I haven't run into any of the game breaking bugs that other people are reporting. Got this after the pricedrop and $30-$40 was right around what I was expecting to pay. There's some animation bugs but nothing that breaks the game. Bike mechanics feel really good especially if you turn off the grind assists. The game forces you to control your balance. Plays a lot like Shredders.

Consolidating the options menus, a good sound track, and the ability to make a custom character would all be solid things to add but don't detract from the game today.

I love this game for the PvE game mode. Its a fun take on run to the position, hold it, maybe fight off a counter attack and then move on. The different enemy types keep it fresh, as well as the ability to play as the insurgents which adds a whole other level of difficulty. The Survival mode is fun but its more of a here's a crazy load out for a gun. Sometimes youll get an Uzi with a sniper scope, or a m60 and it forces you to change up your playstyle to match. There's mod support like ISCM that add better gear. Overall its strikes a nice balance between something like Calll of Duty and something like ArmA.

This is my favorite game of all time. I will say it is best played with a designated crew (the more the merrier). There's no other game the brings that camaraderie like Arma 3. A hundred players, working as one to complete an objective is something that just has to be experienced. Air Assets, tanks, medics (especially with the ACE mod). You can get lost in this game for hours. Heck I've got over 2500+ and I know people that have sunk well over 3000+. Its truley a master piece.

This game is really good. You can get lost in the customization, and creating different kits. The maps are beautiful and well laid out, blowing doors, and breaching feels really good. The gun play is some of the best with different positions so you don't flag friendlies while moving down hallways.

The biggest areas where this needs work is in the AI. They're either way too good, and hit you instantly, or they just stand facing a wall while you walk up behind them. Another thing, and I'm not sure if its just my machine, but there seems like a grain filter added to the game. It pulls away the realism and makes it feel like you're watching a webcam trying to get bright in a low light condition. I'm sure this stuff will get ironed out through early access but overall this game is a lot of fun with huge potential.

Overall Zero Hour is a solid shooter. The dynamic interiors are the standout feature of this game. It's certainly overshadowed by games like Ready or Not or Ground Branch who have more polish buts it's a fun time with friends.

The AI isn't the best, the animations and gunplay are rigid, but where Ready or Not gets stale from a level perspective, Zero Hour delivers. You can play the same map over and over and never tackle it the same way twice. I also like the mission planning but I wish in PvE it was longer or player driven.

I'd recommend this game due to it's price for those looking to try a Milsim shooter, or to those that play Milsim shooters and want to get their non Milsim friends to try it out. Hard to beat it at the price.

1. Go to Funspot and play FunHouse.
2. Return home and miss playing FunHouse at Funspot
3. Install Pinball FX3
4. Find out it has FunHouse as a DLC
5. Still miss Funspot but now you can still play FunHouse until you go back!

This game is great but the FFB needs to be fixed for those with Direct Drive wheels.
With a kart you want the weight of the wheel to be heavy to simulate the lack of power steering, but Kart Kraft has an issue where the wheel oscillates on straightaways like you're being constantly hit on each side.
If it wasn't for this I'd give this a thumbs up and change my review but for now its got some work to do. Karts don't behave like that, even on a bumpy track.

When you pick up a Tactical FPS you want the developers to drop you into the boots of the operative, and VOID Interactive has done just that.

The best part of a CQB FPS is thinking through the puzzle of angles that threats can come from. Ready or Not nails this with some great level design. They make environments that feel believable with great textures and lighting, and then layer on complexity. You aren't just clearing rooms in a house or building. You're dealing with traps, random spawns, and an AI that already out performs most games in the genre. You'll be stacked up ready to breach a room, and another door will open and a tango will run out shootin. Sometimes you'll breach and a panicking civi will rush out the door at you. It means that guy pulling rear security in this game actually needs to pull rear security. Its not just a feel good name for your buddy who got to the door last.

With all the complexity this game already offers, they provide you with a ton of tools to help you approach the mission in different ways. Trying to complete the mission with a non-lethal kit can be a fun challenge, and its actually a viable tactic in some scenarios. The post processing effects pull you into the combat. The slight blur and shake of the gun recoiling against your cheek is so well executed I could almost feel my sinuses open up to smell the gunpowder. Concision from bad Bangers really rocks your vision. This isn't stuff that a game in Early Access needs to focus on, but Its the type of thing that pushes this game above others.

All this praise isn't to say this game is flaw free. Its Early Access so you will find some bugs, and even the occasional crash.
The AI is good, but they're very quick to shoot, you'll need to be on your A game when breaching the room. I've also had instances where I was wall banged by an enemy that couldn't see me. In single player, your AI Squad member sometimes have a hard time following orders. Sometimes they get stuck when you ask them to fall in. That being said, multiplayer has just as much problem getting people to follow orders in public lobbies. Hopefully Void Interactive will improve this as it goes. I'd also like to see VOID Interactive implement voice control for the AI instead of the current menu system. I've been using voice attack to input the commands and it makes the Single Player 10x more immersive.

For a game that has been out for less than a month it offers a lot and has a ton of potential. Does it justify a $40 price tag? I think it does. Zero Hour is a similar game that sells for $12 and I think that game is a steal. It probably should be more like $20. Ready or Not easily offers twice as much value so the $40 price tag doesn't bother me at all. I'll easily get my monies worth.

If you're a fan of Tactical FPS games, add Ready or Not to your list.

Like it's name the game completely about Squad mechanics. Your fun in the game is directly tied to having a good squad leader. Have a good one and you'll contribute much more. Have a bad squad leader and you'll just be running around like a chicken with its head cut off.

I can't say this game is bad, but it's not something I'd recommend for someone on PC.

There are two major things this game is lacking, FoV changes and triple screen/VR support. FoV Setting at a minimum would be required for PC.

A few other things that are annoying are the fact that you can't race to the checkered at the end of the stage. I could live with it for an arcady title, but if you're side by side in turn 3 you wanna race to the start finish line.

It has a great sound model, the racing is really good. It's fun driving as your favorite Nascar drivers.
