The game isn't perfect and the developer decision to hold off getting assistance with the game was daft, however, this is a very immersive game with some excellent upsides served with a slice of bugs.

What a truly fantastic experience. A great Co-op game with fantastic visuals and excellent polished gameplay. I wholeheartedly disagree with complaints that the difficult is to easy, it is a game designed for anyone to play and experienced and not designed to gatekeep any mechanics. In my girlfriends own words "This is a game where I felt I had an impact and was not just a passenger"

Tried a game, I was expecting a thriller style game hunt game. This game had no atmosphere what so ever, I didn't feel like i was being hunted, just running blood. Wouldn't pay for it.

Played Hunt:Showdown in the Alpha for a week prior to the Beta launch.

Even in that week the game has gone through a number of play changes and server stability improvements.

It's an great premise, I really enjoy teaming up with a friend and getting into the many strategies available to players in this PVPvE arena game.

What's good
-The map design, each location has it's own traits, though beware with the many updates that have been coming they are changing constantly
-The guns feel great to shoot and unforgiving enough to punish bad players
-A headshot is a headshot!
-Not knowing how many players are left in the server. This really can add to the tension especially between 2 good teams, I won't lie this gae is not for the lazy run and gun player.
The enviromental queues, crows, glass, horses etc Take care or everyone knows where you have been.
-The game punishes bad play
-Each round the interplay between teams makes for it's own puzzle to solve. Whilst the Boss might spawn in the same place, but the play around the boss will change
-Permadeath ADDs to the game, weigh the risk!
-Not much graphical difference between low and high option. Turn down setting and enjoy the free FPS

Whats could be improved
-Bugs, yes there are some, they aren't as dramatic as some other reviews claim, worse I've had is falling through the floor by the ladders at the church. This game is EARLY ACCESS, is not launching for a long time and changes every few days. Do not purchase if you don't want to help the developement of the product.
- Weapons are extremely limited, 5 guns, maybe 6? just with differents attachments which don't add a lot of value.
- Playing with random players is a waste of time. They'll shoot guns randomly and spook everything
- Boss monsters can swing through walls, I don't include this as a bug but feels bad as a player
- Farm players, these players join games and try to afk kill zombies for exp then evac after a short while. There needs to be something that limits exp gains after a cap of Zombie kills.
-DO NOT BUY IF FAR FROM EU or NA THERE ARE NO SERVERS OUTSIDE THESE REGIONS YET!
-Not much graphical difference between low and high option. Turn down setting and enjoy the free FPS (Yes I put this in good and bad)

Just a last note
If you feel the map needs more players, this probably won't be the game for you. The map is far to busy to have 20+ players running around.
