SWAT 4: Gold Edition

THIS IS NOT AS DEEP AS R6. But it does what it does well. I play this on my cheap uni laptop and it is a lot of fun.

If you have any interest in tactical shooters, this is a centerpiece title for your library. It is timeless and while not completely perfect, you won't be dissapointed. TONS of replayability and the ability to customize maps however you want. Aside from the excellent campaign, there's a great mission editor that allows you to customize map settings on any level. Want a church full of AK toting old ladies? Done. Seriously this game is worth every penny, stop reading and buy it.

Since my first outing with the Atari 2600, I have rarely found anything as exceptional as Swat 4. It's a game with unlimited replay value because of the fantastic randomization of events. Will a suspect comply? Will a civilian blow your cover? There's so many factors that make this game so tense, plus the controls and graphics are simply fantastic. So glad to see it show up on GOG. Fantastic job, everyone!

The game is pretty hardcore, if you go full rambo, you and your team mates get easily killed. Because of that patience is highly rewarded - but! Sometimes certain mechanics can switch into clunky mode (especially the AI) and you may end up dead in a kinda unfair way. Missions are usually short though, so - on paper - replaying one till you can master it for a satisfying completion shouldn't be too much of a trouble. By the way, I've heard the point system is not exactly reasonable, but trust me, in normal mode that doesn't give any trouble at all. Definitely check it out if you're interested in tactical shooters, there are lots of fun mechanics you can experiment with, and the random enemy/civilian placements can keep challenging you even if you already know the map like the palm of your hand.

An oldie which has aged well. Works fine on Win 11. Gameplay is tense, authentic, and unforgiving. One of the most unique FPS type games where tactics matter. Nearly 20 years since its release, it remains in many ways the ultimate SWAT experience for PC.
