Predator: Hunting Grounds Reviews
A very careful artistic design, a "movie" sound section and a very addictive gameplay we can say without fear of being mistaken that Predator Hunting Ground holds the title of being the best adaptation made of the 1987 film.

I already loved this game on PS4 and now that IllFonic has been freed from the Sony exclusivity; Predator: Hunting Grounds for the Series X and PS5 feels like such an improvement over the original. With its upgraded visuals, enhanced performance and engaging gameplay, it offers an exciting experience to the asymmetrical genre. If you are a fan of the Predator franchise then this should already be on your list, but even if you just want a thrilling multiplayer shooter, Predator: Hunting Grounds is worth checking out.
Drastic improvements made to the core gameplay of Predator: Hunting Grounds vastly enhances the overall experience, making for a much more polished and better game than the one I played back in 2020. Predator: Hunting Grounds deserves a second chance.
Predator: Hunting Grounds is a great addition to the multiplayer shooter genre, with plenty of fun to be had regardless of which side you choose to play.
The predator is back

Outside of some obvious glaring issues, Predator: Hunting Grounds is a fun multiplayer game that is still one of the best uses of a license since the Arkham series.
Predator: Hunting Grounds is a fantastic game to enjoy whenever you're in the mood for some chaotic and overly violent online multiplayer action. With that being said, playing it in long sessions will make the experience wear thin sooner rather than later.
Predator: Hunting Grounds is a 4v1 asymmetrical multiplayer game that pits a fireteam against the deadly Predator. Gameplay is tense and enjoyable on both ends, but if you want to play as the Predator, then queue times are currently much longer. It's best played in bursts of a few hours at most.
Not the prettiest game on the market: Check. Absolutely needs Quality of Life improvements: Check. Comes complete with a plethora of wonky glitches: Check. However, it finds that sweet spot where the hook just plain works. The reward of leveling and loot, the stress of scanning the treetops when you hear that Preda-purr, and the satisfaction of systematically wiping out an entire fireteam; it all just works.
Hunting Grounds sets the table for thrilling cat-and-mouse battles or embarrassing farces; the quality of each match is ultimately up to players. When everyone's dialed into their roles, it's a lot of fun
Predator: Hunting Grounds has a lot of potential that is currently not being exploited. The asymmetrical game principle is basically well implemented, but unfortunately it is thrown over by the immature balancing. The template is made for this and it is to be hoped that Illfonic will add a little more. Revise the balancing, add a few maps and please improve the technique a little bit, then the whole thing can still develop.

The next-gen update to Predator: Hunting Grounds unfortunately doesn't fix the core issues that the gameplay has. Long matchmaking times (presumably due to a small player base), limited gameplay options and the inherent problems present in asymmetrical multiplayer games (that one person who quits immediately if they don't get to be the Predator, you know who you are) are all still here.
Much like a real hunt, Predator: Hunting Grounds rewards patience. Wading through the questionable technical performance and perplexing design gives persistent Predators a multiplayer experience that flourishes as its cat-and-mouse gameplay reveals itself like a newly uncloaked Yautja.
Predator: Hunting Grounds has several good ideas that result in a quite fun asymmetric multiplayer that, unfortunately, falls into monotony rather quickly, and does not meet many of the objectives it sets.

When it wants to imitate the 1987 movie, Predator: Hunting Grounds is a lot of fun, but doesn't really have anything past that
I’ve been enjoying my time with Predator: Hunting Grounds but it leaves plenty of room for skepticism. For a $40 product it really lacks content right now and it needs further improvements in some key areas to be great. That said you can tell a lot of care went into making sure the Predator played great and that the game felt like the original movie. If you can get a good group together you can have a lot of fun with this one.
Illfonics respectable efforts are recognised here, and have shown slight improvement over their survival horror title. It certainly is in need of improvements, but you will have a fun playing this title. For however long though, is at your discretion.
The game have hunted down a recommendation of 7 points out of 10. It's a nice surprise to watch how the developers took over other famous film brands, worked it out greatly and added a couple of easter eggs, which will make fans all the more happy. However, the game has its mistekes, which reduce its quality. Players can leave the game soon, so developers must try to fix any bugs and deliver new content on a regular basis. Either way, good luck hunting! Or actually escpaing… you know what? Just enjoy the game.

Predator Hunting Grounds offers an interesting yet limited online experience. The marked difference between the human combatant side and the relentless star hunter creates a consistent and enjoyable gameplay experience. But, for now, also limited in scenarios and ways of playing. Nor does the current problematic matchmaking help. Time will tell how this promising proposal from Illfonic and Sony evolves.

Predator: Hunting Grounds isn’t perfect, but it does a good job of offering a fun action-packed multiplayer romp with one of cinema’s deadliest warriors. It’s enjoyable playing as both the Fireteam and the Predator, so you’re in for a good time no matter who you play as. There’s plenty of gear to earn through progression too, so you’ll always have new weapons, perks, and equipment to customise your loadouts with. It is a shame that there aren’t more maps to play through though, whilst some performance issues and inconsistent gameplay mechanics do hamper the experience in places. Overall though, Predator: Hunting Grounds certainly has more good than bad and it’s easy to find yourself completely engrossed into the experience. Let’s just hope that Illfonic keep supporting the game with additional content and updates over the coming months…
