The game is praised a lot by people who left Tarkov for it. And I can see the point, Tarkov being overall not fun for a lot of people. The formula of Hunt is exciting and really nice. The game has an unique style and can bring a lot of joy.

However, this review is for Steam and you're probably wondering if you should spend money on Hunt. The answer is no, unless you don't mind a technical hellscape this game has become over the course of 4 years. It's difficult to find a game with such little love given to it from the developers. Crytek takes on average 3 to 4 years to fix a single bug in game - a bug that can be breaking. The game doesn't even have a properly working reconnect option. The servers regularly stutter, lag or just outright die. You can get used to these, but it's painful and... is it worth your nerves?

Also, the game has cheaters problem. The identical case as in PUBG - if you see players with chinese letters as their nicknames, expect suspicious performance from them. Also expect to meet people 3-4 tiers above you, as you start your first game - the MMR system is broken and matchmaking is a tragedy. The Avtomat is still a thing and despite 90% of the community resenting it, Crytek doesn't care. Crytek won't care about you if you buy this game. They don't deserve your money in my opinion.

UPDATED AS OF 2025: Two years later not much has changed, ahahaha. Except they added a new horrible UI and keep refusing to listen to player feedback, forcing some poor ass changes nobody wants.
