    Mammon's Gulch

    For the first time ever, Hunt: Showdown has moved out of the swamps of Louisianna and into the sprawling mountains of Colorado! Mammon's Gulch is Hunt's brand-new map that will bring mountains, stunning vistas, and grueling mines.

    Designed with community feedback in mind, Mammon's Gulch features 16 compounds and an entirely new series of strategic angles for keen Hunters. We received tons of feedback that players loved the verticality of DeSalle, so we brought even more of this to the new map—in fact, it has some of the highest elevation points in all our maps, so you'll be able to look out over compounds for enemy Hunters from above.     … Expand

    A nail-biting triumph that is without equal in the extraction shooter genre, Hunt: Showdown 1896’s eye-opening overhaul couldn’t come at a better time. With unmatched atmospherics, a thoroughly detailed world rife with grotesqueness to immerse yourself in and some of the most keenly honed risk and reward mechanics ever seen in the genre, Hunt: Showdown 1896 is arguably now more essential than it ever was.

    A technical spectacle with a superb setting, Hunt: Showdown 1896 is the perfect version of a game that already had great success. Tension-filled matches deliver a fascinating experience for players interested in Crytek's unique universe.

    The Hunt: Showdown 1896 might be the best extraction shooter out there right now. It marries weapons and traits into a meaningful character loadouts with solid gameplay mechanics set against a gritty, horrific world. But this won't be news to Hunt veterans, to whom this latest update and upgrade will ultimately be best enjoyed. The onboarding experience seems a bit of a bridge too far to really welcome in new blood to mire of the bayou or chill of the mountains. However, if you have some friends to jump in together, and if you're willing to stick it out to really level up in this game, you will surely be rewarded for your sweat and tears.

    I love the idea of Hunt: Showdown 1896, but in practise it's mostly abandoned by people either sprinting all the time or camping all the time. It's hard to "get good" in this game because, one; it doesn't tell you how to, so you have to watch youtube videos and read reddit threads to figure things as basic as what UI elements mean in the menus, and two; because everyone else is already good and you die before you can get anything done or learn anything. I've made some progress, but doing so was a frustrating and gruelling experience that wasn't entirely down to my own incompetence. If you're a glutton for punishment this could be the extraction shooter for you, but it's hard to recommend to anyone that isn't already embedded in it.
