Look, ZERO HOUR nails the tactical, squad-based shooter thing. Getting a team of friends together, planning your breach, using gadgets, and clearing rooms without getting wiped is chef's kiss. It's tense, requires actual brainpower and communication, and feels incredibly rewarding when you pull off a smooth operation. If you're tired of run-and-gun and want something slower and more methodical with your buddies, this is it.

The Good Stuff:

Proper tactical gameplay. Think Rainbow Six Siege's planning phase meets SWAT 4.

Amazing with friends. Seriously, don't play this solo expecting the same magic. Communication is key.

Satisfying loop of plan -> execute -> succeed (or fail hilariously).

The Big Annoyance:

THE QUEUE TIMES. Trying to get a server, especially with a full squad, can take ages. Like, "make a sandwich, check your phone, contemplate life choices" kind of ages. It's the single biggest buzzkill and can really eat into your game night.

Good game, fun to play, But make servers for the russians....... tired of hearing cyka blyat every game
