Ready or Not: Dark Waters is paid DLC for VOID Interactive's uncompromising tactical shooter, and it shifts the action into maritime environments - think claustrophobic ship corridors, low-light cargo holds, and the kind of sightlines that punish anyone who moves without thinking. If the base game already had you slow-peeking every doorframe, this DLC turns the dial further by taking the same no-mercy design philosophy and funneling it through some of the tightest geometry VOID has put into the game so far. The DLC adds new missions set around waterborne locations, bringing fresh level layouts that demand real communication in co-op. Playing with a coordinated group is where this package earns its keep. The multi-level ship environments create vertical threat scenarios you don't face as often in the base campaign - enemies can be above, below, or behind a bulkhead at almost any moment. Solo runs are possible but the mission design clearly imagines a squad of up to five, and going in alone feels like reading half a book. That Mixed review score at 61% positive deserves an honest look before you buy. The complaints cluster around a few areas: some players found the mission count slim for the price, and a handful of technical rough edges at launch frustrated people who expected a polished expansion. VOID has patched the base game consistently over time, which offers some confidence that feedback will be addressed, but if you are the type who wants a complete and flawless product on day one, the current reception suggests waiting a patch cycle or two. For fans of the base Ready or Not experience who have burned through the existing campaign and want new ground to cover, Dark Waters delivers exactly that - new spaces built with the same tactical intentionality, a fresh context that makes even familiar mechanics feel tense again, and co-op scenarios that reward practiced teamwork. It is not a reinvention of the formula. It is more Ready or Not, in water. If that sentence excites you, this DLC is for you. If you are on the fence about the base game, start there first.
