The game for those who don't know is a four one one multiplayer game. You can play the marines or the Predator itself. The marines game play while vanilla is still fun. You have to complete your objectives while being hunter by another player who is the Predator. Now if you aren't being hunted that often the match will be over quick and it isn't fun. If your Predator is some kid with ADHD who just runs at you it isn't that fun as the marines either. It only works if they are messing with you and picking your team a part piece by piece. The Predator game play is a stupid amount of fun. You do feel like a Predator if you do it right. I am a bad Predator most of the time. I constantly got seen and would be happy to kill just one player. Now I said most of the time. The few times I was on my game it was the greatest experience of the entire game. The thing is $40 for essentially one game mode with no story mode to speak of is very steep. On top of the lack of replay value the game also doesn't look that great. I could compare it to a late in life PS3 game then a current gen console game. I just wish there was more to this. I want more Predator and unfortunately this game drops the ball. It ends up being a pass because of it.… Expand

    This game has a lot of promise. But the AI is laughable..... like Goldeneye 007 bad... like stand in one spot while an alarm is going off and they will just keep running into the doorway bad. I could see a massive patch in a few months then this game being good.

    So objective base mode, youre just running to a spt, holding down square, go to the next spot, kill some enemy ai, and eventually escape.. get extracted while the predator attempts to stop this… bored after just one play session.. in the 4 v 4 mode here youre team will all try and take over a capture point, and every once in a while youll get the option to become the predator, climbing trees, going invisible, hopping through branches, slicing enemies up.. I loved this, I loved how over powered and fun it feels to be in the driver seat of the predator, and this mode is the mode you will get to feel this power more frequently..
    sadly though predator hunting grounds just got dull pretty qickly for me… the gunplay isn’t satisfying enough, and modes aren’t varied enough for me excited for the next match, its all the same…
    Predator hunting grounds is a fun little first person shooter for a weekend, and there are even different versions of the predator with new weapons to unlock.. but sadly the content is lacking to keep you hooked long enough to even care to unlock more predator variations..
    Get your fun in, its currently free for playstation plus, but I don’t expect many to be sticking around beyond this month…

    Let's preface this by saying the game is enjoyable, and I myself have been fortunate enough to not experience the same matchmaking issues as everybody else - 5-10 minutes finding a match as Predator, sure, but never a wait over 30 seconds as fireteam.

Mechanically, this game has launched with a far greater degree of polish than Illfonic's previous outing, Friday the 13th, and the game does capture the spirit of Predator. In a pleasant surprise, there are no microtransactions at launch, and progression is honestly quick: it's easy to gain about a level every match for at least the first twenty levels. Plus, the game is safeguarded against DCs in the simplest possible way: its inclusion of AI enemies means that as long as SOMEBODY is still in the game, the game can still progress. Granted, it progresses with the lack of difficulty of having to hunt or be hunted by a PvP player, but nevertheless, you never have to feel screwed by a DC, purposeful or otherwise. And the bugs, while present and honestly a bit prevalent, are actually far less insurmountable than most games in the 4v1 asymmetrical subgenre. Compared to the other new asymmetrical licensed outing released right now (RE: Resistance), the game's netcode and optimization are actually solid.

    So where it the issue? Simple: content. It doesn't break the game across its knee completely to be so lacking in content, but three maps with one overarching 'island' layout theme does get old kind of quickly, and even the addition of multiple possible missions per map doesn't stretch it out tremendously, as it's all some variant of 'capture point, defend point, repeat', with an occasional hunt for resources or side missions for extra money. The gameplay loop isn't a problem if you're absolutely in love with the Predator franchise as I am, but even loving the series like I do, it feels like an 8/10 to me, and having to step back and look at it from a different framing, I'd have a hard time pushing this over a 6 or a 7 to most gamers.

    In short, 'fun, but flawed'. I'm enjoying it thoroughly due to my love of both asymmetrical multiplayer and Predator, but hopefully the game can expand its content over time to be able to appeal to more than just the dedicated niche demographic.    … Expand

    The concept is AMAZING! but the gameplay itself and the graphics and glitches along with a rather bad lootbox system that lets you get everything in a couple days takes away from its potential.

There are many bugs/glitches one of them being when I got to customize my character and I go to see what I unlocked I hover over it and boom there is the skin I got. Then I back out it still says that I still haven't looked at it. The gunplay is decent like there is no recoil which bothers me. When I got this thing called a "Field Locker" I was like ok what is this and since I got after leveling up I though it was increased storage for stuff I have unlocked kinda like Minecraft of PUBG too an extent but no it was some stupid ass lootboxes why do game companies rely on stupid business practices but the good thing is it is ONLY cosmetic and you can buy them with in game currency and you earn in game without buying with real world money which is good but get rid of these ok. They should do something like COD with milestones. The predator itself is awesome to see as a Fireteam player, but when being attacked your guns do literally nothing to it. You should get 3 custom class options instead of one, the leveling in this game for unlocks is absurd. Level 100 just for a classic vest like I'm going to be playing this game for that long. I really do hope that the game gets better.… Expand

    First the wait times are terrible, not god awful but I have yet to see the timer for the predator dip below 4 minutes and that is a rough estimate at best. Cross platform is a thing (PS4/PC) but all too often you finally get in a lobby (as P) only for there to be one player on the fire team who quickly disconnects after 2 mins of not getting any more meaning you have to start over again.First the wait times are terrible, not god awful but I have yet to see the timer for the predator dip below 4 minutes and that is a rough estimate at best. Cross platform is a thing (PS4/PC) but all too often you finally get in a lobby (as P) only for there to be one player on the fire team who quickly disconnects after 2 mins of not getting any more meaning you have to start over again. Leveling doesn't feel bad but the predator only really gets access to their tools at the higher levels and until then your only hope is your dealing with an inexperienced team, you have your cannon but its a dead giveaway that sees you riddled with bullet holes and seems to do pitiful damage short of being right on top of your target and successfully hitting them, which is hard given that everyone sprints like sonic half the time, no one really sits still to let you shoot at them and that's to be expected.

    On the fire team side their is very little choice in what guns you bring into the match gear can be limiting and the perks are alright albeit the only real expression of a choice it feels like. You choose your spawn location but once you figure out what map your playing you really don't choose anything but the closest one. The missions are forgettable and the AI is barely a threat unless the predator drops in while your dealing with them allows the AI to stack up a bit but even then they aren't going to put a dent in your health bar by any important means. I would be surprised if a player lost more than 40 hp to the AI in a round as the predator feels like the only real threat to the players, The AI is also very simplistic in its design, probably no more than 3-4 variations in total running 1-2 gun options and doing little more than pointing said gun at the player and shooting, which just feels bad. Enemies also loudly call out that they are going to hit the alarm with a little icon appearing over their head which immediately draws the entire groups fire for saying such a thing. Even having the alarm pulled is more of a minor inconvenience than a threat and rarely happens after the players shoot the initial 4 guards at an objective and disable all of them. Stuttering frames even when on the lowest of settings and overall running conditions feel kinda bad, aiming is alright but can be tedious and sometimes a little annoying. On the lowest settings everything feels like very sterile game engine conditions and it loses a lot of atmosphere in doing so but at the trade off that you can actually aim and process whats going on around you. Sound design is nice. Overall the fire team plays like a squad shooter where you really don't care what your doing and you aren't doing it for long before you sprint through the jungle to the next location very forgettable not very exciting.

    As the predator it feels more like your desperately trying to pick people off than actually hunting them with any sort of skill, everyone is watching the tree line and short of using the Bow you will be spotted trying to assault the group from range. All the noise you make signals to the team that you are around and completely blows any sort of element of stealth, it's more a question of how long it takes for them to spot you. The net gun, the combistick, and the bow are common place to be used by the predator as all other options pale in comparison to usefulness. Gear is underwhelming (cant even fill the 15 points you get as the berserker class) and while neat using them is a pain since aiming is more of a toss out and hope than actual aim. If your against players that remotely know what their doing it's a hassle more than anything to actually pick anyone off and you can't really "hunt." This isn't hunting this is a desperate attempt at weakening the players to find something to capitalize on than waiting for a moment to strike and feels like a constant game of catch up and try to be threatening than anything else.

    in short but certainly not all of it. the game has potential but its more nostalgia bait for fans of the alien franchise (Which a lot of their games sadly are) than a full game experience, it's game mode you would play on occasion or a mod for another game, but most certainly not a full game. From every sense of the design it feels rushed and half baked and that isn't necessarily the fault of the people that I'm positive worked very hard to make. As a trip down memory lane its a nice bit of game play and can certainly be fun but in it current iteration it's only going to last as long as it has its fan base, and after that has started to dwindle it will slide into obscurity rather quickly. It's only been out around a month or so of writing this but at its core, for what it offers at the moment, its going to need a lot more polish and commitment before it becomes anything worth calling a full game.    … Expand

    Not the worst multiplayer game ever, however it struggles with a few things. Matchmaking is poor and in game has plenty of glitches and bugs. Limited on maps and grounds. While hunts and clashes are fun, fast and violent they're is plenty to customise in regards classes and the Predators look very cool and intimidating. Good time killer and just have fun.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game had potential…but the developers (Illfonic) don’t give a crap about the franchise or this game. Before it became completely broken, I would have given this game a 10. But after the September/October 2021 update…it just went downhill from there. Constant game crashes. Glitches. All sorts of bad stuff that is claimed “fixable” but was never fixed. Mind, this is after months and months of Illfonic saying that they would fix the game, but no. They apparently have better things to do, such as Ghostbusters (which I assume is a terrible game.) but now into the balance and content. Sure, it’s kind of exciting, but there are 9 Predator DLCs compared to 3 fireteam ones. That’s just dumb. And anyone who plays this game will say without a doubt that the game is Fireteam-based. It just is. 7/10 matches, the fireteam will either force a self destruct, escape, or secure the Predator’s dead body. It’s just dumb and overpowered. Meanwhile the Predator itself is incredibly weak and requires a ton of skill to win with, even with the tanks classes such as Mr. Black, Viking, and Berserker. And the scout builds you can just shoot once and they are down. It’s really stupid. I had really high hopes for this game, but now? I don’t think so. Just threw the disk in the garbage can. My advice: don’t waste your money on this game or the company that made it. They don’t deserve it.… Expand

    Predator: Hunting Grounds is difficult to advise even the most loyal fans of the franchise. The game is not worth your time, even if it will be distributed on a PS Plus subscription or sold at a huge discount. It is almost impossible to get pleasure here. Terrible graphics, unbalanced gameplay, poorly developed mechanics and broken matchmaking leave only a deep sense of frustration.
