    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.

    Battle Royale with a useless time filler in the form of zombies that idle around. Players who play more have better equipment which causes huge balance issues.

Yes it might be fun for the first 40 hours, but then the veil drops. And you see the horrible corpse underneath. Bugs are everywhere, the netcode is some of the worst ever, it reminds me of PUBG's early netcode. I have multiple instances of streaming this game, shooting someone directly in the chest at 40 meters, and the game not registering it. You will get angry with this game. It lures you in with "oh its a hardcore fps" but no, it's just **** broken. You WILL get clipped through objects, and when asked veteran players "Oh yea welcome to hunt". They also tried to lure in people with one of their selling points being "graphics" since its using the crytek engine. Well, they downgraded that quickly. So now the game just looks like **** The nights are more like "slightly dark" than they actually showed. When a game was looking better in the alpha than in the official release. You know something is wrong. To sum up why you should'nt give these ****heads your money. They dont fix bugs, they only add skins instead of new content like they keep promising. They have bad cheater problem. You get NOTHING for 40 euro. And there are multiple audio and visual bugs.… 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

    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

    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!"
