Predator: Hunting Grounds Reviews
It's not a bad game, and is fun for a weekend, but it doesn't offer enough to justify it's price tag.
The perfect alien hunter only gets a mediocre game with a lot of optimization

Predator: Hunting Grounds looks and sounds like Predator, but lacks the soul of the 1987 classic film. For being one of the most iconic hunters in the galaxy, the Predator feels weak compared to the vastly overpowered Fireteam. I never felt terrified of the Predator, and I think that's Hunting Grounds' most glaring issue. I'm invested enough in the Predator franchise to see what Illfonic has up their sleeves in terms of additional content for the game, but I find it hard to recommend to those who are looking for the ultimate Predator fantasy.
A technically not perfect title that is still fun, especially if you play the role of the ultimate predator, if you are passionate about the franchise and if you play in good company. Who knows if with the next DLC, one of which expects to be able to use Arnold already, and with some future patches, the game cannot improve significantly.

Predator: Hunting Grounds offers us a simple, direct and concise gameplay, that sins of simple past a few games. The truth is that it can be addictive, since if you do not care which side you are you can play games quickly, and the tension, as well as the development of the mission, are very well reflected.

I'm curious where Predator: Hunting Grounds will go from here given Sony's backing and IllFonic's takeaways from its prior game, Friday the 13th. Despite all the glaring issues, numerous nitpicks, and small scope, I have a real soft spot for this game. The concept deserves to grow and thrive for years.
Predator: Hunting Grounds is a decent multiplayer romp with just enough content and ideas to make it worthwhile. It's a huge improvement over Ifflonic's last game, Dead Alliance, and one that's definitely pumped up thanks to having a popular license to lean on.
Wether you're the hunter or the prey, Predator: Hunting Grounds is a fun asymmetrical game that honors the legacy of the Predator franchise. Sadly, technical problems and lack of content hurts the overall sense of enjoyment.

In its current state, however, it's best left to hardcore Predator fans insistent upon adding any related media to their collection.
Predator: Hunting Grounds is a multiplayer game to enjoy with friends. Sowing terror as a Predator by going through the jungle could be great, but the game needs to improve a few points. Although the title has major shortcomings, such as the lack of maps or long matchmaking times, the studio has designed a game that will please fans of Friday the 13th: The Game.

Predator Hunting Grounds could have been a good product, thanks to the franchise from which it draws inspiration, staging an engaging show capable of bringing to the field one of the most fascinating alien in the Hollywood history. Unfortunately, the realization of this title, as its brother Friday 13: The Game, makes it hard to be bought at full price, leaving us only the hope a good post launch support to save it from auto-destruction.

Predator: Hunting Grounds has remarkable potential. It has all the right ideas in place but desperately needs further polish and a dedicated player base to flesh it out. The thoughts I’ve shared probably sound incredibly critical, but I oddly feel like sticking around to see where it goes.
At its best, Predator: Hunting Grounds is a tense asymmetrical shooter that forces you to pay attention to your surroundings in a dense, jungle environment. At its worst, it’s a mess of waiting, loading and gunning down shoddy AI-villains in forgettable missions.
Predator: Hunting Grounds is bolstered by its unique gameplay dynamics and beloved license, but falls flat thanks to unbalanced and repetitive matches as well as a general lack of polish.
I was really hoping that this game would make me feel like a "goddamned sexual Tyrannosaurus" but unfortunately I'm sure Jesse Ventura's character would compare it to a wildly politically incorrect and anachronistic slur instead.
I enjoyed my time with Predator: Hunting Grounds. It's the first asynchronous multiplayer title in a while that has appealed to me, and it has already shown that it has its potential for fun. Nonetheless, it's a hard sell for a price of $40.
Predator is very popular movie and game character. But this time even his hand blades can't persuade to buy Hunting Grounds. Becouse lack of content and poor stability.

Predator: Hunting Grounds isn't bad at all, but it desperately needs more content and bugfixing. The core gameplay is very promising, though.

There is a glimmer of a diamond in Predator: Hunting Grounds, but it is surrounded by a lot of rough. The game is a lot of fun when you're playing with friends or even a well-coordinated group as the Fireteam, but balance issues with how the Predator can actually hunt the team or how the Fireteam can respond to an ill-equipped Predator truly keep it in a rough place as an asymmetrical multiplayer title. It has great ideas at its core but the execution at this stage isn't working, and with fine-tuning, it could be top tier.
Few contents compared to the competition. Various structural, as well as technical, issues. Fun only in the short term, and only with the right company.
