THE UNDERDOG
Hunt: showdown doesn't feel like a battle royale. It's a coop game and the best one at that.
This game is still in early access but it is so unique in everything it does it's just a must buy. Since I bouht it two weeks ago I haven't touched any other game in my steam library and have been playing 2/3h per day.
The game has a very steep learning curve so I strongly advise finding someone to play with on the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ discord server or buy it with a friend.
If you are able to get over the initial frustration of getting headshotted by really good players, you will find out the game is extremely well balanced and you will learn how to survive a lot of the situations that got yourself killed in the first place. Hunt is half strategy and half good aim, if either of those fail you will get punished the hard way; while being so brutal it teaches you that every decision counts.
Writing a wall of text as a review is not my cup of tea (go watch a few videos on youtube idk), so my advice is to just buy it already and try it yourself; if you are into tactical/hardcore fps games you will 100% enjoy this game.
EDIT: the 1.0 release update changed the game quite a lot but I will not be one of those bitter ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that give a bad review because "my elite control settings changed gnegne", this game is still worth a buy even if i hope the devs acknowledge that the direction they are taking with the changes that were made pre release (choosing the larger casual audience instead of passionate fans) is wrong. This is still the most fun you can have on the market but before it was even better.
