    Buena idea, buena ambientación da como resultado un juego como mucha personalidad y diferente a lo que hay en el mercado en la actualidad.
    Aún así cabe destacar el mal rendimiento que sufre en pc desde la salida oficial al mercado, espero que se solucione pronto.

    Must be played with friends. Matchmaking is a disaster and you'll most likely be dropped from some pro trying to match with someone a descent level. The gameplay is beautiful but tends to be a bit repetitive. There could easily be more monsters added to this long-running game.

    I understand that the game is probably heavy for the PS4, but overall I'm happy. Playing with a friend is very nice, though the downloads are very long. Please make the control in the menu on the arrows because the control of the stick is extremely inconvenient and slow. Or at least add the ability to increase the speed of the marker.

    If there is no desire to leave in this game all your nerves, it is highly recommended to play this masterpiece, as shooting there is VERY unusual, it is not Csgo.

    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.

    I love this game more than any other game I have ever played and have so far ploughed about seven hundred hours into it.

    The PvE action still destroys me on occasion and can be especially awful when in the middle of a PvP moment.

There has been many times I bested other players, had very low health, and got bitten by a dog or clattered over the head by an AI zombie before I had a chance to heal up and savour my victory.

    The only reason I’m not giving it a solid 10 is because there is a wee bit of menu/equipment functionality that could be improved upon. 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. WARNING: it may not be a good game to play if you have a heart condition. It’s intense     … Expand

    Quello che ritenevo uno dei migliori gunplay degli ultimi anni grazie alla patch 1.4.4 e' diventato il peggior gunplay che abbia mai provato. Quindi ora non c'e' piu nessun motivo per continuare a giocarci o ,per interessati, di comprare questo titolo.

    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

    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.

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

    This is just a joke not a game, doesn't really deserve any point since it's "non-stop DLC time", permanently existing bugs and other stuff that just makes this game not enjoyable anymore. Just frustration, nothing else.

Drains more and more cash with some "OH NO, IT'S NOT IMBALANCED, IT'S VISIBLE AS HELL" DLC hunters and other things that just... well... no words.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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!"
