    First off, let me start by saying this game does not deserve all the negative criticism it is getting. Those criticizing the game are either playing on systems below specs or with outdated drivers. With even a semblance of a decent rig, the game will be playable with little/no FPS lag. That being said, this game is definitely not for everyone, and there are some problems with CoOp. IfFirst off, let me start by saying this game does not deserve all the negative criticism it is getting. Those criticizing the game are either playing on systems below specs or with outdated drivers. With even a semblance of a decent rig, the game will be playable with little/no FPS lag. That being said, this game is definitely not for everyone, and there are some problems with CoOp. If you're looking for the loot-driven randomness of Diablo or Torchlight, this game will disappoint. For what the game is, which is a hack-n-slash based in an RPG setting, Hunted delivers on several fronts. Battles are challenging and exciting, especially on higher difficulties. The dark mood and setting have been very eerie. Do NOT play this game in a dark room at night! The ability system is somewhat simplistic, so it may disappoint "true roleplayers" who are used to games like Dragon Age: Origins or KotOR. This isn't really a drawback, though, since, if you're playing this game, you just want to smash things to bits anyway. For the PC version, I did not find the graphics "dated", as some users have implied, but there can be some texture tearing even when there shouldn't be. To summarize, if you want a game that will help you let off some steam, challenge you (and a friend!) with epic battles, and make you feel like a hero, pick this one up. Just realize that it may not be what you expect it to be, and that there might be some problems which, hopefully, can be solved with some updates in the future.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I absolutely loved this game. Postponed the purchase because of the mixed critiques, but I was disappointed positively. This game is not for everyone, I think some expected more from it. It is what it is, a dungeon crawler as it was advertised, no more, no less. Great action mixed with some puzzles and exploration. The story is decent, even if you get to know the most of it from the dead. It feels a bit like reading a book, there are plenty of things left for your imagination, but you'll never feel cheated. These little personal stories only enrich the universe of Hunted.
    The design of the game overall is decent, you won't run into the same setting twice. You really feel the space even if you mostly go through linear sections. The graphic is nice and I definitely would not call it dated. The puzzles are not particularly hard, you will have to rely on your perception mostly to get them done. If you tired when you play, there's a bigger chance you miss secret areas and otherwise obvious solutions to riddles.
    I think the gameplay is decent too. The action has good dynamics. It's a bit repetitive, but I never got bored of slaying hundreds of ugly beasts. It's simply fun! Recently I felt disappointed by big over-hyped titles which look good, but have very little to offer in terms of entertaining gameplay. Hunted restored my faith.
    The only downsides are the bugs. They are not as nearly as annoying as some say, but they are there. But I have seen much worse cases recently, so I think it's forgivable.
    Overall it's a 9. And I think this game is underrated.    … Expand

    I can't believe how ridiculously underrated this game is. Played it through several times co-op in different difficulty settings and it was incredibly fun, very challenging, worth playing it many times over. Hands down one of the best co-op games I have played, and co-op games are the ones I usually keep an eye open for.

    Quite a fun game. The partner dynamic between E'Lara and Caddoc is flawless, though the environments at times look a bit barren, and it's a bit short for an rpg. On the other hand, combat is surprsingly good, and there's dedicated map-editing and online co-op. Really, it's not an rpg. More of like action adventure, so if you go into expecting an rpg, you'll be disappointed. However,Quite a fun game.

And the story was actually very intriguing. The way it was told through the flashbacks from the dead citizens of the empires was ingenious. Learning the whole sad tale kept me greatly interested! After one playthrough, I only found 1/2 the secrets, so time to go back and explore. Anyway, Hunted isn't perfect but it was very enjoyable and left me wanting more. That's high praise considering how many bland games come out. So Hunted is a refreshingly pure dungeon crawler that deserves to be experienced, critics be danged.

    But all gameplay-bugs were able to be solved by reloading the last checkpoint.

    Some other users complain about graphic-issues, or that the game is not starting.
    I had no problems: insert the dvd into a well installed win7-system and its working.

    To the positive aspects:
    this game is just FUN. Looking at E'lara is much more than 5 minutes satisfaction :-)
    Okay serious now: compared to Gears of War or Resident Evil 5 - you coop-partner (AI) is not worse.
    When you're playing E'lara, Caddoc makes his job pretty good.
    He fights in the first line, he revives you immediately (usually), and he gives you magical boosts just in time.

    But much more fun, this game is in coop-play with your friend. I have to mention, that some people have here problems, too: matchmaking via gamespy or something is not working, they say.
    Well - i play via hamachi (LAN-client) and its working perfect !!!

    Playing with a buddy is something special. Its working perfect, we hat no lost connection or something else. But its a little bit harder, because both players are always looking for potions and armory :-)

    After a playthrough it's recommended to try the crucible editor. For me as PC-Player it's a little bit weird.
    a typical console-thing.... too. Its a simple sandbox-editor.... looks like memory or something.

    I hope inXile will give us an U3-Editor. This could help to revive the community.

    For me, i bought this game twice (for me & my girlfriend), the money was all worth.
    The best coop-play (story-)game after Resident Evil 5.

    I have no issue with long loading times and infact they are well within reasonable,perhaps some people need an upgrade.
    Graphics run on max with shadow on medium with Geforce gtx 250 and gameplay is perfectly smooth.
    Out in the open world you can see a lot of effort was put into making a beautiful land.
    I havn't tried online co'op as I feel trying to work with a stranger would probably be frustrating.
    Single player is fun as it is,your partner does an above average job of helping out and I even found when playing as Caddoc that Elara was not so squishy in big fights despite her lack of armour.
    Hell she had to come rescue me quite a few times.
    Controls work well despite it being a console port according to some reviewers(havn't checked if its true)infact I couldn't tell.
    The combat is challenging enough to make it fun and not so hard as to be frustrating.
    So far I have about six hours into the game and find it pretty hard to stop and go to bed and it feels like ther is a long way to go before reaching the end.Thats a good thing.
    If or when a sequel to this comes out it will definitly be on my shopping list.    … Expand

Some caveats though that kept it from being a 10:
    1. Save points are ridiculous, leading to multiple plays of the harder fights. There should be more or manual saves. 2. Interface has some issues in some areas, we're playing it on PC and it feels like the game was designed for console, so maybe that's the issue, but the menu UI could've been polished more. Not really a criticism but an overall comment. We're playing only co-op. You do have to play the tutorial solo and that didn't seem too distracting, but I've no idea how it plays overall single-player. I wouldn't even bother to try it that way. We're buying this for friends as gifts after a couple hours of play.    … Expand

The AI is nowhere near dumb as i initially thought. Barely reaching chapter 2 and playing on the 2nd difficulty there have been times when we died in coop. Considering most of the time you can even ressurect your partner (1 res for each vial you possess) that's quite a few deaths. Graphically speaking, the tutorial does no justice to this game. It was horrible and totally uninspired. However once chapter 1 started everything got better. Also the game's visuals can ba vastly improved if you have an nvidia card by forcing AA and Ambient Occlusion. With a 8xAA + performance AO in 1080p gtx 560 ti i stayed in the 60 fps range. And the graphics got way better. Only issue i had with this is once i tried to play coop with AA and AO forced the game crashed. Singleplayer was fine however so im not quite sure what to make of it. To finish this off : if you're expecting a loot-driven hack&slash similar to diablo/titan quest don't bother.

Like saying there are several other games with "elves and dragons" better than this. There's nothing like that, especially with co-op, and MMOs don't count since you have to group with a bunch of losers & grind on lame quests. Hunted is good and the characters have really detailed personalities, and good voice actors backing them (BloodRayne and Dante (fron Dante's Inferno). Big and small choices matter in this, and some interesting game mechanics are put to use in relation to those choices. Sure there are some bugs and some things that could have been done a little better, but this is the case with all games. Art in general is never perfect and games never are. If you buy this for singleplayer you won't be happy though. Definitely needs a co-op partner to take advantage of the game.

    Oh and people who say this is like Gears or something are wrong. It's nothing like any of those games. There is a lot of thought put into this game and how combat works for each character. There are a lot of touching moments in the cutscenes too and the story is excellent. The only thing that bothered me was the bad ending. if you go for the good ending this game's story ties up nicely, but it definitely needs a sequel.

Pro: I have played through the single-player and Coop single-player campaign and loved it. I do not think the melee is clunky or awkward at all. It takes a kind of skill to do melee combat, just because you're not good does not mean the game sucks. I enjoy fantasy stories, I love the story of this game. Very simple in the beginning and deeper towards the end. I like the personality of the main characters and their snippy remarks, it adds character depth which you can see the developers wanted to do. I bought the game on a whim and really like what the developers were trying to do. I buy games to support the developers and the movement to which what I want to see the direction of the industry go. It is a fun Linear game, I like linear, it's foolish to think that just because a game is Linear that it has no depth and it sucks. Each game is intended to please a different type of gamer, not all gamers. And this one does the niche, linear Action/Adventure small RPG elements - BIG coop options and map editor - very well. There are few games like this one out and I commend the company for making it. CON: Price was to steep for this game. I do think $30 would be more appropriate, though I split it with a buddy of mine and $25 each is fine for LAN playing and you only need 1 CD for LAN

In the end, it's fun to play (I couldn't put it down for some reason), yeah, it's a linear console port, but not a bad game - a few additional features and this would have been golden.… Expand

    Awesome game. I particularly liked the game when it was doing good stuff with the graphics and the gameplay and the story and the sound, et cetera, et cetera. All in all, easy game of the year for me.

    This review is completely unbiased- I am just a normal gamer in love with co-op and I'm here in regards to it. I managed to spend four or so hours playing co-op (using Tuungle) as E'Lara last night, and I have mixed feelings. As others have stated, performance is all over the place. Even starting the game can range from 10 seconds to over a minute. Checkpoints can freeze your game upThis review is completely unbiased- I am just a normal gamer in love with co-op and I'm here in regards to it. I managed to spend four or so hours playing co-op (using Tuungle) as E'Lara last night, and I have mixed feelings. As others have stated, performance is all over the place. Even starting the game can range from 10 seconds to over a minute. Checkpoints can freeze your game up (causing the person with the faster computer to wait for you), but if you're patient it comes back.

    Hunted is BRUTAL. Some balance issues definitely need to get some attention. Taking cover (at least from E'Lara's perspective) is essential, and if you get in melee range you're as good as elfburger. The real problem is that the cover system is quite clunky - the controls are clunky in general. It's definitely apparent this was a console port, and keybindings were counter-intuitive to any other FPS game I've played. The one saving grace in combat is the assisted targeting -- if you are behind cover and pop out to take a shot, your 'crosshair' will line up with a mob. This can sometimes point you right at a wall, but it's the only way to successfully survive as E'Lara. Pop out, fire an hour or two, pop down. Enemies fail to miss, and it only takes 4 or 5 hits to down you.

    Which leads me to health/mana potions and rez potions (I forget what they're called). The drop rates for potions REALLY needs balance, as there are at least 5 mana for every 1 health potion dropped. You can hold more potions (up to 3) at a time as you progress through the game, but you rarely have more than 1 health potion. And that leads me to the whole 'partner down' problem.

    Given that it is so easy to die, using one of your health or rez potions is critical in the middle of combat. There are two flaws with this system, the first being you only get (roughly) ten seconds before your partner bleeds out. The second is if you're in the middle of an attack or not facing the person you can't revive them. This can be extremely difficult to overcome if you're under fire or you're the melee character and can't turn around, as the controls are finicky. My friend and I died more from clunky controls than actually having "oops" moments. Checkpoint placement is decent, but not great. We had to replay large firefights we had already finished 2 or 3 times, but for the most part they are placed somewhat okay. Instead of placing checkpoints at the various 'loading' points in the game, they really should have placed them whenever your journal was updated.

    I cannot comment on the graphics as I have a 4 year old laptop and I was running on minimum settings. My framerate would drop to 15-20 during firefights, which is manageable and no fault of the game, but graphics still looked fairly good. I'll agree with other people here and say they did a poor job of utilizing the U3 engine. There are quite a few invisible walls and areas you should be able to access but cannot. The game promotes exploration through text while loading areas, but my friend and I have yet to find access to a huge deal of areas with hidden objects. The game is also very inconsistent about objects and level design - you can break a barrel here, but not on the other side of the pathway. You can break this wall, but not that one.

    The sound design, especially the soundtrack and voice acting, were probably the most impressive parts of the game. I can't comment too much on them right now, but they did stand out.

    My overall experience was a mixed bag. The experience felt like Army of Two mixed with Too Human, both on the 360. It's fairly fun and we will continue playing because there are too few co-op FPS games for the PC right now, but at the end of the night my final thought was, "they really should've beta tested this game before it was released." I'm sure it was, but it REALLY needs a lot of work.    … Expand

Epic loot is important to fantasy and the fun of a new drop is in its unique inventory system. Hunted's huge problem is a lack of polish. On the PC controls suffer terribly from being a console port and bad collision detection has the game feeling clunky and unresponsive, which will cripple a shooter.

I'm slightly confused by the weapons system too, my UI says I can equip a bow or a backup bow, and yet when I find another bow on the ground, I can only replace my existing bow, not take both??? I heard that the second bow slot is actually something that will be unlocked later, but in that case why not somehow show that it is a locked slot/ability? There are many other small things as well, like not being able to jump. On the plus side, voice acting is pretty good so far both in terms of fit and delivery.

    After my penis bought this game I sat down to play. What i got was a mediocre but pretty experience with OK voice acting. The thing that kept me playing wasn't the backside of the elf (my dick abandoned me right after purchase) but the nice amount of secrets to find.

    Hunted, es un juego de acción con pequeños elementos de rol y muy simplificado. Se trata de algo así como acción con dungeon crawler, donde atravesaras grandes escenarios oscuros en gran parte, derrotando enemigos, juntando coleccionables y adquiriendo versiones mejoradas de tus armas.
    La historia se centra en dos mercenarios; Caddoc el humano y E'lara la elfa. Tal y como se da en los juegos de fantasias, el humano será un fuerte guerrero y la elfa, una excelente arquera. La cosa que puedes usar a cualquiera de estos dos personajes, pudiendo cambiar en ciertas partes del escenario(hay a cada rato asi que no es problema).
    Sin ser nada del otro mundo, el juego nuestra el viaje que emprenden estos dos codiciosos mercenarios para obtener riquezas, pero se ven inmersos en un problema mayor y terminan sin quererlo, siendo los héroes que salvaran el mundo. Una historia típica de este tipo, pero que te mantiene expectante durante el transcurso del juego.
    Lejos lo mejor son los diálogos de nuestros "Héroes", muy divertidos, a veces muy egoístas o vulgares. Recuerdo cuando rescatas a una persona y le dicen "ya vuelve a tu pueblo no tendrás problemas porque ya matamos a los enemigos" con tanta indiferencia que el salvado dice: "eso es todo?, vaya estos son los peores heroes que he visto".
    La jugabilidad es simple, entretiene bastante el sistema de combate, pero hay poca variedad de enemigos, y en general es super repetitivo y lineal el juego.
    Lo mejor de las estapas, son las quests secundarias de resolver acertijos, son simples. pero le dan mística al juego, lástima que en los últimos capítulos ya no hay de esto.
    El final es abrupto, los escenarios son tan prolijos, que no me había dado cuenta que ya habia llegado al final boss. Un final amargo, pero interesante, eso si tiene 3 finales, 2 malos y uno bueno ;)

    Lo bueno:
    - Los protagonistas son muy divertidos, los diálogos que tienen pueden sacarte risas.
    - Jugabilidad de pelea rápida y divertida.
    - Historia simple que cumple bien.

    Lo malo:

    - Mucha linealidad.
    - Armas muy iguales.
    - Poca variedad de enemigos.

    Lo recomiendo, pero cuando esté en oferta.    … Expand

    Hunted: The Demon’s Forge is a linear third-person adventure game featuring sword & shield combat combined with cover-based archery sections. Production values are high – voice-acting, music, and graphics quality (Unreal 3) are good – but can’t make up for how boring the game becomes.

Production values are high – voice-acting, music, and graphics quality (Unreal 3) are good – but can’t make up for how boring the game becomes. Travel by corridor, enter an arena, fight a horde of enemies, rinse, repeat. There are a few side-dungeons and puzzles which add much-needed variety (and are well-designed). The story is your standard snarky-adventurers-battle-orcs affair, but it never goes into too much depth, almost as though it’s only there as an excuse for the gameplay. Never a good sign. Oh, and if bikini warriors are something you like, one of the player-characters easily qualifies. If that’s the kind of thing that annoys you, well, prepare to be annoyed.

    Designed to be “king of co-op games,” co-op unfortunately doesn’t work since Gamespy was shut down. I’ve read in the forums that third-party apps will still enable cooperative play, but this seems hit-or-miss, and I haven’t tested it myself. Played solo, the campaign works well enough; your companion has plenty of health (though not invincible), and if powers are used consistently, the combat is easy. There is one tomb that bugs unless you play as the elf, as I discovered, and you can only switch between characters at specified points, and not at will (something that other co-op games manage without trouble). Magic feels a little cumbersome to use. Select the desired power using numbers 1-4 on your keyboard, and press Q to use the selected power. Why not have the number keys also use the power? It’s an extra key-stroke that isn’t appreciated in the heat of combat. There’s a rudimentary skill set set and level-up system, but I collected so many points that upgrading was never something I thought much about.

    A word about the final boss. The archer-player needs to shoot the boss in the heart, while the sword & shield player protects the archer from spawning enemies. When the heart-bar is depleted, the archer-player needs to shoot the enemy spawns, while the sword & shield player pushes on some columns. This will need to be done three or four times. Played in co-op, I don’t doubt it would work fine. Played solo, there is no way to issue orders to your companion, making victory rely on luck as much as skill. Frustrating.

    Hunted: The Demon’s Forge is easily a $20 game if everything works as advertised. That it is for sale at a list price of $5 on Steam indicates to me that Bethesda is aware of the issues but can’t be bothered to fix them, so the game is sold at a perpetual 75% discount. Worth a purchase IF you can get the co-op to work. For most of us, though, the time of Hunted: The Demon’s Forge has passed, and it’s not worth the asking price. Get it as cheap as possible if it tempts you, but be prepared to quickly move on to something else.

But then the imagination of developers came to an end, there were dark impenetrable levels with riddles, and a little later levels are lighter, but this fact is not easier. After watching the Lord of the rings, decided to throw the whole army against the player, because the enemies of darkness, and arranged fights so until all you will not kill on will not pass, will not open the door, sometimes fighting hit the fact that you catch yourself thinking, and not a bug whether caught, waves of enemies all come and so throughout the game, than completely kill the impression of the game, and the story itself and the process of achieving the goal, a small pumping for two, the same, saving the homeless, and so the whole game.
    Первые две главы думал, что игра не плохая, хорошо, что решил поиграть. Но потом фантазия разработчиков кончилась, появились темные непроглядные уровни с загадками, а чуть позже уровни светлей, но от этого факта не легче. Насмотревшись Властелин колец, решили закинуть всю армию против игрока, потому, что врагов тьма, и устроены бои так, пока всех не убьешь дальше не пройдешь, не откроется дверь, порой бои поражают тем, что ловишь себя на мысли, а не баг ли словил, волны врагов все прибывают и так на протяжении всей игры, чем полностью убивают впечатления о самой игре, да и сам сюжет и процесс достижения цели, маленькая прокачка на двоих, одинаковая, спасение бомжей, и так всю игру.    … Expand

    Competent hack-'n'-slash with a few neat ideas wrapped in a package that's remarkably unremarkable. [Sept 2011, p.64]

    We didn't expect much yet we are disappointed. Linear hack'n'slash offers tedious contents, repeatable enemies and environments and above all it fails in cooperation mode. [July 2011]

    Hunted is one of those action games that fly into one ear and exit through the other without even touching your brain.
