    The gunplay is frustrating. I've been playing FPS games for a quarter of a century, and the gunplay is just crap. This is aggravated by the fact that there's no practice mode, permadeath is enforced, and you will be paired against max-level players regardless of your skill.

    Oh, and want to solo? You'll be put in a match against teams. 0/10 rating for unforgivably frustrating gameplay    The gunplay is frustrating.

    Tja was soll man über Hunt: Showdown schon sagen? Etwa dass die Kämpfe brutal und erbarmungslos sind? Oder die Lernkurve zwischen X- und Y-Achse ein fast gerader Strich nach oben ist? Sicherlich ein bisschen von beidem. Entscheidend aber ist, dass Hunt: Showdown ein über alle Maßen atmosphärisches Spiel ist... zumindest wenn man es mit einem entsprechenden Headset spielt. Dann aber wirdTja was soll man über Hunt: Showdown schon sagen? Etwa dass die Kämpfe brutal und erbarmungslos sind? Oder die Lernkurve zwischen X- und Y-Achse ein fast gerader Strich nach oben ist? Sicherlich ein bisschen von beidem. Entscheidend aber ist, dass Hunt: Showdown ein über alle Maßen atmosphärisches Spiel ist... zumindest wenn man es mit einem entsprechenden Headset spielt. Dann aber wird Hunt zu einem audiovisuellen Meisterwerk und man könnte es fast soweit treiben, das Spiel ohne hinzusehen zu spielen, da es sich so viel über den Ton gibt. Davon würde ich aber aufgrund dessen abraten, da man durchaus sehr präzise, teils auf große Distanzen schießen muss. Die Grafik ist bestimmt kein Meilenstein wie einst Crysis, kann aber mit entsprechende Hardware trotzdem gut aussehen und dabei angemessene Frames auf den Bildschirm zaubern. Das Spiel lässt sicher aber auch problemlos auf älterer Hardware spielen, da es nicht besonders hohe Systemleistungen erfordert. Klar gibt es aktuell mit nur drei spielbaren Karten nicht die riesem Auswahl wie bei einem COD oder anderen Shooterkonkurrenten. Das braucht das Spiel aber auch nicht, da jedes Match von Grund auf anders abläuft und so viel Spannung herrscht, dass die Maps fast zur Nebensache verkommen. Auch die vier Bosse die es zu jagen gilt, sind alle unterschiedlich designed und haben verschieden Fähigkeiten und erfordern verschiedene Herangehensweisen. Vorteilhaft ist es aber, wenn man sich stets leise verhält. Denn ein zu lautes Auftreten kann einem raschen imgame Tod zur Folge haben. Und eure Jäger, einmal getötet, bleiben Tod und ihr müsst von vorne anfangen. Die ist besonders ärgerlich da man mit jedem Jägerstufenaufstieg verschieden Sonderfähigkeiten freischaltet, die euren Jäger noch effizienter machen. So kann dieser z.B. aus einem Medipack mehr Heilung herausziehen oder mit einem sogenannten Hahnspannrevolver schneller schießen. Diese Fähigkeiten werden nach und nach in eurem Arsenal freigeschaltet. Startet ihr mit eurem Profil zunächst auf Level 1, habt ihr bis Level 11 eine Schonfrist und eure Jäger (die unabhängig davon bis Level 50 aufsteigen können) leiden nicht unter dem berüchtigtem Dauertod. Danach allerdings schon. So steigt ihr also bis Level 100 auf und schaltet dabei allerhand neue Fähigkeiten, Waffen und Ausrüstungsgegenstände wie Dynamit, Gegengiftspritzen oder Stolperfallen frei. Diese Tools richtig eingesetzt, können euren Jägeralltag aber auch etwas angenehmer machen. Zuletzt noch ein Wort zum Support des Spiels. Hier werden von Crytek regelmäßig sogenannte Mini DLC's releases. Diese beinhalten meistens einen legendären Jäger und alternative Waffenskins. Alles also vernachlässigbar und rein kosmetischer Natur. Die Highlites hingegen sind die großen Events, bei denen man ebenfalls legendäre Jäger und Waffenskins freischalten kann, ohne dabei echtes Geld ausgeben zu müssen. Das Fortschrittssystem ist dabei fair und auch in der vorgegebenen Zeit sollte es auch jeder Durchschnittsspieler schaffen, entsprechend weit zu kommen. Abschließend bleibt also nur noch zu sagen, dass mir das Spiel auch nach 500 Spielstunden noch großen Spaß bereitet und jeder Abschuss ein sehr befriedigendes Gefühl verbreitet. Auf neue Maps und Bosse muss man zwar zu weilen lange warten, aber dafür sind diese dann auch sehr durchdacht und bringen ihre ganz eigenen kleinen Mechaniken und Feinheiten mit.

    This game can offer such atmosphere and excitement, which no other game can. It is a very unique take on fps / battle royale genre with a slower pace. Weapon mechanics are trying to be very close to realism and after you get used to it (which takes a short while), it brings much joy to shoot with the weapons. The game objective can offer many unique encounters with enemy players.

    The negative side is the not so huge player base but with many veteran players (I play it pretty often and there are many players with 5-10x of playtime). It can get frustrating, if you get one-shotted multiple times from very far away. There could also content updates more often.

    I play in EU and have close to zero server / game problems. There are some bugs, but none game-breaking. Also I don't think I have encountered many cheaters, just very good players.    … Expand

    As much as Hunt: Showdown gives the impression to be a zombie survival shooter, in reality, it is the true western game.

It takes place in the late 19th century Louisiana and you start as a hunter in a map filled with zombies, bosses (PVE) and numerous other hunters (PVP). You earn hunt dollars and blood bonds with your kills which you can then spend to acquire traits or buy weapons, consumables and skins. Your profile levels up separately from your hunter. Leveling up your hunter will let you equip more traits useful for your survival and when you die, you will lose your hunter, as well as any weapons or consumables in your inventory. Leveling up your profile, on the other hand, lets you “unlock” those traits which you can equip your hunters with. Death does not affect your profile level. This is a good balance in the sense that death does have serious consequences, but not to the point that it’s extremely frustrating. Picking up a new hunter (which you will keep doing) and leveling up is always fun and offers a new challenge.

    When you kill a boss, you will extract a “bounty”, which will also let you see the nearby hunters when using “dark sight”. This gives a huge advantage for besting other hunters, as it is not easy to spot careful hunters. One of the main strengths of Hunt: Showdown is this. It’s not a game about aiming well. In fact, aiming in this game is quite poor when you compare to other multiplayer shooters. It’s about observation, predicting other hunters’ next steps and preparing for them. And when you manage to learn the game enough to kill a hunter by outsmarting them (not a random kill), it feels so satisfying.

    Some words about the sound design. This could be the best video game ever made in that aspect. First, you make sounds by stepping on a branch, walking close to an animal, by pretty much everything unless you make extra effort to be silent. When you make a sound, you attract other hunters to your location. This also means you have to pay attention and listen, use other hunters’ carelessness to your advantage. That said, there is always the chance a hunter is trying to attract you to her/his location as part of a strategy. Oh well…

    There are some weak points about Hunt: Showdown. As discussed earlier, aiming is not so good. There are only a couple of maps. Also, the game is not good at presentation. For a game with such deep mechanics, it does not do a good job educating a new player. I can imagine many players giving up without ever learning all the game mechanics. But if you give it time, learn the game to the point you start outsmarting other hunters, it will give you immense satisfaction.

    Hunt: Showdown is not perfect, but when it clicks, there is nothing quite like it.

    Best multiplayer game out as of now. I highly recommend. The audio is the best in any game and that makes it way more tactical always questioning if someone heard that you scared a crow or shot a gun or even stepped on a tree branch.

For the graphics it is astonishing how good this game looks for an indie game it’s genuinely breathtaking. Compared to big games like apex legends or war zone they pale in comparison to the amount of content a small team can put out in the same timespan as apex they have put out just as many maps in the last six months we have had multiple major events like a new boss a new map and custom ammo. The gunplay is spot on it doesn’t feel unrealistically tight like call of duty the guns feel more like escape from tarkov or insurgency sandstorm. In my 300 hours I have only encountered 0 crashes 3 disconnects and 0 game breaking bugs (or really any bugs in general) pleas do yourself a favor and get this game. The only negative I can really think of is that it is hard… like really really hard. But if you can get through the first couple of hours and understand the game mechanics you will not be disappointed .… Expand

While you can say it's a battle royale and the game has a quickplay mode which was clearly inspired by that genre everything is diffrent than in other BR games. The portrayal of late XIX century Louisiana is amazing and very indepth. Every aspect of the game relies around sound. And you can make a point that a lot of game do that. But not on that scale. Everything in the game makes unique sound. Everything is balanced around your ability to hear. The time period is another thing which makes the game stand out because how many comepetetive and serious FPSes set in the wild west era do you have on market? Not a lot if any at all. The game feels balanced and about 90% of the time you'll feel that the only thing which matters are your actual abilites rather than your or your opponent's loadout. The sci-fi implemented into the game introduces PvE mechanics which make gameplay more interesting and give players objective to fight over rather than just surviving till being the last one alive. The differs so much from other BR games and feels like it had a lot of thought put into it rather than just copy pasting the trends from the past. It's really worth giving it a shot but game itself is 30 euro so I'd rather wait for than paying full price for it. There are DLCs but they're purely cosmetics which don't have any advantage in game. And my only con is that the game can get repetetive after a couple hundred hours but devs are keep on working on the game polishing it to the best of their abilities and adding new features usually in huge content drop updates formula.… Expand

ITS 2020. ALL GAMES SHOULD RUN AT 60FPS. The load times are insane. Even on SSD it takes at least 60 seconds to get to the menu. Between that and the crashing, have fun staring at a loading screen. Might as well play another game while you're waiting for this one to load. The point of playing PC is because you CAN play budget builds and because they are superior in every ways to console.

    second...be prepared to aim your crosshairs at a target, fire, and have it not do anything. it will happen to you ALL THE TIME. and meanwhile, your opponents will ALWAYS get headshots, one shot, the first shot, and you will have no chance to respond. Your opponents will NEVER miss even when you have superior positioning, even when you take initiative, even when you take your time to line up your shots, your opponents will ALWAYS turn (without REALLY knowing where you are) and kill you instantly, even though you carefully setup the scenario by making superior plays to your opponents

    If the actual aiming and firing part wasn't bad enough, your opponents will kill you through solid brick walls and these boxes that are not "penatrable" and other surfaces that bullets cannot penetrate in real life, so hiding in cover or concealment will never work. nice job crytek.

    third...the worst matchmaking ever. as a new player, expect to go up against 3.0 kd tryhards that team up and play together regularly. and as a random match, if you are a 3.0 kd, hardmode on. you will ONLY have level 0 noobs on your team and you will only go up against the same type of before-mentioned scenario.

    crytek, this is the first game i have tried of yours. needless to say, i will never be purchasing one of your products ever again. consistency is what i look for, and this game feels so rough around the edges like you ran out of budget. i have so many videos of just WTF from this garbage game, that you have solidified in me the idea that i will never purchase another product from you ever again.    … Expand

    Hello! Do you like lazy devs who fix less bugs than they create skins!? WONDERFULL! Do you also like **** servers with no region lock? Or how about rubberbanding and being teleported trough walls and floors?? GREAT! Then this total trainwreck who was better in alpha is for you. Congrats! You have no taste in videogames and should probably off yourself.

    I have 2k hours in this game. The only pluses in it are the atmosphere, graphics, sounds (the best) and weapons. Everything else is cons.

    Bugs are everywhere. One bug is fixed, 2 new ones appear. Some bugs are so ridiculous that it's just ridiculous. Normal devs fix such bugs in a couple of days. These idiots need 2-3 months. It's just a shame, a real shame. It's like little children    I have 2k hours in this game. The only pluses in it are the atmosphere, graphics, sounds (the best) and weapons. Everything else is cons.

    Bugs are everywhere. One bug is fixed, 2 new ones appear. Some bugs are so ridiculous that it's just ridiculous. Normal devs fix such bugs in a couple of days. These idiots need 2-3 months.
    It's just a shame, a real shame. It's like little children are trying to assemble a tower crane in a sandbox.
    A very good example is a grenade that was broken and everyone knew it. Normal devs would just temporarily remove the grenade from the game until they are repaired. Devs of this game haven't done anything for half a year, maybe more. They didn't care about the complaints of the players and the fact that it causes inconvenience. This is a very good example of how they feel about their community. They don't care about anything but money. They are greedy, stupid, self-righteous people.
    Some bugs cannot be fixed for several months. I can talk about bugs for a very long time ...

    Cheaters with whom no one does anything. I have several videos of real cheaters with wall hack and aim. I recorded video in surveillance mode and sent the video to the site with all the data. I have saved links to the steam profiles of these cheaters. 2 months have passed and these players have not been banned. They don't care about cheaters, they don't solve this problem. They can say anything about how many cheaters they banned, but these are their words. My observations indicate that they do not ban anyone who has private cheats, even if there is video evidence.

    0 content. 3 bosses, 2 maps, and a bunch of paid DLCs. This game will quickly get boring for those who want novelty. Almost nothing changes here, and all the patches make so few changes that it's just ridiculous. A good example is how Rust or Apex works on content in a game. What happens in this game is a shame.

    There is no matchmaking. Prepare for the fact that with your K / D 0.95 people with K / D 4.5 and 56 prestige and above will play against you

    Awful damage registration. Worst I've ever seen. And in this game, the hit is very important.

    No reconnect (although devs claimed that they did it. Another lie and an indicator that they cannot handle the code)

    This game's engine and networking code is just garbage. It's a shame. You will constantly get stuck somewhere, fall from stairs, from the edge of the roof, cling to each other if you are running alongside, and much more. To face this, you need to play for more than 10 hours so that you can see what is really happening.
    There are very bad servers here. I think the servers are the cheapest. It is impossible to play with high online, damage registration becomes even worse, ping grows, and so on.

    The best example is how Summit1G played this game. This game pissed him off with its countless flaws and he deleted it right on stream. And this game will enrage you. Don't buy it and don't buy DLC. Just ask yourself: which normal and popular streamer plays this game?

    This game is about spam and about campers. All. You have a bolt with 149 damage, and you are spammed with dolch, with 110 damage ... Idiocy. Rave. Only an idiot could think of that. The meta weapon is a real delirium.
    The community of this game is terrible. It is very vicious and toxic, trying to deceive you, kill you in the back or from a bush, or through a small crack. Here people are obsessed with their K / D as if they are going to show their K / D on a date. There are a lot of cowards who are afraid to leave the building. You can wait 40 minutes until someone leaves the building. It happens all the time. Do not expect long, honest open firefights. Headshot through the wall. Headshot through the slot. Headshot from a sniper. And meet me in the lobby ... This is one of the worst things in the game. And devs don't do any mechanics to fix the camper problem.

    In fact, I can endlessly discuss the cons of this game, I can write 10k characters and 20k and 30k characters, but who will read this? ..

    In this game, devs are real idiots. These are very stupid people and I hate them for their attitude towards this game ... This game has huge potential, and I love its atmosphere, but stupid devs with their stupid decisions made this game a real trash heap, which I deleted and will no longer be in it is to play and I will not advise anyone. This game could have been made sweet if it had not been for idiots but for good devs.

    Naturally, I put 0 out of 10, because this game is rubbish in almost every sense. On patch 0.6 I would give it a 7 out of 10, but over time this game only gets worse. And only devs are to blame for this. Everything here is terrible, and no one does anything about it, but they are trying to suck money out of you with their new DLCs. In Apex, dozens of skins are added for free every season, and these greedy moneybags make an event for one skin and make it paid. It's a shame.    … Expand

    There have been some small technical issues, one 'freeze' of the game requiring sign out of windows, and FPS is about 45 with my 1070. Given the slower pace of combat, this is not really a problem, and a fair tradeoff given how beautiful the environments are. Given the bargain price of $30 during Early Access, I'm willing to accept some roughness.

They are slowly, and i mean slowly, adding in new content but ever one thing they add in that makes sense they add in 10 others that break the game or mess with the meta so much we now just have people running around like they're playing COD spamming dual pistols from 30m away just hoping they get a lucky headshot. Shotguns and snipers are also ridiculous.

    Shotguns, when firing at you, even if they miss cause the player on the relieving end to flinch, so that you (likely the better player actually trying to aim your rifle or pistol) can no longer aim as some noob shotgun spams you....putting reticules on fast firing, accurate weapons is also dumb. The skill of lining up iron sights at 100m or more is now being overshon by noobs spamming a deadeye pistol until they get a lucky headshot.

    Teamming is also a HUGE deal on Australia servers, the amount of times i've spectated players after being ganged up on both on quickplay and duos is disgusting, and this toxic behaviour isn't monitoring or discourgaed, in fact it's encouraged. It's game breaking and these players should be banned.

    The stuttering in the game is breaking it beyond belief too. I get 100 frames and 50 ping yet randomly i get stutters for 10mins at a time. This can even happen during fights and obviously, to a massive determent. I know this stuttering is very common to all players and i understand it's a server issue. It's really bad form on the devs part.

    It's a shame because the game has so much potential but it won't last long and all there will be are hardcore fans playing it until a better developer does the concept much better.

    I'm very confused by the negative reviews since I don't find them to match reality at all. One said there's no practice mode, there is, it's literally called training mode. Along with tons of single-player challenges that help sharpen your skills.

    The same reviewer said you'll be matched with max-level players. Not true. I've never seen one max-level player. There's a robust elo rating system that matches you with players that have the same skill level and I find it works well.

    A reviewer said if you choose to play solo you're only matched against teams. Again, not true. There's a quickplay mode where EVERYONE is solo. It's frustrating seeing reviews from people that play one match of one of the best games I've ever played and give it a ZERO OUT OF TEN. I think it speaks to their intelligence.

    This game is great. If you find battle royal, western, and atmospheric games give this a try, I promise you won't regret it. I was skeptical at first but "Skillup" on YouTube had an excellent review on the game so I decided to give it a shot. Boy am I ever glad I did.    … Expand

    - 30 USD for past event skins

    - meridian turncoat dlc is a farce. The hunter from the traitor's moon event trailer seems to be ripped from the game and repackaged into a new dlc.
    The dlc is priced for 4 skins:
    - the alleged event free hunter
    - a pair of dolches that is only marginally different
    - and the only unique ammo box skin
    - Asia servers are disgustingly crowded in the evening when everyone is expected to come online. constant red package loss, high ping, getting disconnected every 3 minutes and 3~8 secs hit reg delay is the norm.
    - No compensation for wasted event boosters, paid or not even though you literally cannot play the game due to server down/full as it ticks down whether you are in game or not.
    - For their convenience, forces pc-console parity. Meta AoE weapons in console unfairly nerfed in pc
    - conveniently forces unready patch to go live despite player feedback.

    - reconnect feature is wonky at best. makes you wait for 20mins and reconnection isn't even guaranteed.

Also note that from rank 20 you will be placed with high ranked players, and it would be a bit hard (at least for me), but you will get the hang of it in no time :).

    HUNT: SHOWDOWN is a western-style FPS PvP game with elements of PvE. Audio is very important in this game, which is refreshing, and adds a creative flavor to this game that makes it stand out in a sea of monotony. Gameplay and mechanics are solid. Gameplay is often slower-paced, but speckled with moments of high intensity and adrenaline.

And if you get disconnected you likely loose your character with everything he has. Moreover the game has no full in-game voice chat, only a local voice and text chat that everyone, including your enemies, can hear. It's a bit weird. The developers did it deliberately to force people to join the Official Discord where you can easily find people to play with without the disadvantageous in-game chat. And a proper communication is crucial for tactical FPS. Unluckily I got permanently banned there (I'm not gonna lie, I got it for a legitimate reason but nothing that was worth a permaban IMHO) And once you lose access to the Official Discord you're not able to find teammates you can properly communicate with. The game is already are not very friendly for new players and doesn't have a huge player base, so I don't know what all those complications for.… Expand

    HIGH RISK, HIGH REWARD, they say in the description. And its true. The game is so intense, you sweat and freeze while your trying to get the bounty from the boss, or other people. I like the choice of year, the end of the 1800's. The game is best with friends.

    Hunt showdown is not your typical Shooter/Battle royale, since it takes a completely different approach to Pubg/Apex etc.
    In the main mode "bounty hunt", you do not pick up weapons from the map, but instead buy them beforehand for ingame-Dollars. Also, your character is not generic, but each one has a certain name, you can level him/her up and spec according to your wishes.

    But dont get too attached! Whenever your character dies to either PVE Monsters or PVP Players (and does not get revived by a teammate) he is lost forever together with all the equipment you spent your hard cash on.
    This is what makes this game so exciting. Every step could be the last one for your poor avatar.
    Although Hunt might have its edges and might not feel as smooth as Apex, for example, the emotions you feel after failure or success both are much stronger.
    Still, the best part of this game is definitely the audio. Never before have I been able to pinpoint the three-dimensional position of enemies as accurately as in this game. You not only can distinguish when your enemy steps on wood, mud or stone, but you even can determine his weaponry just by listening to the reload sound he makes behind cover. Every gun and every monster has its specific sounds that can be distinguished after only a few rounds. I wish every game would celebrate good audio as much as Hunt!
    There were some big issues with server stability and bugs after the last patch, but at least for me these issues have been resolved and now the game runs fine and the FPS is also quite ok, considering that it looks just beautiful. It runs at 65-90 fps with most settings on max on 1440p with my i5 9600k @ 4,7 Ghz + RTX2070 non-super.

    In summary, this is the best game of 2019 so far for me. It is definitely worth the 40-50€ and a must buy if you favour tactical / teambased play over fast-paced gameplay.
    I hope that the playerbase grows (afaik numbers went down after the last patch fiasko), so please buy this game!
    And to the developers: Awesome game! Please add more content in the near future to attract new players and keep the old ones! (However, ensure that your patches run fine before releasing it!)    … Expand

The biggest problem is disconnecting from the server. It happens randomly but very often. Disconnecting from a session during an exciting game and the inability to reconnect causes anger, regret, embarrassment, pissing off and a whole range of negative emotions. We are in the twenty-first century and this game does not have a reconnection system. Matches are long and such a disconnection may occur after 50 minutes of the game when we run away with the bounty. this is terribly irritating. I waited a long time to write this review, hoping for some improvement from the developers of the game. I was hoping that they might eventually fix this error. Players have been reporting this problem for a long time. Lately, I have the feeling that it has gotten worse because I have unwanted disconnects practically every day. The result is that I lose more hunters through this disconnection with the server than by dying by the hand of another player. I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND AND ADVISE EVERYONE.

The atmosphere is a typical horror game, but differing from most you never get to the point in which zombies are simply cannon fodder for overpowered weapons and skills. You need a lot of planning to progress properly through the levels. There are a few points I found most to my liking, for one you don't need to finish objectives to extract, which makes perfect sense, seeing as the game has permadeath and you need to get a new character every time one of your roster dies. Secondly the sound of the game is so spot on I actually suspect that this is a game built around the amazing sound engine rather than the other way around. Camping is not an option as you literally will get nowhere if that's what you decide to do. You may sneak in a few kills but generally you won't progress faster than if you actually play the game as intended. Every encounter with other players is adrenaline inducing (except for the few cases in which you will get headshotted before you even notice anyone). That being said, the game doesn't come without a few short comings. What I didn't like was the lack of variety of maps/bosses, which may be fixed later on. Game has come a long way optimization wise, but it still has a fairly long way to go. Gun handling is not the best, but I can't point that out as a con, seeing as it is intended due to the age of the guns, that being said they made a great job of balancing all the guns in the game. Overall it is a very niche game but a must play to any mature FPS gamer!… Expand

    So..great graphics, great sound, great shooting what could be wrong in such a title.
    Well, first off the matchmaking isn't exactly fair and square, you'll be often teamed against very strong players that will surely destroy you in a blink, secondly you could be teamed against cheaters and those are not very common but also not very rare.
    Another huge problem is connectivity and hit scans, you will sometimes die because of lag or server crash and sometimes your shot won't even land and hit properly.
    Not to mention the lack of new content as in new maps and new bosses.
    I like the game but i wouldn't really recommend it to anyone, however this game definetly needs some more players to actually fix the matchmaking issues.

    Hunt: Showdown is a great blend of battle royale and survival horror; one that is an enjoyable, but also unbelievably tense, and merciless gaming experience. Apart from being quite rough around the edges, its unrelenting nature (courtesy of its surprisingly cruel permadeath mechanic), and almost awful matchmaking logic, make this a game for only a few - a few who must put hundreds of work on it, if they don't won't to spend most of their time staring at the words "You're Dead!"
