    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

    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.

    Predator: Hunting Grounds is a multiplayer only game, in which you have only 2 game modes, Hunt (the Fireteam members have an objective to complete while the predator hunts them down, both predator and fireteam members controlled by the player) and Clash (2 teams fighting, practically playing conquest while 1 of your team members can be the predator).

    About the in-game content, there are not many weapons neither weapon customisation, but there are many different gears and perks available for the fireteam, the predator has even more customisation options. The predator has many appearance options available and many different weapons and gear to choose, which adds the player the possibility on how and when to attack its prey.
    The game isn't that easy as you might be thinking, the predator has to decide when the fireteam members are the least prepared for his attack, while the fireteam has to always keep their eyes wide open because not only they have to finish the mission in a 15 min time limit, but they have to be aware that the predator is probably looking for them. The mission aren't that repetitive, I mean, yes, they are the same after some time, but still there are so many different missions, after some time you forgot the same mission you've done 30 games before (for now only 3 maps available).
    In the gameplay there are many details which are taken from the film, but within this review I won't mention them, it is up to you to find them out.
    The only two things that aren't made as good as others is the AI soldiers, inaccurate, running around without any tactical movement, glitchy sometimes, all in all, rubbish. The second thing are the graphics which for a 2020 game could have been much better, it's okay, but still, could have been more detailed.

    All in all, a great game, okay, some things like the AI needs to be improved, but without that, the game is enjoyable enough to make you play it for hours and hours.    … Expand

    Having an AI in a multiplayer game is pretty dumb especially if the AI itself is dumb (which it is, if not the dumbest).
    The game is still in a sorry state a year past its release and softlocks woefully often.
    Overall Predator HG is somehow even worse than Friday the 13th the game only the controls are slightly improved but the atmosphere is absent.
    And lastly, it's another šitty game to the PS Plus collection. Sony must be real happy that this game bears a name of a famous franchise which is their only excuse to put this on PS+.

    From the people who brought us Friday the 13th: The Game comes another asymmetrical multiplayer experience. This time based on 20th Century Studios' Predator franchise.

This time based on 20th Century Studios' Predator franchise. It sees a squad of soldiers go head-to-head with one of sci-fi's most iconic creations and the results are surprisingly pretty great.

    As a member of the "Fireteam" you and up to three other people are tasked with completing objectives across a lush jungle environment before exfiltrating on "the choppa" preferably with everyone intact. A task made more difficult by the AI assailants scattered across the map that, while generally not very intelligent, are still perceptive enough to draw you into a firefight that can attract the attention of the real threat to your success. This side of things plays like your traditional military FPS. You customize a loadout complete with perks and weapon attachments while using an instantly recognizable control scheme that will be familiar to anyone who's played a shooter since the 360/PS3 era. As a result, it's very accessible and the only thing you'll really have to learn is how to disable alarms and coat yourself in mud to avoid getting detected.

    Meanwhile as the titular alien villain your job is to track down and eliminate the other players before they can escape. I've heard people say this half of the game is unbalanced, as in an atypical move for the genre the person doing the hunting is at a disadvantage. One-on-one your opponents will offer little resistance, but if the group is sticking together they can gun you down in seconds. It sounds brutal and unfair, but while I myself have yet to pick up a win as the Predator I've had quite a few matches where my team and I were the victims of a one-sided beatdown. You simply have to take a tactical approach and make intelligent usage of the advanced technology at your disposal to chip away at the Fireteam. You know, kind of like how the creature did in the actual movie? Honestly, I think people are just complaining because they're upset they can't run through everyone as a nigh-invincible killing machine like they could as Jason Voorhees.

    I was shocked to find that many of the issues I typically have with these types of games weren't that much of a factor here. The setup seems to encourage positive cooperation so I haven't had any issues with other people mucking about or being a jerk, and an Apex Legends-esque ping system allows you communicate information with your companions without ever having to utter a word. The amount of actual content will still be questionable for some, but personally the light elements of random generation have kept things from getting stale for me after countless matches now despite some key areas having the same objectives every time. It's even the first asymmetrical title I've seen that offers another mode, although it isn't much to write home about. "Clash" sees two Fireteams duking it out over rotating capture points. It basically plays out like a poor man's Hardpoint from Call of Duty where someone occasionally gets to be the Predator. Microtransactions are also not a nuisance as the cosmetics can be attained through generously doled out loot boxes or by purchasing them individually with "Veritanium" which can be found scattered across the maps. All is not perfect as, while gorgeous at first glance, looking too closely will reveal plastic textures and there are some infrequent matchmaking woes, but this is head and shoulders above the majority of its competition regardless.

    The real appeal though may just be its faithfulness to the source material. Authentic sound effects and visuals help it to recapture the feeling of that original film. I hope the devs continue to update this the way they did their previous title with content from the other movies because there is plenty of room to grow. Yet, in its current state it is nonetheless addictive and when it comes to this particular style of multiplayer is second only to the mighty Among Us.    … Expand

    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…

As a word of warning beforehand, on lower end PCs & Base PS4s it may run poorly in places, including frame drops & the like, on higher end PCs & PS4 Pros the overall experience on a technical level is much improved.

    But past all that is perhaps one of the best, if not the best Asymmetric Multiplayer experiences you can currently find on the market, with incredibly fun & arcade-y Fireteam gameplay that feels much more casual & fun oriented than some contemporary FPS works like the COD franchise, and is MUCH improved with buddies I might add, playing as the Humans in this will have you chuckling away as you relive classic Predator moments from the human perspective & of course often attempt to get to the choppa whilst fighting against an agile, technologically advanced hunter from the stars...

    Which brings us to the Predator. The REAL meat of the game. This is where the game truly shines, playing as the Predator themselves, with perhaps the most fun movement & combat the titular alien hunter has ever had on a video game front. You are agile, stealthy, hard-hitting yet still all so vulnerable and you WILL be cut down like swiss cheese if caught or rushing head on against superior numbers & overwhelming firepower, which the Fireteam humans possess & more. Playing as the Predator takes the game from a simple, arcade-y yet reliably fun FPS with an Asymmetric twist as the humans to a tactical game of cat & mouse where both sides possess great strengths & heavy weaknesses of their own. If you are picking this game up at all, and certainly if you lack the buddies to play Fireteam with, you MUST try out being the Pred first & foremost.

    It should also be noted that the Free Update & DLC support has been exceptional, with very cheap & fun DLC characters released periodically since launch and a HEAP of new weapons & gear for both sides added in alongside constant balancing adjustments to keep the game fresh, and there is more on the way which certainly looks promising and will continue to help the initial lack of content the game suffered from at Launch. The game deserves to be supported & allowed to grow, especially if you are a Predator fan. I certainly got my money worth out of it at least.

    So in the end to sum it up. A flawed but ultimately fun & addictive game that has received great support both free & paid from its developers since Launch and has a heap of potential yet to be reaped. Nothing new or groundbreaking, not the best game you'll play this year, but a game with a lot of heart & ambition behind it and one that can be fun to pop in whenever.    … 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.
