Overall, I don’t think I was ready for Ready Or Not. Either that, or Ready Or Not wasn’t entirely ready to release. There are some real glaring issues that make the experience less than enjoyable, while there are significantly fewer aspects that genuinely build on making this game as good as it could be. As someone who’s generally not a fan of PVP, Ready Or Not seemed like the perfect alternative to Rainbow Six Siege X, but maybe it was not ready after all.

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.

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.

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's grounded, gritty gameplay is one of the best tactical experiences on console. It requires you to take it seriously to be successful, but that's what an elite tactical shooter will do. If you're into this sort of thing, I highly recommend it.
