    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.

There are objectives, the AI could be better, but can still challenge you, ESPECIALLY when you are simultaneously being attacked by both the AI and the Predator. The controls are excellent, the devotion to the Movies is what sets this apart, you can tell the developers are fans of the movies. GREAT JOB, BUY IT AND EJOY!!… 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.

    There are problems with the game balance in the game itself. I will say in advance that I mainly play for the Squad and do not vote for either side.

    * Squad problems: 1) Matches are too fast. 15 minutes are allotted for the match, but the Squad can simply rush all the quests in 5 minutes. Yes, a predator can “facerush”, but it will not be the Predator, but the Slasher (in which the    There are problems with the game balance in the game itself. I will say in advance that I mainly play for the Squad and do not vote for either side.

    * Squad problems:
    1) Matches are too fast. 15 minutes are allotted for the match, but the Squad can simply rush all the quests in 5 minutes.
    Yes, a predator can “facerush”, but it will not be the Predator, but the Slasher (in which the Predator will be the victim as a result).
    2) Bots are too fat. Really annoying at a half-store in the head to shoot everyone.
    3) AI is stupid. No positioning, etc., etc. They just run forward. It's boring. You can sit in the house and cut them with a knife on CD.
    4) Again AI. Periodically absolutely do not react to noise nearby. In theory, they should turn on the siren from any loud shot. This will motivate the squad to play maximum stealth.
    5) Again AI. Periodically ignores the Predator, giving preference to focus on the Order. It looks very strange when Berserk calmly jumps into the camp during the shootout and starts to drive the Detachment around the camp - while the AI ​​also shoots at the Detachment.
    6) Also, the squad needs air as a friendlifter. It is very easy to beat off from the Predator of the Teimet by throwing it with grenades and pouring it from miniguns. Really?
    7) Another annoying moment: quests triggering spawn bots. What is the point of secretly sneaking into the camp, eliminating everyone by stealth, then activating the quest and spawning bots that again provoke noise and attract the Predator? Playing solo against Predator 1x1 is very difficult in such conditions.

    Solutions:
    - 1) Reduce the walking / running speed of the Voodoo.
    - 1) Increase the execution time of each of the quests.
    - 1) Increase the number of additional quests.
    - 2) Make bots thinner, but increase their number.
    - 3) Teach you how to use shelters.
    - 4) Increase the radius of reaction to noise.
    - 5) Balance AI targeting.
    - 6) Add to the Vodoo friendlifayer.
    - 7) Add the condition that if there is no alarm in the camp, then there will be no triggering spawn of agressive bots after quest.

    * Predator problems:
    1) Very slow climbing, running and jumping speeds on trees, even taking into account the choice of the desired class and perks. The predator, in theory, should very quickly overtake the Detachment, play with them like a cat with mice. But in reality they barely catch up when they sprint in the sprints for the next quest.
    2) To further reduce the noise of stamping, grunting, sounds of Predator devices. The predator, again, in theory, should terrorize the squad. But in the current build, the top strategy is Berserk YOLO 1x4.
    3) Weak traps (network, trap, etc., etc.).
    4) A long matchmaking search for the Predator.

    Solutions:
    - 1) Increase the mobility of the Predator in the trees (including reducing the stamina consumption for jumping, running, but not for blows).
    - 2) Decrease the volume of all moves and devices of the Predator.
    - 2) Add to the Predator the possibility of stealth from the back to kill the Squad (just like he kills bots).
    - 3) Increase difficulty / time in order to get out of the traps. Increase trap damage.
    - 4) Motivate Players more often / play more for the Squad. For example, add a multiplier to the experience when playing for the Squad.

    In general, I am my vision of the game so that the matches were a little longer, exhausting and more horror for the Squad. To make it hard for a squad to win. And so that the Predator for victory would act more elegantly, and not stupidly burst in like John Cena 1x4 for the first three minutes.
    Most of the issues are solved without any new functionality, but with the usual balancing of values.    … Expand

    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.

    Just a ton of fun either playing as Predator and FT. First day may have had some slower times, but that's fixed and people keep getting better and playing the game on both sides. Matches are getting intense, and always different! Even if you're not a fan of the movies this is recommended for hours of fun

    Took a bit of a chance on this one. Though I more than got my money's worth from Ilfonic's last release (Friday the 13th), I wasn't sure how well they would manage another game with a similar multiplayer setup, but with traditional FPS elements.

    They've also played to their strengths, using music and sound design to immerse you in the atmosphere of the original 1987 film. The Predator player has the option to gain HP by killing NPCs, and hearing a distant scream among the other (brilliantly done) rain-forest sounds, while your team is transversing the map, is very effective.

    I haven't had a chance to play as the Predator yet, but given the results of the matches I've played over the last 24hrs, it appears pretty well balanced. Hopefully the player-base stays solid.

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    Predator Hunting Grounds is a flawed yet incredibly fun & addictive Asymmetric Multiplayer game. 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.
