In a sense. A ready action (melee version, at least) is basically an attack of opportunity that doesn't require for the enemy to "move wrong in your zone of control". Just to come in your range in any way, shape or form.
The way Solasta let you manage RA for casters is that they work only with attack cantrips (i.e. Firebolt or Eldritch Blast) on the other hand.

So basically an overwatch? wich is like a ranged AOO? I played solasta but I don't remember using RA.

Kind of - it can be *any* condition, so you delay your action until something satisfies that condition (before your turn comes up again). For a computer, some constraints are necessary - so in Solasta you had melee and ranged ready actions only. So if a person comes in melee range, you can smack them with held weapon, or in ranged weapon range you can fire a ranged weapon, or cast a spell etc. The general idea is very powerful but even a watered down computer game version would be useful.

Yeah I know how it works on P&P I just don't remember using it in solasta but it just sound like an overwatch with an ofensive spell, wich is completly fine with me even if on P&P you can be way more detailed.
