I really, really want to love this game. I've been looking forward to it since 2017 when the first trailer was shown off, and I've stuck around for 6 years since then. Unfortunately, the game has been a broken, buggy mess since the first day it entered early access almost two years ago, and even in 1.0 it is still a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of a game.

The AI for suspects is just blatantly unfair as dozens of videos on Youtube will show you, glitches both minor and major that have been in the game for years are still present even though this is apparently a full release, and in a game that claims to pride itself on minute details in the worldbuilding, they cut corners by using AI to generate artwork throughout the game. If you play solo, which is what the game should be built around as a spiritual successor to SWAT 4. you will almost certainly find it incredibly frustrating without mods that tone down the enemy AI's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ reaction times and behaviours.

This game has so much potential, and it's upsetting to see how terribly the devs have taken handled nearly every aspect of it.
