Ready or Not Game was developed by VOID Interactive and brings back vivid memories of the numerous hours I spent playing the original Rainbow 6 games a long time ago. for apparent reasons as well. This first-person shooter game makes you constantly aware of your surroundings and largely depends on your group. It’s not easy to laugh it off in the post-mission group shower when you are shot in the ear for forgetting to check your corners, I can tell you.
Ready or Not (video game) is a tactical squad shooter that does nothing new but does everything the old way rather well, so right away we’re in familiar terrain. As a SWAT squad member responding to different live crimes, you may witness some extremely distressing scenes.
That first real campaign mission is a metaphor for Ready or Not writ large, however. Dry humor dialogue doesn’t quite sit in the passenger seat beside a grimly atmospheric tone that seems determined to drive you into wall after wall of pain. The tone feels a little off. Indeed, one of the missions puts you on a college campus with several active shooters; it just seems so tasteless that I can’t help but think it’s here solely for shock value.
There are plenty of missions with civilian collateral—quite obviously, it’s your job to restrain them safely and keep them alive—and Ready or Not game does an okay job at tautness and realism, steering clear of the usual gung-ho dramatics of its genre. Close-ranging headshots will drop you or enemies instantly, while wounds will slow you down – though you can still somehow manage to “Hold F to stop the bleeding” with magical bandages, so I don’t know what to tell you.
You can instruct your squad to regroup on you or breach certain rooms, and your team will let you know when they need to arrest baddies and civilians. They also can be commanded to rejoin your position. Unfortunately, you cannot command them to step aside as they count the skirting boards as they stand in doorways. The AI is not very consistent throughout the solo campaign. While your team will get in the way like cardboard cutouts, they’re uncannily true when it comes to clearing out rooms full of terrorists.
Honestly, I got confused with the intervals of continuous gunfire and yells, indicating that my team had killed all the bad guys just as I squeezed by one to get in the room. If it’s okay with you, I would rather have some of that action on a video game instead of my friends sparing me the trouble of going down to the shootout in real life.
Of course, the solo campaign feels basic; after all, it is. It’s clear Ready or Not was built from the ground up as a multiplayer-only shooter. Playing it with others is an even more hair-raising experience because you can coordinate pincer moves and tandem breaches to take out the opposition by calling out the commands and pinging them off.
At the very least, playing with other people is a lot more fun since it comes alive for a complete experience; you won’t wonder where everybody else went or attempt to climb a six-foot obstruction with jackboots on your feet.
With peers, though, Ready or Not Game is less depressing. I mean, it’s always preferable to handle situations like these with a positive attitude when you can, and having some buddies along helps that. Just imagine you and your buddies laughing your asses off together while trying to halt some gory mass shooting in a nightclub.
