. One caveat i have for this game is the optimization of it as my pc still lags a lot with FPS drops. I hope the developers of this games further optimizes the game.

The game has excellent tactical gameplay and some really immersive missions.

However, it is constantly disrupted by serious bugs. I had a civilian with a bomb who wouldn't react to anything for five minutes and that after a 20min mission (had to restart). I couldn't complete the tutorial because key evidence wouldn't spawn (three times). Enemies glitch through walls and kill you unfairly. It feels like every couple of hours, a new game-breaking issue appears.

I really like the core of this game, but it's incredibly frustrating in its current state. If the devs manage to fix these issues, it could be such a great game.

Edit:
After not playing for a few days, I came back to find that my entire savegame had been deleted. What’s especially strange is that even when I install 100% save files, not all missions are available, only the ones I had previously completed with my old stats.

Очень красивая картинка в игре, как для такой задумки и реализации в ней все на высшем уровне!

Могу сказать, что это база из которой подобные игры вообще создавались, вплане механик и фишек, так же плюсом имеет то что все четко сделано, очень гибкая настройка всего и различные фишки имееться, еще радует обширный выбор карт, тоде респект.

В своем роде эта игра - топ, лучшая в своем роде)

А и кстати, не убивайте всех тимейтов 4 в игре, вас забанит временно на вступления в лобби лидер которого был чел)))))

kick down a door get shot in the head in 0.1 seconds. wait for like 2 minutes to go and do the level again. and that`s basically the game.

Me personally, I use this game as stress relief. Sure the achievements can be very hard to get but they are satisfying. But the best thing about this game is the power fantasy. Whenever things get too much I put on some 2000's divorced dad rock and start killing criminals, no ROE, no announcing myself as a cop, just the dispensing of justice

TL;DR- the game's fine, bro. It's a fun co-op shooter if you can get some friends together (but $60 CAD might be a bit steep for what you're getting?)

The trailers (and the overly dramatic YouTubers) make it seem far more... "involved" in the tactics, politics, and trauma SWAT officers endure. They even try to push this "tactical shooter" mentality--but to be perfectly honest with you? I've had much more fun running and gunning as two man duo fire-teams, completing different objectives and popping hand cuffed pixel terrorists in the head over trying to play the game "super cereal."
I don't get what some peeps are bitching about? The AI isn't difficult at all--just brutal--while the maps and NPC reactions/positioning feels varied enough to not feel stale through repeated play sessions. It isn't too complicated, it doesn't overdo the control scheme, and it delivers on the shock based map design that a SWAT game should engage in. It's fun! (-that's what matters, right?) ... but it falls short in some areas. Mainly in the "optimisation" department. Frame rate shuddering and texture pop in with a 3070 on recommended settings (auto set to "EPIC") is a bit rough, champ.

End of the day, Ready or Not isn't at all perfect but it isn't something you should sleep on either. If these games are to your liking, I'd recommend picking it up. Though, if you're looking for more than what's being delivered here, and you're still on the fence... go play any other "realism" driven shooter in your library. This one isn't going anywhere. IMO? Buy it on sale and you'll get more (flash)bang for your devalued buck.

Can't S-rank all the levels in co-op because you can never be sure if a suspect's gun has clipped through the ground or static objects. Imagine that feeling of subduing an entire level of criminals, just to find out you're looking for A GUN to get 100 % completion and you end up searching every inch of the map for a in item that might not be there. It's a decent shooter but I wouldn't pay the full price because there's plenty of stupid stuff like this in the game. It's complete bullshit in a game that's been released from early-access. And I'm not even gonna go into the whole "God tier suspects vs dumbass Swat team" AI-behaviour, glitching hitboxes and the dumb game design, like not being able to wield the taser and the shield together, not being able to change your gear without returning to the station, the equipment screen not having any weapon stats etc.

My daughter was going to try the game first and to our surprise this is one of the rare few games on steam that removed family sharing. (COD level greediness). How dare people try to share their game with family members or close friends. Oh ya, that's right. ITS NOT YOUR GAME. It's void's game and you're paying 50 bucks for their permission to play it.

really fun tactical sim. even more fun with friends who are bumbling idiots that end up friendly firing

very intuitive and very tactical if you want a game thats easy to learn and good to play with friends i highly recommend

This is such a great game, but there is still much to improve on. Here is what I would like for Void Interactive to improve: More attachments, more non lethal weapons, more specific commands, more weapons in general, and finally, more realistic grading systems.

Despite having great weapons, movement, utility, and dynamic AI, this games scoring system is complete dogshit and makes you wonder how long you want to role-play being swat officers condemned to the most dogshit ROE. (they want you to pepperball or taze dozens of russian PMC's with pkms and body armor to get a good score). not only that the game has to many inconsistency's (e.g., shooting AI in the head 10 times and nothing happens, maps have a chance to spawn poltergeists that make evidence disappear, and other s m a l l bugs.) game could be better but its not so its confirmed dog****. Cant wait for the CQB enthusiast's who weigh 230 pounds with 38% body fat to hop in the comments. FUCK

This game is one of the most detailed games I've ever played. The downside is that it’s one of the most detailed games I've ever played. Sometimes, when I play this, I have to hold back tears because I remember that although this is just a game, some of the missions you will play have actually happened or are happening right now in some part of the world.

Unless you live under a rock, you know there's a mission where you’re taking down the leader of a CP (child corn) organization, and the details in that mission are some of the most brutal and disturbing things I’ve ever seen. In the basement of that mission, there is a section of the ground that had been dug up, uncovering barrels (see image link 1), and if you put the context clues together, the child victims are k worded and placed into those barrels. If you continue in the mission you come into a red room where they’ve placed printouts of CP (child corn) and on the wall of that same are is what appeared to be a bookshelf, but looking closer at it its a shelf full of DVD cases labeled with a name and a single or double digit number (see image links 2 and 3) . Frankly, you can only imagine whats on there.

Sometimes while playing a mission, I have to force myself not to shoot the suspects after they’ve given up. I mean, it’s a game where you’ll spend 15 minutes trying to complete it to unlock the next mission. The game itself is something that cannot be topped. The detail, the realism, that gut-punching feeling of “this is happening somewhere in the world right now and you can’t do anything about it.”

I can say right now that I’ve never played a game where I truly had to stop for a second and take a breather regarding what I just saw. I’ve heard some people say, “Its not worse than no russian,” and it’s such a crazy thing to say. Looking at the missions and the detail, no game tops this.

Now, are you Ready or Not.

A pain to beat, but its 100% worth it, one of the best games i have purchased from STEAM, would recomend.

A Gritty Triumph Over Turbulence.
Ready or Not is the perfect example of what a tactical shooter should be: immersive, methodical, and challenging. Ready or Not is a gripping tactical FPS that delivers heart-pounding SWAT operations with realism. Despite daunting challenges—publisher disputes, technical struggles, and heated controversy—VOID pushed through to release a game, proving their grit and vision. The game thrusts players into challenging high-stakes missions as elite SWAT officers, demanding precision and teamwork. VOID fearlessly tackles controversial themes, like child exploitation in “23 Megabytes a Second” and neutralizing a volatile robbery in “Thank You, Come Again". VOID doesn’t shy away not only from controversial topics like child exploitation but and civilian casualties. These missions, while compellingly crafted, stirred debate for their raw, unsettling depictions, with the axed “Ides of March” school shooting scenario drawing particular ire for risking exploitation of real-world tragedies. Yet, VOID’s boldness in tackling such themes adds depth, forcing players to confront moral complexities rarely seen in shooters.
The gunplay is exceptional, with satisfying weapon handling and customization that make every shot feel impactful. The AI isn't perfect, but teammates follow orders reliably, while enemies use tactics like taking hostages or faking surrender, keeping you on edge. The levels are meticulously designed, ranging from dilapidated dorms to sprawling mansions, each map is unique and filled with details. Devs are truly put their heart and soul by making this game.
Despite all the challenges, VOID Interactive has persevered, delivering a game that excels in co-op and single-player modes, with a robust 1.0 release in December 2023 and DLCs like Home Invasion and Dark Waters adding fresh content. The developers’ consultation with real SWAT officers ensures authenticity, and their neutrality—emphasizing no political agenda—allows players to engage with the game’s themes thoughtfully. Bugs and clunky UI exist, but they don’t overshadow the experience.
Ready or Not is a must-play for tactical shooter fans. VOID Interactive overcame significant obstacles to deliver a game that’s both thrilling and thought-provoking, proving that even controversial topics can be handled with care in the right hands.
I highly recommend it for its depth, courage and unforgettable gaming experience that this game gave me.

A very enjoyable experience for you and possibly the friend group too. I have had a lot of fun playing RoN. There really is nothing like going through Twisted Nerve high af and getting jump scared by a crack addict with a knife and proceeding to blow the boots off of them with a shotgun. The only bad thing I have to say about the game is that the AI is bonkers sometimes. One moment you'll be fine taking suspects down and then the next you're getting pixel peaked like you're playing R6 Siege again against the random diamond player in a silver lobby. All around though, I would highly recommend getting this game if you are a fan of shooters and if you have at least one or two friends that would be willing to go through the game with you. Even if you don't there is a mode that adds in AI teammates to help you. 8.5/10

This is a first-person tactical shooter that strives for realism and has some strengths, but also some limitations.
The game's sound design and animations are of a very good standard, and the weapons are inspired by real models with a high degree of realism that makes you feel like you're there.
The game offers great tactical freedom and a high degree of playability.
Multiplayer is at the heart of the experience, offering tense and exciting co-operative sessions, while the single-player mode is more limited and less engaging.
All in all, it's a decent game, but clearly designed for team play.

Never has a game been able to make me feel like a complete idiot, then a genius, then grossed out and disgusted in the span of 10 seconds. I love SWAT 4. For a time, it was my go-to multiplayer game with a friend, but I think this game is a lot better in many aspects. It offers a much more modern SWAT experience while also being a love-letter to those games and tactical shooters in general. I played every main mission, and got S ranks on them all with an amigo. We had our ups and downs, but this game kept us coming back. Despite an absolutely soul crushing ending, I think I do really love this game. It's so much fun. I literally bought every single DLC for the game when they released, I love it that much. If you're not afraid of getting shot a bunch, or seeing some really messed up stuff (specifically the missions Valley of the Dolls and Hide and Seek), and you like tactical shooters, I think you'll like this one. There is no better feeling than S ranking a map in this game. I highly recommend it, but it's not for the feint of heart.

Ready or Not is a tactical shooter game in the style of Sierra's former SWAT 3 & 4 games.

You can select all of your equipment before a mission, including many details regarding its appearance. However, new equipment is only unlocked after successfully completing missions at a certain rank.

The missions can be difficult at first, but you'll remember the difficult points by repeating them. To get to grips with all the details of a mission, it's recommended to play it in single-player first, where you can also plan the entire tactical approach of the task force.

Overall, it's SWAT 5, even if the mission presentation could have been a bit more atmospheric, with short intro videos, for example, but it's still a definite recommendation.

Very fun to just go in and drop it like its hot (my sh*t getting dropped when they gun me down in 0.4 seconds)

load into mission
clear what i thought was all enemies
collecting evidence
get jump scared by meth head with a knife
die in 3 stabs
10/10 would reccomend

Me when AI randomly does a 120 degree flick to pop me in the head, fantastic game.

Poor optimisation and the devs seem to think that difficulty is achieved by giving the AI crack and wallhacks. It would be nice if the team AI was anywhere close to that but they seem more interested in ignoring orders, standing around doing nothing while getting shot in the back and complaining that you are stood in their way because they refuse to take a single step to the side to move around you. Its a real shame since I really enjoy this game but I've reached the point where I'm just forcing myself to S rank the last couple of missions so I don't have to suffer this anymore

very good game i just wish that u can have flashlights and lasers at the same time more guns and i wish they added magnifers for 1x sights

9/10, best horror game disguised as a non-horror game

Also, HE HAS A GUN MAN FUCK THIS WHOLE "Oh let them play out some long-@$$ surrender animation where they're literally pointing their gun at me for 2 seconds" JUST LET ME KILL THE TERRORIST PLEASE

gud game. SWAT. Save hostages. Collect evidence. Incapacitate criminals and terrorists. Hold up the law. But one mission u need to participate in human trafficking because some corrupt superiors want it that sucks.

amazing game. Improvements keep getting better. Not bought any DLC. Would recommend for military-style game!

Great game, Decently realistic, Its basically the old swat games but with better graphics.

go to save a college from a shooting only for the student to tell me to fuck off and not comply.

what kind of logic is this.

The AI has x-ray vision and you'll spend an enormous amount of time searching for one last piece of evidence at the end of your mission.

Those are the only two faults in this game. If you have a few friends to play this with it is totally worth the money. Coming up with a plan and executing it is incredibly satisfying, the few moments you have to react to a suspect raising their gun to you is tense and adrenaline fueled, and the customization is pretty stocked.

This game is very unique and for one reason in particular for me. Every time I die or if I fail a mission, I blame myself. When I die, it’s because I haven’t fully cleared the room or used the tools given at my disposal. When things are going smoothly, clearing every room, arresting all suspects with no casualties, that’s when shit hits the fan.

I am learning now to always be cautious and assume there is always an individual or individuals inside the next room, current room and outside. It’s a great game and forces you to learn from your mistakes and make new tactics.

I even started watching Swat videos from Brazil and it’s crazy some of the action these guys see. Ready or Not is very realistic and a joy to play solo or with your friends.

It reminds me of a buggy version of original Rainbow Six. This is what Rainbow Six SHOULD BE not whatever Siege is. Captures the vibe of the R6 games I grew up and loved, original and rogue spear. If you disagree you're wrong. Its fun if you're into more slow paced tactical shooters.

"Ready or Not" is hands down one of the most intense and immersive tactical shooters I’ve ever played. From the moment you breach a door to the last suspect being cuffed, the game demands strategic thinking, teamwork, and precision—making every mission feel like a real-life SWAT operation.

The realism is where this game truly shines. The gunplay is weighty and satisfying, the AI is unpredictable (in a good way), and the level design is brilliant, offering countless ways to approach each objective. The audio design deserves a special mention—everything from the echo of gunfire in tight corridors to the barked commands adds to the immersive experience.

I would highly recommend this game to any realistic tactical shooter and swat fans.
the amount of effort and thought that has gone into the development of this game is astonishing.
the game does have some dark and disturbing themes that no one wants to ponder. I give development team high praise for its respectful patrial of these hard to fathom situations.
the moment to moment gameplay is superb. the amount of choices you have for every element from room entry, suspect apprehension, and civilian control is phenomenal.
this game is an outstanding achievement of what creative modern game development can be. looking forward to future content, further development, and the console release.

it's recommended for who looking for strategic game with realistic graphic and gameplay

Things i love about this game:

I love shooting innocent civilians.
I love emptying my magazine just on a one dude just because he shot my teammate once.
I love throwing 3 flashbangs in room just to find out its empty.
I love kicking open doors and feeling badass.
I love getting penalties of unauthorized use of deadly force.

10/10 Game

This game sure has it's issues, but there's truly nothing else like it out there right now. This feels like the only legitimate attempt at the style of the old SWAT games.

It's greatest strength in my eyes comes from the level of immersion. You can really feel the amount of time they have poured into making each and every location feel real and have it's own identity. Playing this game on a rig where you can bump up the eye candy is a fantastic experience. The level of tension this game gives me is unmatched. Swinging corners feels truly dangerous as you know that you're one mistake away from a failed mission. Also, the AI squadmates are surprisingly competent most of the time but playing it with a real squad of friends is honestly the best experience as you share that sense of tension together with having to do some serious communication to stay alive.

The greatest weakness however is every time this great feeling of immersion is broken. There are so many small little things like buggy textures, overtuned AI, wonky physics, and more that just leaves a weird taste. It's not game breaking my any means but it takes a 10/10 game in my eyes down to something like an 8 with it feeling like death by a million tiny bugs.

Regardless of the issues, this is a fantastic game. Super immersive, great time with a squad of friends. Highly recommend.

guns+boobies+drugs+killing civilians = hell yea and awesome sauce brotron (but seriously this game is dark and does not hold back think of some of the most horrible things and its most likely in here in one form or another 10/10 game must try for fans of games like rainbow 6 Vegas)

Some civilian wanted to take pics of me,
somehow she got a headshot,
idk where it came from….

I don’t wanna make a negative recommendation but there are problems.
I like it rly much, but there are game/story braking bugs.
Which makes the game unplayable sometimes.
It’s not optimised with fps and ms when playing multiplayer.
Some npc‘s you have to find just disappear. Searched maps 5x, no one around anymore.

But I still like it it’s well made

Very well made, respectful of the sensitive subject matter, has active devs that listen to the community, and it's getting a console port with cross play soon. I have almost no complaints personally, and lots of the ones I've had previously have been addressed already. Worth the money, and if it's half off, that's a steal.

Bought the game and its DLCs. Honestly? The game is rather fun but the devs can shove it if they think they can get away with having ai generated images in their full release.

Call me whatever names, slur, or even just laugh at me, I won't support anything that has ai generated images or any ai generated content.

really good gameplay and top tier environmental storytelling

This game tries to get you to follow "Procedures" such as "Not shooting civilians" and "Supporting your squadmates". Personally, it's much more fun when you charge in blind, gunning down anything that moves, and then have an unsolicited Battle Royale against your teammates

Extremely great game, super realistic gunfights, strategic thinking, good co-op and solo play, forces you to identify actual threats before firing. Not to mention the beautiful Graphics.
