People justifiably compare this game to R6 Siege and with good reason. In fact, It's what the latter should have been in light at how it was marketed in its early stages:

However, in Zero Hour's current form, it is not a superior version. (But it is in no way a bad game)
For one, the game caters to a specific set of audience. If you're a big fan of Milsim or SWAT 4, then you'll find yourself quite at home; however, if you simply want an arcadey and fast paced shooter, then you might want to reconsider your purchase.

The game in my opinion also lacks replayability. While there is COOP and your run of the mill PVP, you'll find yourself being acquainted with most of the game's maps and modes. There are currently 3 PVP game modes:

1) Your typical TDM
2) Hostage, pretty self-explanatory, you just have to extract the hostage
3) Defuse the bomb, again pretty self-explanatory

Aside from those you've got COOP. This game mode offers the same maps as in PVP (albeit some exclusive ones) and litters them with AI, which are pretty difficult to deal with i.e. they set traps, resist arrest and make your life and your partner a living hell.

So what's the game's main selling point? I'd say its mechanics.

This game may look simple, but there's a respectable amount of learning curve when it comes to its gameplay.

For example:
- You can control your character's movement speed, making him go slower or faster. This is important in order to reduce noise and weapon sway.
- You can retain your weapon's magazine by slowly reloading, or if you don't mind losing a couple of spare bullets, drop it entirely for a faster reload.
- You'll find yourself contemplating on which gear to take since resources are shared i.e. AK weapons are only available for two of your squadmates, so you'd better have an already customized backup weapon to take.

I can keep going on and on but you get the point. This game is tailored for you to take your time, heck even the PVP rounds last for more than 5 minutes. You'll also find communication to be pivotal even if it's with total randoms.

As such, I can comfortably recommend this game. It is also quite cheap and goes on sale regularly. The game's devs also regularly dish out updates so more content is expected to arrive. Please be mindful though, the game is still in early access so expect bugs when creating lobbies or joining matches.
