Ready or Not

I was NOT ready lol. This game definitely deserves all the praise and hype. I've read reviews complaining about the squad AI, but playing it straight up prior to going for an S-rank run I had practically no issues aside from occasionally having a high priority suspect for arrest getting one of his limbs blown off by my guy with the 12 gauge leading to a replay, but that's kind of part of the hectic, high tension fun. The cheek-tightening gameplay of this game will have you more caked up than Kim Kardashian by the end of it. The environmental story-telling is excellent, the story itself is gripping, level design is practically flawless and pacing is nonstop no matter how slowly you move to clear a given mission. The level of customization for yourself and your squad's weapons, gear, etc. without having to grind for anything other than free optional cosmetics is unbelievably refreshing and engaging especially in this day and age. It may not be everybody's bag, my only major issue is that I want a replay option from the pause menu without having to return to HQ first, but if this looks like it might be up your alley, I can practically guarantee that it absolutely is. Ready or not, jump on in and never forget that the B-rank is totally worth it for an excessive force charge when you unload the pepperball clip into Amos Voll's balls lol.
