    If your a fan of games like Left 4 Dead which reward good team play, this game can be a lot of fun.

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

    Really fun when playing with 4 other friends! Can lead to intense battles when waiting for extraction. It's still fun playing with random people but it doesn't match playing with friends. It has some cool customisation items, but feel there could have been some more interesting and exotic looking ones. But I'm sure in the near future with more content updates we will see more.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Frame Rate is awful on PS4 no optimisation, graphical glitches all over the place. No PC to PS4 party creation so cross-play is strangers only. Hit level 100 in two days without double XP now what, no prestige options or end game content. Spoiler you unlock 5 outfits or 4 if you ordered Deluxe.

    Sad to say really poor rushed out game with same problems as trial.

    Matchmaking is a joke, all good saying we will look into it but it’s the same as trial so what are they actually doing??

    If you can get over the bad graphics, terrible frame rate there is a good game hiding away, but in 2020 there is no excuse for something so bad looking to perform like this.

    Also sadly because of the massive lack of content the game is likely to die before it gets the chance to get better. Seriously 2 days of play to unlock everything apart from colours on skins.

    Ignore the 10’s that’s just bait, if you really want this wait for sale.    … Expand

The controls are not there and feel like the predator is on auto pilot part of the time. Then your waiting for people to join a game, on launch day after 3mins I went to a private game.

    Had no clue what this game is like, except for the basic concepts. The graphics on ps4 are barely comparable to Black Ops 1, which came out 10 years ago. In addition to inept and horribly outdated visuals, this game dares to not only run at 30 frames but dip below it and reach 20 frames multiple times during every match.

Customization is fine for the most part but there isn't enough weapons, not enough attachments for them either. The only saving grace of this game is Predator, but you can only play him if you aren't in a party. WTF. Even in Friday the 13th, which came out 3 years ago, you could be in a party and still get Jason and try to kill your friends. Why do I have to host private matches for that?! This is absolutely horrid - the most fun you can have with this game, you can't have it with friends. Even for 40 dollars, this isn't worth it. If you're a Predator fan, wait for a sale. I feel bad for Illfonic, I like these guys. Please, do patch this game, add more maps, fix the AI, and make it so we could get Predator while in a party, please. For now, I'll be playing something else.… Expand

    The predator isn't even scary, it plays a very different game from yours making its appearance in a match just a slight annoyance.
    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+.

    Right the matchmaking time is horrible. I waited for like 20 mins to play the Predator. And till now I didn't get to play the predator.
    Its impossible to get a match with the Predator.
    They could have done something different like offline matches with AI. I knew this would happy cos almost half civilization wants to use the predator. No surprises there.

    Unplayable and clunky piece of garbage. Matchmaking takes A LOT of time and if you are lucky to find a game, then you're going to suffer. Shooting is bad, the game is buggy & the predator is underpowered.

    The only decent thing is graphics. Which is kinda ok-ish.

    I wish I could refund this.

    Game is really a 7 but I wanna balance out the haters. I'm a huge predator fan as I grew up on the original two films. And if you love those movies this is the best game to make you feel like your playing those movies. Games framerate will crap out when it's chaotic but it's very fun and has a good progression system.

    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.
