Hunt: Showdown is challenging, nerve-wracking, and a sleeper hit everyone needs to try. While the learning curve early is steep and the tutorial is in desperate need of a makeover, online resources can get you successfully hunting in no time. A variety of weapons and unlocks with permadeath (past bloodline [account] level 11) means there's replayability galore, and an even playing field as far as equipment is concerned. With a deadeye you can outplay people with "easier to use" weapons than you may currently have equipped and the maps feel fresh each round. Best with a group of 3, hunt: showdown is worth every single penny and I can see a bright future ahead of it with the success of the recent scrapbeak event.
