I am surprised at how well this game has held up over the years. I bought this game for $5 and actually prefer it to the ready or not game on steam in its current form. Hopefully the devs of ready or not take notes from this game. SWAT 4 gives you the experiance of being a swat memeber complete high risk mission with your team. It encourages you to be non leathal in most cases. For $5-10 I highly recommend this game.
Where do you even start with a review with this game. I guess I will just keep it short and to the point. This game is riddled with bugs. I do not think I have played a release game with as many bugs as I encountered in this release. The city can be extremely beautiful at times while other times it looks awful. The NPCs that are not important to the story look bad, like really really bad. The amount of recycled npcs is high and often you will see the same person talking to themselves because of this. I am lv 13 with about 5 hours into the game and I am one-shotting everyone with a small knife and have about 75 health kits on hand at any time to spam heal myself and there is no cooldown on healing. You can’t remap controls on pc. I can not say much about choices in this game but from what I can tell, killing vs nonlethal doesn't not matter as there is no wanted system or moral system. Oftentimes missions you can complete with stealth do nothing as at the end of the mission the story plays out as if you fought your way out of the place or the mission just ends with you taking a shortcut out. The leveling system is basically percentage buffs to stats. I came into this game with only ever watching one cinematic E3 trailer which actually spoils a good amount of the intro into the game which was disappointing playing through 2 hours knowing what is going to happen. This game is about as good as watch dogs legion is currently. I can not put all I want to say in this review but this is not a good game this is bad game. 2/10 P.S. Take all the time you can to create your character as there is no way to change any part of them after you leave the creation screen, hairstyle, beard, nothing can be changed.
