Hunt: Showdown Reviews
Hunt: Showdown is a cooperative and competitive multiplayer FPS that knows how to innovate by adding enough PVE elements to games and a double progress system, which allows the application of permanent death to our hunters, without losing the feeling of progress. All this wrapped in a high-level audiovisual section, especially the sound section, which directly affects the gameplay brilliantly. It is an exclusively multiplayer game and its future will depend on achieving a stable and healthy community, but we can see that the game has potential for it.

By a seemingly well-done combination of PvE and PvP elements, Crytek has done a great job in depicting the risky life of a bounty hunter, stuck in a post apocalypse in late 1890s. Realistic combat and the astonishing atmosphere of Hunt: Showdown provide a great opportunity for players who want to experience survival horror and battle royale together, like no other game. However, relatively clunky gunplay and somehow poor graphical optimization are two things that prevent this game from becoming a masterpiece

Hunt: Showdown's take on PvPvE is elevated by its masterful horror elements, great world design, and addicting gameplay loop.
Hunt: Showdown is a triumphant return from to steller form for Crytek. The subtle nuances, innovative gameplay mechanics and multiplayer PVP with PVE elements truly set this game apart from anything else that is out there right now.
Aside from rare connection issues, Hunt: Showdown is unequivocally one of the best PvPvE experiences of this generation. It’s certainly not for everyone, but if you’re a junkie for hardcore, competitive, survival-based multiplayer in a horrific setting, I strongly recommend paying a visit to the bayou.
Hunt Showdown is a worthy alternative to the usual multiplayer types out there, and it deserves to be seen as an important step in how the future of multiplayer shooters goes.
I love what this game strives for, and I love how it plays out. Crytek excels in immersion and they have done an incredible job with Hunt: Showdown. Highly recommended if you have friends to partner up with, as server issues seem to plague it in its early days.
Hunt : Showdown is fantastic. The pleasure is immediate and very long-lasting as long as its difficulty does not upset you. It's a visceral and immersive experience that you should absolutely not miss if you are a fan of cooperative games. After 202 hours spent on it, starting from the first days of its Early Access, the situation is clear : Hunt: Showdown is an amazing FPS and it won't be forgotten.

An incredibly tense survival horror multiplayer FPS, where you are just as likely to die at the hands of a monster as you are another player. Listening out for enemy activity is crucial, and once you learn how all of its systems work Hunt: Showdown is a an extremely satisfying game.
With its evocative setting and a delectable mix of PvE and PvP gameplay that provides a peerless theater for emergent player stories, Hunt: Showdown is an exceptionally clever and thoughtful shooter that elevates the genre as a whole. I can see Hunt Showdown being a fixture of my gaming diet for months, even years to come.
Perhaps the greatest achievement of Hunt is that it has taken the unknowable, unexpected possibility space of something like Day-Z, and boiled it down to something you can, and must, play in under an hour.
If you are tired of multiplayer battle royale and are looking for something more similar to Monster Hunter where you form a team, but without worrying about the threat of other online players, Hunt: Showdown is an excellent candidate to get together with your friends and spend some terrifying and great times.

“While Hunt: Showdown gives players a high calibre atmosphere to play in, the steep learning curve and difficulty for new players to survive encounters with veterans may give it problems in gathering a large player base.”
In combining an open world monster-rush format with PUBG-esque PvP, Crytek has crafted a stealth survival game like few others.
