Put it all together, and it is not hard to see where Hunt the Night succeeds the most. The way combat flows, the flexibility of how players can build out Vesper to be the Stalker they want, and the delicate balance between challenge and entertainment both in exploration and in battle. While the game may not be for everyone, there is certainly a place in the ranks for a visually beautiful title that plays to its strength in many aspects, even if it feels like we have seen it all before.
Hunt the Night has a few flaws, but they didn’t stop me from enjoying this dark and challenging action-packed romp. The combat is exciting and strategic, the world design is gorgeous and offers plenty to discover, whilst the clear Bloodborne-inspired vibe ticked plenty of the right boxes for me. Hunt the Night really has a lot going for it, and whilst the difficulty can be a little brutal at times, it never stopped me from enjoying my journey across the dangerous land of Melhram.
An intense gameplay from fast phased souls-like combat, as well as visuals and scores that complete the dark fantasy worldview, are definitely a satisfactory. However, some of the elements such as insufficient accessibility functions and unclear map composition are still preventing players to immerse themselves.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing Hunt The Night and highly recommend players check it out. When the game suggested playing with earphones and a controller, they weren’t kidding. The controls felt tight and accurate to use.
Hunt the Night is a solid hack'n'slash with pleasant pixelart graphics style and atmospheric OST.

While it’s only on PC for now, console players should fully prepare for a dive into Hunt the Night later this year as a serious contender for a 2D soulslike that brings the ambience, the horror, and the satisfaction that can only come from an excellent experience.
Hunt the Night attempts at being a difficult top-down action game, but because of its frustrating gameplay and poor design the real difficulty is wanting to pick it up again.
Hunt the Night is a beautiful game with simple yet engaging gameplay that fans of 16-bit action games like Castlevania will enjoy. Although the story is poorly presented at times, it is still interesting, and the world around you is crafted well enough to suck you in even if you have no idea what’s going on. With its stunning visuals, challenging difficulty, and love for classic action games, Hunt the Night is definitely worth a playthrough.
Bloodborne meets Legend of Zelda worked out much better than I would’ve ever hoped. The bosses can have quite the malicious edge to them, especially a supremely sadistic second boss, and the platforming can be, quite literally, hit or miss. Nonetheless, the combat is so fluid but focused that it’s hard not to fall in love with how it handles. Cleaving apart zombies, then immediately whipping around to pistol-snipe a wolf all set to a firm and punchy soundtrack is just icing on the cake, especially with the added flavor the better bosses bring to the table.
