60 of 323 · most liked first- Censors game - Releases DLC instead of bug fixes - Can get one tapped by a drug dealer but they can take 3 shotgun shells to the chest - Enemy can see through walls - Downgrade pc version for console All in all, play swat 4, still the superior game after all these years.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was a good game until they censored and downgraded the PC version in order to release it on consoles and they don't even let you remove the censorship
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you bought this game in or after September 2025: I'm sorry, you were too late, and you got the raw end of the deal. The best time to play this game was between Christmas of 2023 and August of 2025, between the 1.0 launch and the console update, where its soul was gutted and sacrificed on the altar of appealing to the puritanist megacorporations of Sony and Microsoft. What remains is a dementia patient. A decrepit husk, ostensibly the same person on the surface, but the soul walked out long…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I shot up a bunch of pedophiles, drug dealers, and sex traffickers then played this game to cool off
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’m not going to accept censorship even if I can use mods; at the very least, there should be a free DLC on Steam for the original version.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been playing Ready Or Not for awhile now. I've thoroughly enjoyed most of it! Recent updates have fundamentally broke the game and censored allot of things. For starters the graphics seemed to have taken a HUGE hit for some reason. The censorship has made the game less gory and less nudity, taking away the more mature adult themes that made the game feel way more realistic and grounded. The AI has taken a huge dump as well. I've noticed NPC's shooting me through walls or even one…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, but the sudden change to censorship is really unnecessary and spits in the face of everyone who supported the company at the start. For some reason, everything these days has to be censored.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm a veteran Ready or Not player. I bought the game years ago when it was still in Early Access. In my (approximately) 160 hours of play, I've: - Completed ALL the achievements in the base game, Dark Waters, and Home Invasion (I still have to complete the new DLC) - Finished all the missions in S at least once - Learned all the maps by heart And as much as I love this game, deep down I hate it. The problems are endless, and I can't ignore the fact that Void Interactive is a development…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Spineless devs, downgrading graphics and introducing censorship so they can release an 18+ game on consoles.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →couple of years ago this game was awesome, the devs are very serious about making the game run worse, have more issues with ai that make enjoyment difficult, and unrealistic gunplay. I used to recommend it, but there is very little going for this game other than to come back to it for a few mins, get bored/mad, and quit. All of that is beside the whole political rif-raf with reduced gore due to the addition of consoles. Which, yes, the console release did make the pc version worse but its…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I backed the game within a week of it being able to support the developers. At that time, the only way to purchase the game was from their website using their own privately sourced point-of-sale system (through Xsolla), which then they would provide a Steam Key at that time. I was all for paying the $120 dollars to support a project I thought would possibly be the spiritual successor to the SWAT franchise, specifically the SWAT 3/4 releases I played as a youth and a teen, even if it incurred…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you're buying this game in 2026, you'll be fine. It's competent (for the most part) and if you're looking to scratch that Swat 4 itch, this'll do it for you. I however, won't be playing this ever again and I push through refund requests every month like clockwork despite my hours because it simply isn't the game I purchased years ago. I bought Ready or Not to support VOID when they left their publisher over censorship, I even bought it for friends because the balls it takes to do such a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The developers haven't listened and/or implemented anything the community wants in forever and continue to not listen. They're pissing away the potential this game has. This game has huge high quality modding scene and even though they've acknowledged that major updates break mods, yet they don't allow people to launch prior versions of the game (You can download and play old versions using the Steam Depot but this doesn't let you play new DLCs). Multiple huge mod creators have left the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ready or Not is a game I really want to recommend, but in its current state I can’t. The core of the game is genuinely great. The maps are well designed, the atmosphere is fantastic, and the game offers a really satisfying variety of weapons, attachments, and tactical equipment. The DLCs are also solid and add some great locations and scenarios. When everything works, it can be one of the most immersive tactical shooters out there. Unfortunately the AI completely ruins the experience.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing game, but unfortunately with the console release, it has been toned-down. The game is still deep, but VOID went back on their word after promising to make a game that stood out because of its bravery to represent the horrors of real life. On top of this (not sure if its just me), the game has just felt generally more janky and unpolished compared to a year ago. Friendly AI feel unrealistic,repetitive, and buggy, enemy AI are really dumb, and graphics seem to be worse. Overall, immersion…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Morale system ruins the game, supposed "SWAT" team members going into crisis because we killed too many armed men with machine guns shooting at us. This game wants you to go non lethal so badly and then consistently put you into situations where no real SWAT team would ever go non lethal. On top of very unrealistic civilian and criminal reactions to swat, civilian will tell you to ♥♥♥♥ off then 2 seconds later put their hands up, some bad guys will mag dump you then put their hands up. Very…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thought I could speak well of this game. Well... here we are. The game gutted it's quality to adapt to a console's capabilities. For some reason, this graphical down-grade applied to PC players as well. Additionally, they added censorship to it. Censorship to the game which promised to NOT CENSOR anything. This was also because of the console release. PC players affected as well. Why? Why ruin the PC version, losing masses of long-time fans and supporters? Why not add it for PC again,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Have You Ever Seen A City Topple Like A House Of Cards? If you are a fan of SWAT games like me, this game is definitely the right choice. Being able to play with friends is also great and makes the game much more fun. But don't forget that the gameplay can affect your friendship XD From frends to enemies... The gameplay is very detailed and gorgeous. The variety is generally great and enough in every way. The game takes place in Los Sueños, a fictional city facing a massive wave of crime and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Game on itself is a real masterpiece. But the Developers would rather roll out another 10€ DLC than making the AI better, which is absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and a pain in the ass to work with.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought the game a while back and really enjoyed it. Even made a couple of really great youtube videos with it. Then....game got censored. That was my job as an editor! I didn't want to play a censored shooting game, if I did I'd play Roblox. The AI was always bad, but honestly it seems like after the censorship update it got worse too. Devs absolutely RUINED a good thing. If I could ask for a refund, I would. I'm really getting tired of early access games starting off really great, and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like this game... I also hate this game. I have never played a game that makes me feel like a tactical genius one minute and then makes me question whether my AI teammates were recruited directly from the parking lot of a Walmart the next. The few bugs I've encountered don't belong in a "haha funny bug compilation." They're more in the category of "who the ♥♥♥♥ did QA on this thing?". At one point I found a civilian who had fused with a wall at the molecular level. The man was no longer a…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →How to ruin a great title in a few easy steps: 1) remove support for most of your widely used mods. 2) make it debilitating to play multiplayer with just one friend. (While also making it unrealistic, because we all know ONLY two swat officers are going into a major mass shooting incident by themselves....) 3) censor your game 4) raise the price of said game after delivering buggy, low-tier DLCs, and failing to optimize the AI. 5) congratulations you've just earned yourself a bad reputation,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After sinking nearly 300 hours into Ready or Not as a veteran player and pledger throughout the games alpha stages, after S-ranking every Base and DLC mission, unlocking every achievement, and combing through the games lore, I can confidently say that VOiD Interactive has created a wonderfully immersive and unique, tactical narrative experience that I unfortunately cannot recommend that you purchase at full price in its current state. At its core, Ready or Not is probably one of the best…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game but no respect until the developers open their eyes to the fact that college students and LA crackheads aren't military trained professional marksmen

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game, but the devs are shameless pathetic sellouts who abandoned their core fan base for money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Censorship is the last thing people should be worried about in this game. The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ SWAT and Suspect A.I. post-console release is what needs to be looked at. It's hard (for me) to notice censorship when my SWAT teammates don't fire back at the guy drilling them with a machine gun, don't follow my commands, or just outright flashbang themselves when entering a room. It's even harder to notice censorship when a suspect does a full spin to shoot me in the head or when I'm getting sniped with…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game punishes you for eliminating active shooters and friendly AI lacks the intelligence for basic continuance of their life. Don't worry though, if you kill enough gangbangers your bot squad will put you down with better effort than that they put into actually stopping the criminals.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Getting one major thing out of the way that's preventing me from recommending this game: the enemy AI is equivalent to Minecraft Bedrock skeletons before they got nerfed, while the officer AI is all powered by one singular smooth-brained rat. For example, I try to go back to one room, but my officers keep blocking my way, all because they want to bag evidence or detain someone. The graphics are...okay for a game running on Unreal Engine 5. Bonus points for the optimization efforts, but the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was very excited to get this game as I played multiple other mil-sim flavored games. Unfortunately, the balance of AI makes this game unplayable. The friendly AI are a bunch of oxygen-starved monkeys who walk in the rooms just to die, and the enemy AI are SEAL Team 6 snipers who can get you from 50 meters with a single shot. After a few easier missions, the game is unplayable for me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's very funny that the Rules of Engagement in every game based on SWAT is a million times more restrictive than actual cop SWAT teams (This thought brought to you by playing Ready or Not)

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'll keep it short as possible, but there's a lot of issues. Devs seem more focused on DLC for more money than actually making the game work. AI is broken, the AI teammates in campaign don't function right. Enemy AI can see you through the back of their heads and shoot you through a wall and 1 tap you. Hell, they don't even have to be looking at you. Bullets can do a 180 out of their barrel, pass through the suspect without hurting them, and still blast you. Somehow enemy buckshot can pass…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Friendly AI is straight trash, from blocking your doorways to just standing in front of enemies letting them shoot and kill them without firing a single shot. The game has been out long enough for this to be fixed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Updated review as of 28/03/2026 After playing this game for over 315 hours and having owned the game and all its DLCs since 2024, I can confidently say that I no longer have any hopes in this game being as good as it once was, and I have no hope further in this game improving. For anyone who is interested, the game is great and a really good resemblance of how being part of law enforcement actually plays out. It is definetly a good game to play for a while, but not for long. The longer you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you want to become absolutely paranoid of doors and being in a hallway in general please get this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →To cut to the chase: is Ready of Not better or worse than SWAT 4? My answer: worse, but by a hair's breadth. The game definitely doesn't hide that it's a spiritual sequel to the 2005 tactical first person shooter, so that's the framing i'm going to work with. The Good: From a mechanical point of view, everything here seems to work as good or better than SWAT 4. If you know that game, you'll instantly understand what you're playing. If you want a game about tactical room clearing,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game is peak, but you gotta do something about the AI art it's so lame for such an otherwise detail oriented game. you know there's people in the community who would happily replace it with original art, do better.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved SWAT 4 back in the day, and Ready or Not is in every way a spiritual successor to it. This game can be seriously marketed as a horror game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not Recommended I used to love this game before the console release. I played solo, took it seriously, and felt like the systems actually worked. The AI team was competent, the missions were tense but fair. Fast forward to now, and the game is a complete dumpster fire. I am playing it more than ever because I am hunting achievements, and I only have one left: complete every base game mission on hard difficulty. The difficulty itself is not the problem. I expect hard to be hard. That is fine.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Slow development, censorship, lack of meaningful content after nearly 8 years since alpha release, and rampant undisclosed use of GenAI generated assets mean this is a game not only not worth your time or money, but clearly not worth the time of the devs either. Do yourself a favor; buy the original SWAT 4 off of GOG for like 5 bucks instead of this pile of neglected trash.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I held off on my judgement until after I played with the "Big Update" that lead to a lot of division among the player base. First off I will tell you that I bought this game since it was Early Access so I've been around for ALOT of the jankiness, bugs and crashes that came with the game since then. When I first bought it, I was hoping that this would be the next Rainbow Six: Vegas or any of the old SOCOM games but its falls extremely short of that. The suspect and SWAT AI has always been a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yeah it might be a good game, but I can’t really say that anymore cuz I was hyped for it for days and finally got it… and now that I’m playing it, it’s not what I expected. You can play solo with AI teammates, but half the time one of them gets stuck somewhere and when they not all together they don’t even listen to your commands. So you gotta keep making sure all 4 of them are behind you, counting them like a teacher on a school trip XD. It’s basically just a police simulator… go in, catch…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The AI in this game makes no sence they start shooting before they are out of cover they track you from all the way of the otherside of the map they know where you are at any point and they dont miss a single shot and the community is toxic as hell if you dont agree with them they get even more toxic
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Excellent game they've made here, really good and high impact gunplay. Great sound, amazing soundtrack and excellent worlds and atmosphere they've constructed, just so immersive. Also great at satisfying a specific bloodlust. Good with friends but even better with the AI team. G3 is my beloved. Allows for a good amount of modding to improve the experience. I even loved the diegetic maps and mission names being so fitting and immersive. Still gets a not recommend though. Yeah it's all the AI…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i really wanted to leave a positive review for this game but i cant do that taking in mind that this game got censored (censorship is bad of any kind, a mod allows for original content to be back) and no jumping/vaulting through a window?! cmon lol edit: also sometimes when throwing gas grenade it just doesnt go off, havent tested other variants edit 2: and theres a LOT of bugs, squad ai stuck in doorway or they want to walk straight through you and tell you to move away even tho there is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →pretty good game - phenomenal level design and exceptional gunplay only major downside is that its too hell-bent on completing objectives (when it doesn't make sense immersion-wise or gameplay-wise, like when you complete everything, defuse all the bombs, kill everyone, and you still need to find an unconscious suspect or hiding civilian to cuff up) which ends up causing a 10 minute perfect mission into a 30 minute wild goose chase.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ready or Not isn't a bad game. It's simply not the game it claims or wants to be. Originally intended as a spiritual successor to SWAT 4 (which you can find on GoG for cheap, I highly recommend it), RoN boasts sleek and modern graphics, on a modern engine with solid gunplay and a host of new features. While I really do enjoy it, it is simply flawed and frustrating and here's a couple of the core reasons why; Gameplay: Ready or Not's gunplay is one of its key features, you have a wide array of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is amazing and is a breath of fresh air. I'm used to fast-paced shooters. I play a lot of Team Fortress 2, I used to play Apex Legends, etc. So a game where I had to take my time was a really nice change of rhythm. You have 20 free missions in the base game and 9 missions (3 in each DLC), so I agree with people who say they want more content, but : -First, this game counts a lot on replayability. Whether it's playing with different equipment, playing alone without AI, in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In this scene where Grace plays the game of Hide & Seek, you start to see more of the LeDomas’ mansion. The ‘READY OR NOT’ production team shot in 2 separate locations for the mansion: • Casa Loma in Toronto, also used for the X-Mansion in the X-Men films • Parkwood Estate #ReadyOrNot
unlabelledView post →1.0 killed this game. what started as a grimey and hardcore game that took itself and the topic it depicted very seriously, went back on their own words, by becoming a censorship shill and throwing the playerbase's trust into the trash. And they remove good and fun features that a game should have (scenario select), in favor of a half-hearted "campaign" with no replayability
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Too much usage of AI assets and it seems the Developers are entirely unwilling to replace them with proper human made ones
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Stop censoring ♥♥♥♥ and catering to the audience who shouldn't be playing this if they aren't old enough anyway. I enjoyed the level of brutality the game brought with its realistic aspect. Runs like booty now, censored booty, is booty.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL:DR - This game is good, has a few issues, but is worth the $50 (imo) they're asking for it. This game has become a Rorschach test for a certain strain of OG backers and pre-1.0 players the kind who’ve convinced themselves that anything post-console release is an automatic betrayal. In those circles, the narrative is already written: the game “lost its soul,” VOID always planned to sprint straight into Sony’s and Microsoft’s catalogs, cash the checks, then ♥♥♥♥ off to a tropical island to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice terrorist simulator. Somehow every mission ends with civilians dead, suspects escaping, and my teammates questioning why I was ever given a gun. saved to school from the shooting but forgot to save the students Pretty sure the suspects are rooting for me at this point. 10/10. Would fail SWAT academy again.
