Supporter Edition owner here, and I have mixed feelings about this latest update. If I could leave a neutral review, I would, because there are both positives and negatives to consider. While the hotfix addressed some issues, there are still a few bugs, and the forced censorship is a bit odd. It feels like some parts of the story and background are being altered just for the console release, and as a PC player, I’d prefer having the option to toggle the censorship on or off. It’d be nice if this could be an option for both PC and possibly console players as well.

In terms of gameplay, the AI is still a bit of a problem. Friendly AI has always been a weak point, and while some changes have been made, they still feel neglected. On the other hand, enemy AI is fairly competent, though they sometimes have odd behavior, like being able to see or shoot through walls in situations where it doesn’t seem possible. Civilians, too, continue to be a challenge—they can run off or get stuck in places that make completing missions difficult, which has been a persistent issue.

The graphics overhaul is another noteworthy change. The game used to look stunning, but now it feels a bit muddied and less sharp, particularly after the adjustments made for the console version. The visual quality may not be as impressive for those who care about graphics, but the performance (FPS) has noticeably improved, which is a positive development for most players.

One of my personal frustrations is the reworked suspect custody animations. The original animations were more realistic and intense, but the new ones feels a bit awkward and less fitting for high-stress situations. It’s a minor detail, but it does impact the overall immersion for me.

I really enjoy the game and wish VOID Interactive all the best moving forward. I'm looking forward to seeing what new maps, weapons, and hopefully future DLC they bring to Ready or Not.

TLDR:

Supporter Edition owner with mixed feelings about the latest update. While the hotfix fixed some issues, there are still bugs and the forced censorship feels out of place, especially for PC players. The AI is still problematic, with friendly AI needing more attention and enemy AI having odd behaviors like shooting through walls. Civilians remain a challenge, often getting stuck or running off. The graphics overhaul is a bit disappointing, though FPS has improved. The reworked suspect custody animations feel awkward and less realistic. Overall, I enjoy the game and look forward to future updates, including new maps, weapons, and DLC.

Just to clarify, I got this game for free from a small Twitch streamer, and I enjoyed it so much that I ended up upgrading to the Supporter Edition.
