Ready or Not Reviews
Ready or Not is a gritty, immersive tactical shooter that excels in realism and tension. It’s best experienced with friends, where coordination and chaos create unforgettable moments. While the single player feels more like a training ground, the multiplayer delivers the full thrill. The game’s depth, from loadout customisation to career tracking, offers plenty for strategy fans. But technical issues, frustrating AI, and DLC-locked content may test your patience. If you’re after a serious cop simulator with high stakes and atmospheric gameplay, Ready or Not is worth a shot, just be ready to adapt when things go sideways.
Ready or Not scratches a tactical shooter itch that the gaming world forgot they had - a one-game genre revival.
VOID Interactive's Ready or Not makes a mostly seamless transition to consoles while remaining one of the best modern tactical shooters.
Ready or Not might feel at odds with itself a little from time to time, but it's still a solid if unspectacular squad shooter.
I'm definitely going back to playing the PC version most of the time, but that doesn't stop Ready or Not from being the best tactical shooter available on consoles today.
Ready or Not forces you to use all five senses, and teaches you that pulling the trigger is a last resort. A tactical shooter that can get a little repetitive, but whose foundations give you very memorable moments.

Ready Or Not is an incredible co-op experiencing, blending tough-as-nails encounters with hilarious co-op shenanigans and dynamic objectives. It isn't nearly as much fun singleplayer, but it's definitely just as tense.
The Ready or Not PS5 port is excellent. The measured, tactical gameplay features action-packed moments and some of the most memorable co-op gameplay you can have.
While Ready or Not isn't without its minor bugs and occasional performance issues, it remains a solid game. It offers a distinctive gaming experience that is somewhat rare in today's gaming landscape.
Ready or Not is a unique cooperative shooter. It's not casual fun in the way Helldivers 2 can be. That means it certainly won't be for everyone, and the solo experience doesn't hold a light to playing with friends for us. However, those elements mixed in with a harrowing and outright disturbing tone make Ready or Not one of the most immersive co-op experiences available on PS5 right now.
Tough, tactical, and totally uncompromising, Ready or Not delivers a standout experience for those after something smarter than your average shooter. Every encounter demands precision and patience, with real consequences for poor decisions. Ready or Not is a must-play for fans of methodical, high-stakes gunplay.
Ready or Not lets us play as the captain of a SWAT team and does so with bewitching skill, captivating you with challenging gameplay and intriguing gunplay. Between single player and online co-op, customization and progression, agent management and nuances galore, you soon find yourself hostage to a brutal FPS that just won't let you go. And that's fine, even if not everything is (yet?) perfect.

Ready or Not is an awful title for a very good video game. It sounds like indie horror, one of those YouTube-friendly shockers where faces turn ghouli...
When things are working, Ready or Not can be a lot of fun. The problem, is, Ready or Not rarely works, either as expected, as intended, or as I’d like it to. Some may enjoy its edginess, and others may find a completely different experience engaging in multiplayer. I’m frankly too concerned about toxicity from what I’ve heard in single-player to dabble in this exercise with randoms on mics.
While it may not overtake its inspiration, Ready or Not offers an unflinching tactical shooter experience with tense missions and brutal circumstances.
Ready or Not is not only a near-perfect video game, but one that advances the medium in a way that no game has before.
