For a game that is this hardscrabble and sweaty, Hunt: Showdown is surprisingly accessible and friendly to newer players. You do have to go in with the understanding that you are going to die, a lot, and that's okay. If you can look past the loss of items and characters on a regular basis and fall in love with the gameplay loop, it's a complete blast. I've been thinking about it nonstop for the last couple weeks.
