1. What kind of game is Ready or Not?

Ready or Not is a tactical FPS game developed by VOID Interactive, where you can experience realistic operations of modern police special forces (SWAT). Players become SWAT agents and must perform various operations using advanced strategies and teamwork. The game offers a realistic combat system and detailed tactical play, providing an experience differentiated from existing general FPS. In particular, operations that take place in various environments require systematic strategies and teamwork,
not simple shooting  .

2. Main features of the game

  • Realistic Tactical Play : Reproduces realistic SWAT operations, requiring coordination with teammates, careful movement, and tactical judgment.
  • Various missions and scenarios : Various situations are provided, such as hostage rescue, terrorist suppression, and drug cartel crackdown. Each mission requires a tactical approach and careful tactical judgment is very important.               
  • Realistic AI and hostile forces : Hostages and enemies behave unpredictably and react in a variety of ways, including running away or resisting.
  • Wide range of equipment and weapon systems : Customization of the equipment (shields, flashbangs, tasers, etc.) and weapons used by special forces is possible, making strategic choices important.
  • Supports single and multiplayer : In addition to single player with AI teammates, you can also play with a focus on teamwork in cooperative multiplayer.

3. Game play experience

When I played the game myself,  I was impressed by the realistic battles and strategic gameplay
. The enemy AI is very smart, and you can easily get defeated if you just rush in.
Especially in night operations, the use of lighting and sound is important, and communication with teammates is essential. In addition, there are missions of various difficulty levels, and it was impressive that even low difficulty levels require detailed strategies. Battles that take place in various environments such as downtown, abandoned factories, and residential areas further maximize the tension.

4. Advantages and Disadvantages

merit

  • High immersion with realistic tactical play - I liked the emphasis on tactical elements and the different play styles for each mission.
  • Co-op mode where teamwork and strategy are key – the experience is best when played with friends.
  • Detailed graphics and sound effects - Impressive sound design including weapon textures, gunshot sounds, and environmental noises.

disadvantage

  • A bit high difficulty for beginners - As the tactical elements are strong, first-time players will need time to adapt.
  • Some optimization issues (frame drops may occur on lower specs) - As the graphics are great, a high spec PC is required.
  • Lack of single player content - While you can utilize AI teammates, it falls short compared to multiplayer.

5. Conclusion - Is it worth playing?

Ready or Not  is a must-play game for gamers who like tactical FPS
. The realistic combat system and tense missions give a distinctly different feeling from the typical FPS. However, you should keep in mind that the difficulty is high and there is a lack of single-player content.
You can feel the best immersion if you enjoy co-op play with friends. If you are looking for a tactical FPS,  Ready or Not is a solid choice.
