Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
61 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Hunt: Showdown is a unique game on the market: there’s no other shooter with this exact Western setting, 1890s weapons, strong atmosphere, and a lore‐driven world with interesting characters and stories.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Although most guns one-shot to the head, and may only require two or three to the chest, guns tend to be slow firing so firefights can be long and drawn out, which makes for rewarding gameplay if you win them.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Couple that with the incredible atmosphere and aesthetic, the insanely good sound design, the music, the weapon feel, etc., and you get the best extraction shooter on the market easily in my opinion.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The more I play the game the more I appreciate the depth of skill and gameplay involved in this FPS.
