- Ready Or Not comes out of early access to reach its pivotal 1.0 release. And so today we review the ins and out of this superb tactical police shooter and ask if it's able to claim the throne of SWAT 4.
It's possibly the sleeper hit of the year, so grab yourself a cuppa and let's explain all in today's review.

A fantastic shooter that has come alone so much since early access days.
Also a small correction in the video… you CAN actually select your starting position before each mission. It’s limited to certain levels but it does exist in fairness.

@NoRainSlowBrain My good man, I can assure you I wasn’t paid. I would love it if they did pay small channels though!
And your opinion, albeit a little heated, is absolutely valid. I won’t delete it or whatnot… it’s important everyone sees a difference in opinion to mine because it’s just as valid.
I will say I played a LOT of early access but note I played a LOT of single player. So for me, this update is a HUGE upgrade and that’s down to the A.I. being vastly improved in the SWAT side. Before I really struggled to get through any levels in a coherent way as suspects just rampaged me. So with the additions of officer perks, a more structured campaign, and the new levels and redesigned areas, it really is a good upgrade.
There are bugs which I called out in my review, like the issues around the AI going through doors etc. And the performance is wild at times but maybe I’m a little more protected from it with a 4080.
But overall, it’s a fantastic shooter and with a few patches this will be swimming as before. I really do think it’s deserving of a 9. But appreciate your comments mate, more than fair what you say.
I know the concern. But the updates are so huge I think we can at least say they were actually doing something in that time it was quiet their side. My feeling is they will release some hotfixes sooner than later, but we shall see! Fingers crossed my good man.
@@NoRainSlowBrain yeah, the game is actually worse.
Your SWAT AI actually gets killed more now than they used to.
They'll literally not check corners/sides and just get shot
They did alot of good with the swat ai, but the biggest back track with 1.0 was they removed the mission varients, and locked all the maps behind the progression of commander mode. Its a completely different game now because of it, instead of getting on, and playing a couples maps, i now gotta complete missions in a certain order one way.
agree, and they should of balanced the mission order a lot better or balanced the enemy AI too
Yeah that really disappointed me
agreed, there seem to be some performance issues as well. and im getting shot through walls alot, could have used some more work before release imo
As its should be.
From what I’ve heard, they removed mission variants for some sort of narrative reason alongside the fact that there would have to be some different ai systems for each variant which would take awhile to do.
I do think the progression stuff could probably be bypassed with a mod or something in the near future though ngl
The ai teammates are still janky af. But the "search rooms" option is a god-send, no more backtracking the whole map.
It's great. But they NEED to fix the terminator-esque OPFOR AI wallbanging. It's extreme right now. It's actually ruining my (and many others) experience.
I second this. Literally getting one-tapped through walls with pistol calibre weapons right now.
Officer permadeath is selective. They will become “incapacitated” and as long as they do not quit, they will return to duty in 3 missions. I’ve had a lot of incapacitated officers but one only one perm death. “Killed In Action”
Do u have an officer that has the trait to save them? Because that would probably be why
@@makogearsolid8002I’ve had the same thing as him and no paramedic officer so it’s probably not that.
Suspect AI is abysmal.
The AI Cheats, it's basically like playing a COD or BF lobby with a hacker that has auto aim and wall hacks. It's fucking unplayable.
The AI is trash on this game.
I've heard a lot of people talking about the removed mission varients, but to be honest, I'm not at all shocked by it. Even in EA, these extra modes felt really half-baked (with the exception of the hotel for some reason), between their typically short length in comparison to Barricaded Suspects and straight up not even being an option for most maps. I did like that for Twisted Nerve, the Barricaded and Raid map variations were merged into one.
I don't know, it's one of those things where I can acknowledge that their removal is objectively a downside and get why it annoys so many people, but it just doesn't bother me enough that I'd mark the game down for it. Honestly, my two big problems boil down to the performance on certain maps (The Spider and Ends of the Earth being the stand out examples on my PC) and suspect AI still being way too erratic. Like, they improved the civilians significantly in regards to cooperation levels, so I don't see why the enemies weren't at least slightly nerfed. The friendly AI, I've not played with it long enough to note any major problems and them automatically securing evidence and suspects/civs is a Godsend. Overall, I really like the update, it's just not perfect and maybe wasn't quite worth the full year of waiting. I'd still give it around an 8, personally and it's probably my 2023 GOTY (I didn't play too many new releases this year, admittedly.)
I love the humor you use throughout the video, please keep that up!! Great video m8 👍
Too kind mate, glad the video landed well. Good feedback for future videos, appreciate it!
1:18 as an American, and a gun tuber I have to laugh at this good stuff man 😂
Fear not, I’ll be taking on British teeth in an episode eventually.
Love from your British cousins xxx
I'm not a military simulation guy but give it a try and instantly fall in love
Looks like a treat, it’s games like these that give me hope for the industry
Sneak in like Bill Cosby on a quiet night … 😂 😂 😂
I should add “allegedly” there so I’m covered legally… 😂
How does this guy have so few subs? 10/10 review
Too kind of you to say, appreciate you. Cheers 🍻
For the bug at 4:40, the reason why it happens at least from my experience is you tell the team to do something but then you change up the order as they were moving to do it or doing it.
Such as from pick locking to stack-up as the guy is moving in the
To fix it just ask the squad to fall in let them move away from the order for a second or two then order them again to do it
Another bug is when a person is standing still not doing anything, could be suspect or civi. To fix this bug just primary weapon melee and that will take them out of the stuck animation.
This game is very challenging and immersive for sure...I love it!
"guns here are not toys, they are tools to 'bring order to the chaos' " - somebody was playing a LOT of RoN since 1.0 lmao.. good one
I thought I heard that phrase somewhere!
"or go full American, shouting commands while they bleed out on the floor" 😂
Cool Video, would enjoy to watch more of this.
Very kind of you Nate, appreciate it.
"storm in a tea cup" I like it.
Liked and subscribed!!! I watched the whole review, incredible game!!!
Thank you so much mate, appreciate both the comment and sub. And yes, I think it’s a superb game, easily a sleeper hit of last year.
This is the first time that I watch anything from your channel, but I really enjoyed your writing, editing, and overall style of your video! Thanks, and keep up the good work man; you're going places!
Oh wow, was not expecting such a lovely comment mate. Means the world to us smaller channels when people take the time to write such nice things. Thank you so much mate xxx
Great Vid Man, I'm totally new to the game and are more a single-player kind of dude. This video helped me a little so thanks !
Glad it helped mate, and appreciate the comment as ever.
Did they get rid of mission select? Like, I can't figure out how to just hop in and pick any map I wanna play. Maybe I'm missing something
dude had me at "proper american " HELL YEAH BROTHER!!!
Fun fact: I married an American so I clear the jokes with her! :-)
I really like your idea for cutting the power
The one thing I can think to add would be blindfire like tarkov has
Thanks for the positive comments and all the rest of your feedback Cockney Gamer :)
Keep up the great work, it’s well deserved praise!
Solid overall review. Hope the channel grows well! Much better work than a lot of other youtubers out there. Nice one.
Ah mate, comments like that mean the world to us smaller channels. Really appreciate it. Thank you!
I like it but it runs so baddddd thooo
Really good point and I wish I explained this more.
So I’m running on a 4080 and I’m seeing wild jumps from 30fps all the way up to 120fps (at 4k) so for sure it’s power hungry.
Weirdly tough the early access ran smooth as anything, so I’m hoping a few patches will iron this out.
Appreciate you calling this out for everybody!
Runs fine on DX 11. DX 12 is the only one I had problems with. Helmet cams also severely drop FPS but it never goes below 90 for me
RON is literarlly the "shortest" early aaccess i ever gave money to. Great Job Void !
"If youre feeling proper American you can go in guns blazing..."
Hey!!!........... yea
GREAT review mate :D
Thank you lad, appreciate that a lot. Means the world to us smaller channels!
The script for this video has some excellent writing
Too kind mate, thank you
I tell ya the Jackanory - I went up the apples and pears, and was brown bread!
❤❤❤
This game reminds me of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six released in 1998. I almost wanted to play when I got Windows XP but it never came until now. Ready or Not!
Now that is a blast from the past! Thank you for reminding me! Reading the comments here you’d think this is a terrible game, but honestly I think it’s great.
@@cockneygamerGood thing i didn't buy it under Early Access. Least I waited to see the good reviews about the new updates they added. The reason I wanted to wait was for AI, and my favorite weapon I did see in the game is the p90.
SWAT 5.
@@cockneygamerI just don’t know how you can this a “serious tactical” game when it doesn’t have cover mechanisms like RB6 Vegas. Seems goofy just walking around corners and such. But overall that was an excellent review and commentary.
"scummy early access" was absolutely RoN, which as a big fan of the game is something i hate to say, they went for almost a whole year without updates and minimal communications (blog posts). I absolutely love the game and the quality shown in 1.0, but thats such a bad way to potray the game's early access
I’m really comparing “scummy” to the likes of The Day Before, which thankfully this ain’t as we did get an actual game!
With a mod that fixes the enemy ai a bit, honestly this might be one of the most realistic cqc games I’ve ever played
Funny as review thanks sir. Greetings from Australia 🫡.
Thank you kind sir, and you my friend are part of an elite crew representing less than 5% of the channel. Welcome!
My only issue is the difficulty doesn’t ramp up the second level is like the hardest one 😂
The AI is a lot better for combat, but I still have them regularly get stuck and not listening to orders
Glad you reviewed this great game, It's brutal, tactical and stressful. I will say though playing with friends in definitely a good way to play as you feel more like a team player rather than the commander in SP but both work, both are good and it brings an overall great game.
Great little comment mate. If only I had friends! I did play in co-op but sadly you don’t get any AI support so it can be tough. I imagine with 3 though it’s a blast.
Nice, assume you WERE born within earshot of the Bow Bells? North Londoner myself. Good to see a review on a single player campaign game, with decent AI. I used to play brothers in arms, and the Tom Clancy games. Looking to get back into it. My ideal game would be a WW2 game, single player, with a squad. Any suggestions? POst scriptum caught my eye, but it is massive multiplayer, with a dying fan base presumably. I know there are single person shooters out there, but they are all a bit "arcadey" I think
The honest review i saw so far, but you forgot to say they removed the possibility to choose what type of mission to choose, was present in EA
Thank you mate, appreciate that a lot. And yes spot on, you do need to do missions in order to unlock which honestly I’m personally not too bothered about as I enjoy the progression but I totally get why so many people hate it, especially after EA. Well said and thanks for calling it out for others.
@@cockneygamer I think I didn’t explain my self fully, what I mean they removed is the possibility to choose what type of mission to do on what map, like barricaded suspect or hostage rescue, or bomb threat, giving vuoi a lot of replay ability options for each map
@@gamingnurse5.56oooo yes, totally get what you mean now. Im not sure if the missions pick one of those variants for you as the default now based on the map. But for sure it would be nice to select them.
good wishlist :)
I'd say the idea of a modernized SWAT 4 is sensational, but the meat RoN currently provides is far from even remotely ready, and the comparison between the two games is light and dark (with RoN being in the dark, unfortunately). We could praise the ideas and the setting, and the attention to details story-wise, but that's just about it. RoN left EA to become a far worse iteration of EA, not even close to a full game state.
VOID has a great vision but lacks the competency to make it work right. Many problems in-game still present ever since the alpha era. The devs have a bad tendency of taking one step forward and two steps backs, sometimes the other way around.
Is there any kind of progression system?
Hmmmm… not in the sense of your own character no.
Effectively you open up new missions as you progress which get harder and harder.
And in a loose way, you can keep making your team stronger and stronger if they don’t die.
So it’s a bit weak in that sense, but it does feel great in getting your team up and running with their perks unlocking.
4:29 "Kim Kardashian-style" 🤣 This looks really interesting and i loved both Swat 4 and also played tons of hours in Rainbow 6:Raven Shield back in the days. Ive read many comments though regarding that the enemy ai here are like freaking terminators, super-accurate and usually starts blasting like within a second or two, like theyre not having anything of what you shout at them. In any case im still going to try this, cheers from Sweden!
Great comment! Thank you. A.I needs tweaking, but it never ruined my fun. Absolutely having a blast with it, and like you, I’m a big SWAT 4 man.
Fun fact: my first, and only marathon I ever ran was in the beautiful city of Stockholm. The Swedish are a wonderful breed so it’s nice to have you here!
@@cockneygamer Oh haha, cool, my uncle used to run marathons back in the day too 😋 Yeah Stockholm is pretty though too crowded for my liking and just being there seing people walking like theyre all in a rush somewhere makes me feel stressed haha. Im in a city about 200 km northwest of Stockholm called Borlänge, we are about 50 k here but i like it here. Even in this small city we have an IKEA warehouse and also our kinda famous shopping mall called Kupolen (its like "the dome" in english. 3 stories with 50+ stores, restaurants and stuff, its pretty nice
Anyone try this on Steam Deck yet? I do want to give this a go.
It doesn't run very well, most you'll get is 20-30 fps, and when you have to make split second decisions, and spot if your target is armed or not, the steam deck doesn't do any justice to this game sadly.
Swat 4 still has better suspect ai......sad
haha brilliant review, proper job
Thank you kind gentleman!
This game needs a proper cover system a la Rainbow 6 Vegas.
for americans this isn't very realistic , during school shootings the police just wait outside until everyone's dead and only go in after 3hrs have past since the last shooting sound is heard ... if you want it to be real the game objectives should be to see how many parents they can block from going in and saving their children , for each parent they block they get a $0.50 raise in pay
Lmao come on
Hahaahahahaa I'm dieing omg funniest comment easy! 😂
Uvalde yes
Meanwhile in Nashville they charge right in
@@penguinsrockrgr8yt216 will have to look that up , good to hear for once
That wasn’t swat and that isn’t the norm
your ameican comment was funny, but common man, we aren't that bad.
Haha, fear not, all the banter is exaggerated. I love Americans, don’t you worry, the Brits will get it in the neck too!
Bill Cosby gonna come looking for you😂😂😂
😂
hold on to my what?
C2?
Haha… the child’s version of C4!
1:13 wait I thought this was the norm for all special teams around the world. Didn’t know Americans are the only ones who go in and actually face the enemy😂
The police station is dead quiet with no dialogue interaction or any sense of ambient humanity. No story-driven dialogue from the player character, overall lacking in realistic radio chatter. Feels like you're the only officers that responded to missions.
Yeah, it's bizarre and sadly represents the current state of the entire game: rushed and unfinished. It never should have left Early Access in this state. It feels like playing a beta build that's 6 months or more away from launch.
Sensational? How much they paid you?
1.0 is a mess.
bro did those guys pay you for this review?
have you ever played this game?
the AI in this game is a nightmare, shitty in EA and even worse in 1.0
the new stress system is the cherry on the top of shitcake - overly aggressive and overly reactive enemy AI that doesn't surrender unless you flashbang it 5 times in a row combined with dumb friendly AI that just follows predesigned pathways through every room, doesn't take cover, backup or use taser, papperspray or non-lethat ways on their own and turns every encounter into bloodbath... only way to play this game is to ignore dozens of weapons and play with beanbag shotgun only because for some reason killing criminals increases stress level and after every mission you have to send all your staff onto therapy
just why...? i would understand that events like unauthorised kills (criminal didn't raise his weapon or was on the run), death of civilians due to misfire or being executed by criminals as hostages, death of fellow officers or missing objectives (killing someone who should be captured) will increase the stress level but why killing criminals who when get ordered to drop weapons and surreder rather choose to shoot on police officers sends your officers into mental crisis? what the fuck
the armerican cops sure are trigger happy haha
literally just SWAT 5. JUST BUY THE RIGHTS FROM SIERRA OR WHOEVER N JUST CALL IT SWAT 5 ALREADY LOL.
