    My favorite Shooter over the last years.
    Before getting the game I was very skeptical as it is not my facorite setting (old weapons, zombies, etc), but I came out to be my favorite shooter.
    Great game! Great community

    The stakes are high, the fights are tactical and the sound design is one of the best I've ever heard in a game - 8/10

    Playing this game about two years and it still did not get bored. It has some bugs from time to time, but the game mechanic and audio is amazing. It is one of the best games so far.

    Best gun play on FPS, it's not easy, you have to LEARN!
    The atmosphere, guns, skins, everything is beautiful
    Game is optimized

    The best experience of the game is that you remember almost each fight. I remember I felt something like that in DayZ. Also, there is very interesting interaction between systems, PvPvE is also great. Recommend!

    Comment être objectif quand pour moi ce jeu frise la perfection ?
    Il y a certes certains bugs, encore peu de contenu, quelques trucs manquant, mais il n'en reste pas moins que c'est mon FPS PVP préféré et de loin

    Hunt: Showdown ist eines der besten Shooter Games Allerzeiten! Ja, es hat seine Ecken und Kanten, aber welches Game hat das nicht? Die grafische Performance ist Top, das Game sieht auch noch verdammt gut aus (vor allem Nachts).Die Bosse und Zombies sind schön gestaltet.
    Die Server sind leider zur Zeit etwas zu laggy, aber im großen und ganzen kann man nicht meckern.

    Die Server sind leider zur Zeit etwas zu laggy, aber im großen und ganzen kann man nicht meckern.
    Ich finde das Gunplay mega. Man muss einfach aufpassen wo man läuft, was man schlägt oder zerstört. Hier wird ein gutes Stereo Headset einfach vorausgesetzt. Das Audio Mapping ist der Hammer. Man kann jedes Geräusch identifizieren was es ist und wo es auch herkommt.
    Thema Cheater: Ja es gibt Cheats und Hacks für das Spiel aber Erfahrungsgemäß begegnet man nur sehr wenigen Cheatern.
    Das Game macht zu zweit oder dritt am meisten Spaß. Aber auch alleine gegen Trios ist es durchaus spielbar und man muss sich nun mal darauf einstellen. Ich gehe als Solo z.B. nie auf den Boss, sondern nur auf Spieler.
    Dieses Spiel ist mit keinem anderen vergleichbar. Und jeder der hier andere Shooter als Vergleich nimmt, ist fehl am Platz.    … Expand

    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.

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. Wir sehen uns im Bayou.… Expand

    What is great about hunt?
    -graphics
    -artstyle/overall design
    -sounds
    -gunplay
    -general gameplay
    -developers transparency

    What is neutral?
    -some people seem to have server issues but I never ran into that
    -overall the community is quite polite but oc there are black sheeps

    What is bad?
    -sometimes there are game changing bugs

    Why I stopped playing? Because after 2000h it just isn´t that compelling anymore. I´m also not particular a fan of the events and when I am such invested in a game, I develop an urge to unlock everything and have every single Item. But sometimes I just want to play some other games or need to learn for college or something like that. But recently the developers just released to much content and I just can´t keep up if I don´t want to invest more real money.
    But I can recommend everyone to try this game. Only Problem is you need something in the neighbourhood of 10h to know if Hunt is the game for you. But on Steam you only can return it within the first 2h. So you should have enough money to not worry about investing 25€ in something you don´t like.    … Expand

    Das wohl anspruchsvollste und beste Shooter Game allerzeiten.

    Wer sich drauf einlässt und seinen Frust runterschlucken kann, der hat den größten Spaß seiner Spieler Karriere. Die Spannung die ständig herrscht ist unglaublich und wenn man die Pocke mit nachhause nimmt, nachdem man unter Blut, Schweiß und Tränen, seine Gegenspieler ausgeschaltet hat, ist einfach nur ein einziger Rausch.

    A breath of fresh air in the fps genre is what hunt showdown truly is. Unique gunplay, unique worldbuilding, unique monster designs. Everything is unique and novel. This game gets your adrenaline pumping like no other and that is why I keep coming back. If you are tired of generic fps games and want to try something new and challenging, this is the game for you.

    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.

    Great team shooter with a unique and fresh setting. The game has its flaws but overall the feeling of landing a shot and getting the kill is very rewarding. I love the guns and the hunters and really dont mind buying cosmetics to help support the devs. Best played in teams of two or three but solo players can still have fun too. Just be prepared the learning curve is harsh and you WILL die.

There are plenty of games that require a little patience and a little urgency in varying doses however I can not think of another that requires maximum patience and maximum urgency at a moments notice. Developers are responsive and pump out a lot of events and mechanical tweaks very regularly. This game just has an amazing amount of soul and care put into it, something missing in most modern games. 11/10 if anyone takes a few hours to familiarize yourself with all of the mechanics and the flow of matches I guarantee you will have a blast.… Expand

    Hunt is the best FPS by far as a successor for any multiplayer FPS you played before 2019, when it was released. Minus 1 point for bugs and QoL changes which the devs aren't implementing. They are focusing on skins instead of the real problems. Also the UI is not optimized for PC and they program one thing for all devices, which in some ways sucks.

    O multiplayer do jogo é excelente e inovador. É muito gratificante quando se alcança a vitória, seja ela solo ou em equipe. O ambinete do jogo é muito imersivo. Fico devendo a nota máxima por falta de um recurso chamado passe de batalha. Acho que falta isso pra o game não ficar tão repetitivo.

    Tip: Before purchasing, keep in mind that this game is difficult, like playing DarkSouls for the first time, it takes time to get used to the mechanics. Do not give up!

    Sound: 10/10 Simply jaw-dropping ambiance. *Consider owning a good headset*. You can literally hear the breathing, footsteps, weapons switching of other nearby players.

    Graphics: 10/10
    Stunning! *To get the most out of this game's graphics and keep the minimum of 60fps or more is not for any potato PC*

    Aiming: 9/10
    Absurdly close to the real world, get used to it, it takes time.

    Servers: 8/10
    The devs implemented the reconnect option yesterday 11/18/2021, otherwise my grade would be 10/6 "Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe ****

    The development team maintains a good range of updates and events, all with substantial changes and good surprises, often takes too long, in my opinion they should expand their staff to improve this aspect.

    Another thing to work on would be the implementation of a training mode more geared towards new players. Several times I hear/read comments from people reporting that they gave up playing early, because they were too frustrated for not being able to stay alive enough to get used to it.

    Again, this game is tough, and the player base has a lot of veterans (from 3 to 6 stars) with lots of hours of play, expect to get shot where you least expect it.

    Do yourself a favor and buy this game and persevere. Git Gud!    … 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!"
