SWAT 4: Gold Edition

As someone who has no nostalgia for this game at all, as this is the first time i've ever played it, and only found this game because i was interested in Ready or Not and many were recommending this series, i gotta say it holds up pretty well today. The tactical gameplay and tension during every mission is just not something you get in most FPS games anymore. The fact that either you only have 1 shot, and that it shifts civilians/targets in every new attempt, the feel you get from it doesn't go away, even after playing it 10 times. So, despite not having a real story, it compensates in heavy atmosphere and immersion, an incredible sound design, high stakes shooting and some fucked up moments you'll remember well after finishing it. The only problem i encountered, is that the AI team sometimes just don't respond to your commands, getting stuck in doors or not shooting at all, even when the enemies open fire first. They'll sometimes get confused if you ask them to tie up two people at the same time for example. These problems resulted in the whole team getting shot down, or getting me shot down a few times. This is the reason i cannot give it 5 stars, as it is noticeable enough to become bothersome. Anyway, overrall it's a great experience and i'm glad i bought it. Recommended!

A fun, slow paced strategic FPS with controlled bursts of high intensity. THIS is a tactical shooter. Highly recommend. Don't let the age fool you.

get the dogs, let's go fck with old folks

The game is easily one of my top favorite games of all time. I still have my boxed copies of the game and it's expansion. Seeing it on GoG was a dream come true. I've been wanting to buy it digitally for the longest time. I've only bought a few games from GoG, but they've all pretty much ran perfectly out of the box, and felt like modern tuneups of the older games. SWAT 4 didn't get this same treatment from what I can see. After a bit of INI tweaking I managed to get a proper widescreen resolution and a bunch of other things working, but it's a little disappointing that it seems like this is the same as the old boxed copies just without the DRM. Still it's worth the price as it's a good game, just be sure to do some wiki diving to get it running right.

I woke up this morning, and then I remembered, "What a good game SWAT 4 is, I think I gonna buy it", and then when I opened gog, there it was on main page. Now I gonna play this s.o.b., a game unlike other FPS where you go Rambo and kill everybody, here, strategy is key.
