    То что отменили фарм кровавых облигаций после каждой катки - это позор. Это они не забыли сделать. Зато починить сервера они забыли, и решить проблему с читерами.

    Hunt Showdown is one of the most boring and ratting-enhancing games that I've ever played. Not to mention terrible networking code and randomization of mobs spawn and agro. If you want to waste your time and get **** by terrible game design feel free to put your money into this garbage bin

    Hunt Showdown RIP since release. Crytek doesn't deserve any coin invested into their work. Hope they all will be fired and will never have even a small chance to work in gamedev.

    No idea why this game has 7.3 coz since release and some patches it should be 0.5 User Score. Critics like always likes to lick some arses for money. No way i would recommend to buy this game.    … Expand

    They boys in Crytek totally lost the plot. They are adding Drone in a game themed in 1895. Absolute retardation. It seems they are adding some heavy chemicals in the US water nowadays because the average IQ there is dropping by the minute.

    - Monetisation model that inches closer and closer to a f2p game even though this game has a price tag and dlcs.
    - massively inflated in-game bloodbond economy and conveniently reduced bloodbonds payout "to encourage pvp" see where this is going?
    - 10 USD time-gated skin
    - 30 USD for past event skins
    - Undeniably grindy events to encourage mtx
    - Performance Issues and Server Issues during the event that conveniently disallows you to get the skins unless you literally "play" the game as a second job. Or, just pay 30 USD ;)
    - Literally same events, only change is how they try to charge you for things ripped from the progression bar.
    - 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.
    - shadow anti-player changes that no one asked for that suspiciously encourages spending bloodbonds.
    - UI is still a mess. Things aren't where they should.
    - reconnect feature is wonky at best. makes you wait for 20mins and reconnection isn't even guaranteed.

    If the structure of this review is **** just know that so is the game.
    Core gameplay is like no other. But the game is becoming another mtx **** real fast.

    TL;DR hunt showdown is in its worst state since release and Crytek is pushing microtransactions in expense of the players.    … Expand

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.

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.

    Better luck next time.    … 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. DO NOT BE FALLED BY PROMOTIONS.… Expand

    - Incredible models, costumes, skins

    Lascio a seguire la vecchia recensione non modificata, specifico solo che ora le prime 3 parole diventano 2: "Gioco pessimo, ..."

    Gioco molto valido, ma infestato da russi/est europa. Lagswitcher a palla, cheating a livelli squallidi, svariati bug, pessimo team di sviluppo, prezzo esagerato, la notte e' completamente ingiocabile causa una pessima via di mezzo tra "notte illuminata" e "non si vede un ♥♥♥♥♥"... sarebbe meglio avere una notte completamente nera, dove si usano laterne etc.

    In parole povere un FPS che rasenta il capolavoro, ma per colpa di un team di sviluppo indiceso e che prende pessime decisioni e una discreta (enorme, IMMENSA) quantita' di cheaters, lagswitcher o problemi vari di hitbox (verso player e non) raggiunge sempre piu' uno stato di totale ingiocabilita'.

    A mio parere basterebbe un filtro per "ping" o simili, e una rinnovata/aggiornata/cambiata al sistema anti cheat (o in caso una KILLCAM e un maggior numero di persone al reparto "assitenza/segnalazioni"), e qualche contenuto extra (MAGARI NON SQUALLIDE ED INUTILI SKIN) e tornerebbe ad essere il gioco affascinante che era quando lo acquistai ormai 2 anni fa.    … Expand

    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.

    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

    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!"
