    This game you play as if in Prey, Dishonored or Deus Ex. But it's online! You can always choose how to solve a particular problem, a huge variety and it's cool!

    Very atmospheric game, good shooting and setting, would be solo mode against mobs or survival would be nice.

    Hunt Showdown, simply put, is the most original multiplayer shooter I’ve played this decade. And it’s fun. Really really fun.

Performance is great on my 1070, 60 FPS locked at high settings. Server issues only effected me one day out of 100 hrs so far, just some disconnects (Cryteks working on it). If you are looking for an online shooter that retains the tension of survival horror, and rewards careful tactical play (not just “run around and shoot good”) then I can’t recommend Hunt enough. It gives me frequent panic attacks but that’s why I love it ;)… Expand

    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.

    This game is amazing. The shooting is on par with the best games out there. The atmosphere is top-notch. The game rewards skill without being impossible for new players to get into. Picked it up on sale for $20 and I haven't put it down for two weeks straight. I've dumped about 60 hours in and can't wait for more.

    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

    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.

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.

    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

    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.

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

    This game mixes FPS with Roguelike, Horrorlike, PVP, PVE. It pushes your strategy and observation skills to the limit.

    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.

Developers are responsive and pump out a lot of events and mechanical tweaks very regularly.

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

    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.

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

Like, in Fortnite you can move items in inventory around into specific slots and give bullets to team mates, but this isn’t possible in Hunt yet. It’s a small detail and probably doesn’t warrant deducting a whole point but I can’t score it a 10 because of it and there is no 9.9 option.

    I bought this game because my friends encouraged me to do so. At first I thought it was a battle royale that was made to cash in on trends that were current in that period of time.

At first I thought it was a battle royale that was made to cash in on trends that were current in that period of time. I couldn't be more wrong. It's so much more. The game is unique in every way. 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

    It is a great game. One of the most interesting and best designed shooter out there. Every single hour of playing was fun.

    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

    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

    This game is for me, the best online fps I played in 2019/2020.

    Hunt Showdown is amazingly well balanced in each part of the gameplay (the sounds, the maps advantages, the time to kill and the time to death....)

    The only problems I got with this game is the INCREDIBLE amount of cheaters in there and the fact that you have no killcam or any equivalence.

    Let's start with what this game does good:
    The game packs a huge boost of adrenaline and anxiety into your body, the sound design, the atmosphere is all built in order to create a very horror-like situation.
    The weapons and characters look very nice and same goes with the skins, the enemies are various and each of them require a particular strategy to get around them. So..great    Let's start with what this game does good:

    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.

    To me this would be a 5/10 but since the developpers seems to actually care about some of its problems i assign it a 6/10.    … Expand

    Ein sehr anspruchsvolles Online Game. Die Spielweise kann mit der Zeit perfektioniert werden. Das fundamentale Audiodesign sorgt für eine gewisse Langzeitmotivation. Jedoch beschränkt sich das Spiel auf einen einzigen Spielmodus und das Waffengameplay ist verbesserungswürdig (6/10).

В HUNT: SHOWDOWN знатная система вознаграждений и антураж на 5 звёзд. Вот только из-за описанной мною проблемы выше и скудного наполнения ввиду раннего доступа получать каЭф от охоты за артефактами и не только - весьма сомнительное развлечение.    … Expand

    This game really didn't click for me. I understood that the game was partly PVP and partly PVE but has a matter of fact most of the monsters in level are really easy to take down except the main boss that in 10 matches I didn't see at all because other players already killed before me, so at the very end this game is a pure PVP experience, also the main menu is bloated with lot of optionsThis game really didn't click for me.

    Boring sterile multiplayer-oriented game that gets repetitive fast. The game lacks a good single player campaign. It's lifeless obviously made as an e-sport. The gameplay is so clunky already bored with it

    Hunt: Showdown has a level of complexity that surpasses many other titles, allowing it to excel in areas such as tactics and gunplay.

    A great cooperative shooter that lacks only in matchmaking balance and its slow pace. [Issue#302]

    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!"
