Me and the boys visiting a Genshin Impact streamer after he says that he likes characters that look like children: https://youtu.be/3No325dR4uA?si=1982a23QK3eP3Dia&t=65
Oh my oh my. I really really tried to love ready or not. It had all the right ideas. The game design was to my taste, the guns were punchy, the tactical aspects were more than just gimmicks and I actually really like the mission struture here in the same way I like Splinter Cell Blacklist's, a progressing case checklist/mission world map.
I even like the pulsing of music in frenetic moments and the eerie silence in quiet moments.
Unfortunately 5 missions in, I encountered a game breaking bug. The trap grenades and their wires on doors were completely invisible. I checked online if I am just blind or not using the mirrorgun right but apparently this indeed is an actual bug. The prevalence of trap grenaded doors in this game means progress was basically impossible beyond this point. It was super super disappointing and annoying, the only reason for a decent score being the fact that I had fun for a bit before it.
Still, I cannot recommend a game that can randomly make it impossible to play :/

Feels really nostalgic to be playing SWAT 4 in modern times, but also feels bad coz I forgot how fucking hard and unfair that game could be. This game holds no punches at all, from the content of the raids to the crushing defeat making one mistake can cause. It's fun, addictive, and unforgiving. I doubt I will ever finish this due to the difficulty, but there's definitely something special about playing as a SWAT commander that scratches some primal urge in the back of our heads.
The concept is excellent; the execution is flawed. You will literally have tutorial bots on your SWAT team and the enemy AI will be 20+ year special forces veterans with wallhacks serving two tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Not to mention the maps are big and you have to literally find every single citizen and bad guy to the point where it becomes extremely tedious. I get what they were going for, but sometimes realism does not translate well for video games.
A game totally focused on the experience of cooperation against enemies that present notable resistance.
The game is perfect to play with one or several companions, although playing it alone is not bad, it is much better with friends since the bots play like a team of swats completely synchronized at your command, which I personally think takes away its fun ( but it's still not bad).
There is a very large number of maps, I think it is between 15 or 20 maps of all sizes, from a small house in the mountain full of traps to a raid on a hospital or a multi-story hotel that graphically are not only beautiful, but make you feel inside due to the atmosphere and tension generated by the details.
Although sometimes it has errors that can hinder the experience, such as grenades that does not go through windows or an enemy that instead of shooting you starts going in circle like Crash Bandicoot, it does not happen so much as to spoil the experience or detract from this piece of game.
Not only that, if you get bored later you can look for a tutorial on how to install mods. Installing mods is extremely easy and there are some that change the enemy AI, weapons and endless new maps.
Without a doubt the only thing it lacks is a map editor, but it is a masterpiece within its category. 8/10
