Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“This game is clunky. Ready or Not, is a much better FPS police game. The controls are difficult at best, the menu selection for team actions is based on, whether the game wants to offer the action or not. I feel like there is not full…”
“Good game for singleplayer. Horrible Ready or Not ripoff otherwise. Buggy and Laggy.”
