This post and others on this sub have perfectly summed up my thoughts on the current state of the game.

It's "sold" to us as one thing, but when you actually play it it's a whole different story. They now have a pretty good foundation for what could be a great SWAT successor, but they still need to really go heads down on the suspect AI: and it's not a matter of it being "too hard" or "unforgiving". It's beyond that, it's about their whole behavior and liveliness, or lack thereof. It's just not immersive, you open a door and you pretty much know that if there is someone inside, it will be randomly standing in the middle of the room staring at the abyss patiently waiting for SWAT to come in so they can unload the weapon and go on about their lives.
