Early Access Review
Whoa, someone in the gaming industry finally admits that, if you're holding your weapon pointed forward, your hands are "getting heavy" in less than two minutes (even Escape from Tarkov doesn't deal with this truism, with its meta-laserbeam-head-eyes-hip-firing BS). I love the ability to manipulate a weapon adequately in a game, as one would do it IRL. Here, you can almost do it — unfortunately, I can't remove the magazine, can't manipulate the bolt/slide, and I can't eject the one in the chamber (and do whatever the hell I want with the ejected cartridge, like I can in Tarkov). Recently, they announced that they're purchasing the license for a new AI (AI is one of the major complaints in other reviews). I only played solo so far, because I haven't found coop buddies, but I'm pretty sure it would be dope, because I am having a good time soloing. Oh, and nothing is locked — you have full access to everything the game has to offer, which, in my book, earns the most bonus points. Thank you, BlackFoot Studios, for actually respecting my limited time! <3

You could expect Insurgency: Sandstorm levels of beauty, since it's the same engine here.

Another fun comparison: it took BSG five years to implement infrared lasers that are visible through NVGs in Tarkov. This game had this feature even before I bought it (more than a year ago).

I haven't tried Ready or Not yet, but, if you're a tacti-coolness fanboy, you'll love this one even in the current state.
