Why so many good reviews?

[Pavlissimus]

Game was fully released, and there is no more excuses about unfulfilled promises. There is a reason why we have an option to change reviews on Steam. So why not to show that we do not tolerate necessarity of using mods, to make this game bearable? If you praising AI mods - go praise mods. Do not praise "release" state of the game.

[Chrystal]

Most reviews are probably from the games Early Access build, people are probably too lazy to change it or have moved on.

Then again, it is up to the players discretion to change their review.

Things that people should be aware of:

-This is a full price game
-Has been in EA for years and some problems (Namely the AI) have been criticized from all the Early access players and support edition users for over a year and they haven't addressed it.
-1.0 is still missing a lot of basic features (Certain cosmetic icons, vest not following the player in pnp view, Subtitles aren't correct in some lines, etc.)

Being a pig and conducting on-knock raids and shooting people, their kids and their dogs seems to be something these gen z/millennial/gen beta psychos think is ok and like to do.

What are you talking about? Honest question.

It's just a video game for god's sakes, if I want realism I'd go down the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ shooting range down the street, and believe me I do. I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate the representation of recoil in these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tactical shooters.

Unreal Engine tactical shooters are always been a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mess, no matter how many YouTube or PR moves you want to do, because you're making the player face bots designed to be faced against arena shooters.
It. Just. DOESNT. WORK.

Why do you think Rainbow Six Vegas 1-2 were hard but forgiving, but you're right, it's more Gears of War than a tactical shooter, but at least it was somewhat enjoyable and armour mattered.

You people sure say a lot of crap about Call of Duty, at least that game is honest and doesn't hamper the player on what's it's trying to do.

No. 14000 positives reviews for 4000 negatives reviews since 1.0.

You can filter by date. Unfortunately it's still getting lots of positive reviews ever since release. By far less, but for some reason people like police murder simulator and act like special forces methheads amount to "difficulty". Seems like the kind of crowd you could please by rolling the dice on the start of every mission and just giving you instant death randomly. Would just make it difficult for them.

Didn't write negative review but at least deleted my positive review since this isn't what was promised and hardly can be called 1.0, maybe some release candidate before final bugfixing because when not even entry points work it's pretty bad, bugs and glitches every step.

[IPunchedYourFamily]

I gave the game a negative review, which I never tend to do, for two reasons; being that I think game performance has gotten worse from EA, and that the team made a fundamentally bad choice releasing (to honour their promise to hit end 2023) instead of holding the game back and getting at least the optimisation done.

In this modern world where everyone is either 'screeching' or 'waiting to screech' I understand why they decided to release. If they said they were delaying the game everyone would have declared it dead and they'd have been refund and review bombed for being 'scammers who clearly never plan on finishing their game'.

But, if they'd gotten it right, every single milsim and copsim gamer would have come back and paid full price, and in my view that would have been the far smarter play.

Real.

Because most of them played just the first mission, left positive review and never played it again. In this case, I would probably leave positive review too. Check global achievement statistics:
Complete ‘Elephant’, ‘Relapse’ and ‘Neon Tomb’ at C+. - 0,9%
Complete ‘Buy Cheap, Buy Twice', ‘Hide and Seek', 'Ends of the Earth’, and 'Greased Palms’ at C+. - 0,9%

99% players didnt complete the game... You need a few missions to realize what hot garbage this game is.

True, the first smaller maps are quite doable but as bigger missions comes then it shows how bad it is.

Huh? This game is inspired by the SWAT series from the 90s and mid 2000s. Plenty of boomers enjoyed those games back in the day.
Not really sure what generation has to do with it anyway.

According to Recent Reviews, most people still review the game positively.. So no, it's just you and a vocal minority that continues complaining about the game. Everyone else is having fun with it. Deal with it

[SquirrelzQL]

The game is actually better in other ways, like how the AI Teammates are utilized and how you can take lead on entries. I really have always wanted that in the SWAT games. But I can agree that the optimization is in the gutter for 'slightly' older PC Builds and AI reaction time is really rough at different moments.

Achievements doesn't work in multiplayer apparently.

Yeah, speaking as someone who remembers the SWAT series this game is really fun.
