- I love the idea of Hunt: Showdown 1896, but in practise it's mostly abandoned by people either sprinting all the time or camping all the time. It's hard to "get good" in this game because, one; it doesn't tell you how to, so you have to watch youtube videos and read reddit threads to figure things as basic as what UI elements mean in the menus, and two; because everyone else is already good and you die before you can get anything done or learn anything. I've made some progress, but doing so was a frustrating and gruelling experience that wasn't entirely down to my own incompetence. If you're a glutton for punishment this could be the extraction shooter for you, but it's hard to recommend to anyone that isn't already embedded in it.
Gareth Chadwick · Oct 15, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - The Hunt: Showdown 1896 might be the best extraction shooter out there right now. It marries weapons and traits into a meaningful character loadouts with solid gameplay mechanics set against a gritty, horrific world. But this won't be news to Hunt veterans, to whom this latest update and upgrade will ultimately be best enjoyed. The onboarding experience seems a bit of a bridge too far to really welcome in new blood to mire of the bayou or chill of the mountains. However, if you have some friends to jump in together, and if you're willing to stick it out to really level up in this game, you will surely be rewarded for your sweat and tears.
Rob Larkin · Sep 19, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Hunt: Showdown will go down in the annals of not merely extraction shooters, but of first-person shooters in general. Hunt: Showdown 1896 will (currently) go down as an… appreciated-if-also-misguided expansion/revival that's capable of reaching those empyrean heights in due time. Past the nettlesome launch-window complaints, certain design nuances – both on and off the map – lead to something that partially dampens its legacy in understated ways. At the same time, most of the fundamentals that made Crytek's shooter what it is still result in some of my favorite multiplayer memories in recent history.
Lee Mehr · Sep 17, 2024 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - A nail-biting triumph that is without equal in the extraction shooter genre, Hunt: Showdown 1896’s eye-opening overhaul couldn’t come at a better time. With unmatched atmospherics, a thoroughly detailed world rife with grotesqueness to immerse yourself in and some of the most keenly honed risk and reward mechanics ever seen in the genre, Hunt: Showdown 1896 is arguably now more essential than it ever was.
John-Paul Jones · Aug 22, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - 作为一款节奏独特的“撤离类游戏”，《猎杀：对决1896》的复杂度可以说已经足以俯瞰不少的游戏，也因此，它能在战术、枪战等各个方面都独树一帜。如果你平时玩游戏总是以“想点子”的方法取胜，那这将是一款不可错过的优秀游戏。河口镇需要你这样的“点子王”。
固态软盘 · Aug 16, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Whatever Crytek had in mind for Hunt: Showdown 1896, they definitely got a bullseye on the target because the game delivers everything it promised, and then there are some more with brass knuckles and no punches held! If you want a gruesome game to spike your dopamine and adrenaline in a way only a few games can, grab Hunt: Showdown 1896. Pick your hunter, choose your loadout, and get to some rootin' tootin' cowboy shootin' 'cause this one's a silver bullet in the darkness of the genre.
Azario Lopez · Aug 16, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Um espetáculo em termos técnicos e com ambientação soberba, Hunt: Showdown 1896 é a versão perfeita para um jogo que já possuía grande destaque. Partidas recheadas de tensão entregam uma experiência fascinante para jogadores que se interessam pelo universo único da Crytek.

About the game
Trailers & Screenshots:
Hunt: Showdown 1896 is a new era of the addictively unforgiving extraction shooter. In corrupted backwaters lost to history, fight back alone – or with friends – against timeless evil. Twisted monsters and other ruthless Hunters stand between you and your Bounty. Risk everything as Hunt consumes you.
Bounty Hunt: Take rich bounties and kill anyone that tries to stop you – and they will try. Race competing Hunters to track down bosses, send them to hell, claim their bounty, and fight your way to extract. If others only slow you down, go alone. If you find strength in numbers, take up to two teammates along.
Progression and Permadeath: Risk everything to unlock dark powers and forbidden wealth. Every bullet counts. Every wound hurts. And every death is permanent. But if you succeed, every victory will be unforgettable.
Atmosphere and Sound Design: Hear footsteps squelch in the mud as you wait with bated breath to strike. The world speaks. Every gunshot is a message; every howling dog a klaxon. Gramophones murmur with the haunting melodies of Port Sulphur Band. Listen, and you might live to die another day.
Constantly Evolving Game: Keep striving for more, the world is always growing. Frequent updates challenge you with new Events, expand your arsenal of weapons, introduce new characters, and offer the chance to get ornate rewards. Join the thriving Hunt community, stay informed, and get an edge over the Corruption.
