    This game takes the barebones framework that half-Life made for Valve and perfects it.

    This game made me feel things that no other game has been able to replicate. The intriquite use of using console commands to solve puzzles is mind blowing. No other video game requires you to cheat in order to beat it.

    all the characters have their own cutscenes as well which sell their story fully.

    One of the best games I've played, a phenomenal combination of incredible gameplay, an intriguing story and photorealistic graphics. The most realistic wooden boxes I've seen in video games, a worthy sequel to Half-Life 2. P.s. Mitchel pls come back from under the textures.

    According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

    This game is not as bad as it is said to be. Yes, she wasn't perfect, but she didn't deserve the hate she got. In my opinion, it is even better than the second part of Half Life.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Story is very mediocre and could be considered your average revenge story. I got this game for free knowing the plot and criticism. Same gameplay from any of the Half Life games, with some very confusing new mechanics like night vision or parkour, that need a dedicated weapon to be equipped instead of f or double jump. Pros are the cutscenes and maps. Actual effort was put in the animation and some of the maps look good, but they don't work for this kind of game. Too much wasted space, and the only thing to “do” is kill enemies and walk from point a to point b. Score starts from a 5 and I lower it or add points depending on pros and cons. For a mediocre game with some effort from the team, i give it a 6 and nothing else. I’m sure that i would feel scammed had I paid for this. Expand

    This game isn't really good.
    Voice acting:
    The voice acting for most scenes and gameplay is pretty decent, however, these devs thought it would be a good idea to ask YouTubers or other influencers to voice for their game. Gameplay: The gameplay itself isn't bad. It feels like a modern shooter, which is a good thing. The only big flaw here is that on Hard mode, you deal way to few

    Singleplayer:
    The singleplayer is probably the reason why this game isn't good. The story itself makes sense, but the execution of it went wrong. There are many assets stolen from other franchises and games, and there is a good amount of bugs.
    Cutscenes:
    The cutscenes are probably the best part of this game. They used source filmmaker. The cutscenes themselves look really good.
    Price:
    It's 8€. That is way too expensive for a mod like this. If this game would've been free, it would've got half the hate. This game isn't worth the money.

    Terrible game. After an amazing trailer, multiplayer delays, and a decent amount of hype, Hunt Down The Freeman is an awful experience. This is bad even by modding standards. Stolen assets, bad voice acting, bad pronunciation, embarrassing glitches, and terrible graphics. Hunt Down the Refund, indeed. Hopefully Royal Rudius can get back on their feet and make something good next time.Terrible game.

    The game has horrible voice acting, continued by bad map design and the worst thing is the AI.
    The characters are dumb and boring. Very stereotypical. It doesn't have the thing that made Half life great, i know that is an indie game but it's pretty bad.

The voice acting is terrible, the game is a bug fest, some NPCs are so broken that they can kill you from afar, the story writing feels like a cheap fan fiction written by some bored kids that have been watching a lot of Hollywood movies, the gunplay is terrible, the optimization is literally non-existent, the AI is broken and the game itself is inconsistent, everything feels out of place or odd.
    I honestly don't know how did this "game" end up on Steam, considering that this is a real mess and it's even worse than Prospekt with literally nothing good to mention about it.

    Have decided to replay the game and decided to improve the rating to a 1/10 (hooray.) The game still suffers from many issues regarding gameplay, story, voice acting and more.

The story makes little to no sense and would be an insult to even consider this as a fan story to either of the two Half-Life games. And of course the obvious jab of using YouTubers and Content Creators for the voice acting instead of... actual voice actors that dedicate their entire career to voice acting in things like video games.

    Overall, while there have been slight improvements, the game still suffers from almost all the issues it originally released with. Therefor why I still gave the game a terrible rating.

    -I will repeat it again, but character developpement-wise and story-wise, it is even worse than Coldsteel The Hedgehog.
    -An enormous amount of stupid bugs that should not have been there to begin with.
    -The game loves to crash.
    -To beat the game, you often need to use cheats.
    -Stupid enemy AI.

Unlike the Stanly Parable, another game that was just a mod but was made into a stand alone game, Hunt Down the Freeman didn't get any major changes, other than the voice acting done by YouTubers who are ment too play an american, even if they have a sodding British accent! The only good voice acter is who ever plays G-Man compared to the rest of the "actors" there an award-winning performer, and even they say some pretty cringy **** like the now infamous, Black Mess-ah line. All in all? Go play half life 2. This game looks like it but was made a decade after it.
