Gave this gem a lil Spin and it just honestly a fun experience. every run is rewarding and just slamming dopamine into your system and you return for more. Will now do a drag race on the highway to cooldown

If this was base Hunt:Showdown I would recommend it. How ever the good idea of Over-Hauling (that no one asked for) the game was executed with more or less barbarity, With the graphical update they pulled a Microsoft and basically told any user, playing on an older machine or console to go do one you have to fork out money to get a newer console your upgrade you PC But don't you worry, even with a 3060 the menu EAT EVERY SCRAP IT CAN because of a million sprites in the background. The UI is even after "fixing" it 3(Now 4) times is still unruly and maze like. And once you managed to get to the place you want to be for example Perks, you have to set the filter every time you first boot the game. Now congratulations you got a hunter and set some perk maybe even braved it looked for the loadouts interface! Now the game it self.
You arrive in a harsh world where the server rubber bands or just causal delay on the hit boxes. (witness a round fly past my head far to the left while I am solidly behind cover but the game decided that was a magic bullet head-shotting me, have video footage of many delay issues)
I will say I appreciate and enjoy the bullet drop now and the added joy of all headshots one shot one kills but I wont matter because half the geometry has invisible collisions, But not loving the fact everyone is liberally using explosive rounds to counter this latency issue.
The new game-mode is kinda interesting take but with it draw backs, I feel Crytek wanting to push Hunt into the boundaries of CoD which is absolutely why we are not here for (CoD is free btw I Don't pay for games for the CoD like experience) And the bigger F if you are a solo player and the new game mode is exclusively trios, so unless your some super FPS gamer or flat out cheating - solos are gonna have to suffer.
Now Crytek openly say they're working on it but however more effort is being put into making new games modes as a quick dirty plaster of the "whoopsies of 1986." So the race is on between Hunt being slowly strangled to death by terrible choices with no QA or Crytek pushing through and fixing theses horrible issues with the UI and the Latency/delay on the server.

Also if you feel like messaging Crytek personally you can but they will get back to you within the month and give generic Lip service. Humble advice for the people thinking about getting Hunt, don't wait till real significant fixes have been made. If you had the luxury of the ante-1986 'Please kindly vacate the ride - the fun is now over'

To address the "UI Improvement Update"
You have literally done nothing. The navigation of that main menu is still awful. Why you don't take that out put the old one back in place, while you fix that monstrosity is beyond me. it is still vastly unruly.
What also concerns me is the fact the actual game play is still delayed making bolt action shoot out unpredictable and unmanageable people will lean towards spray and pray (Which frightened me when I saw that repeating gun)

-Edit-
Dear PlayStation - Your treacherous acts have been noted and you will not stand in the way of Democracy, Liberty and Freedom! We shall shoot on site!

This Negative review is nothing to do with the developers, or the game.
I want it to be know I have played many hours that I could on this game and had an amazing blast with it enjoyed fighting the bugs and swearing at the robots. Only had a hand full of issues with the game and multiplayer had it issues as you always get. Watching explosions, being engaged into dangerous situations and feeling completely satisfied when completing a mission! And wanting for more!
But unfortunately PlayStation is now being Uncle Scrooge DEMANDING players to login to their network. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE! Nor is it needed or required for any reason besides them collecting your data.
Yes I am aware that it was disabled at the start, but to hide behind to ban players easier is utter nonsense, you still have cheaters on your platform too we all do!
And instead of PlayStation using their eyes and going we got something here that brilliant and amazing lets leave it be they put there fingers in deeper demanding more. And as we all can see it has posed negatively on the game, and the only losers here is us the consumers and the developers.

~Short version
- Devs your ace thank you for running Helldivers 2 and making a narrative and developing this game It was absolutely amazing. If you can some how get away from PlayStation we will be back!
- Publishers - Bad, I used to respect you in my youth playing on the PlayStation 1 to 4 (but got even less and less reasons to play on your platform)

One of the Few modern Triple A titles that I actually like, its such of a beautiful graphics, story-line, and game mechanics are just flat out stunning and not a game you'll blast in 4 hours to do the main story

A really cool casual game, build your tiny dingy to pick up some folk and before you know it you start trying to build a sub which semi works

Basics works really well and advance is there only if you can handle it

Good to play with friends would actuly recommend

Not terribly keen on the graphics, but as a gameplay value is intresting considering you need to play with others and the whole toxic nature of the internet in 2019

For the people who once played Theme Hospital, This is a goto game its not completly like Bull Frogs great creation but its close with alot of additions with it

The game play is quite fun however getting into the game is somthing else.
If you get this game you will spend about 1-2 hours trying with getting some times failure to join, and if by chance you get get into lobby you then have to attempt to get a game which in it self can also fail, if it does you will instantly get put back into the que once more.

My recommendation is wait for comfromation from sources that this basic issue is sorted.

This game is just wacky.
Brilliant way to impement loadouts with out applying overpowered weaponry. Fully Customisable Rifles which can be changed into a shotgun or blunderbus to a Assult rifle back to a SMG or a heavy Sniper Rifle. And if that wasn't cool enough go around Headshotting your team with the heal payload. Just insane.

Graphicly speaking isn't revolutionary, but how ever very well made and placed. Very cartoony but not crappy. Loving the fact that I can have my head blown off but carry on with a floating brain with eyes not giving a single care in the world.

Gamemodes are brilliantly comedic instead of CTF its capture the hammer, oh did I mention that the hammer you can smash your foes with? not only that it adds to your teams score when you capture it.

Serously the damn game if free. It ain't gonna harm you and you will get boundless joys out of it.
