This is my review after playing patch 0.1.1 and down of the hunt.
1. Server Stability issue: The servers go down almost daily, leaving players frustrated. It's hard to imagine how they plan to manage a full release as a free-to-play game.

2. Leveling Experience: Leveling up feels miserable with melee classes. The mobs overpower you while you're struggling to deal enough damage. The developers claimed they wanted to slow things down, but they've just ruined the fun. After the Dawn of the Hunt patch, nobody in dev team seems to have thought about how to implement slower gameplay effectively. Instead, they simply added more health and damage to mobs! resulting in players dying in every encounter. If they had just given players more defense, it might have been possible to stand in a fight and enjoy executing combos.

3. Repetitive Campaign Requirement: To reach the endgame, you must complete three acts of the campaign twice. While this might be tolerable in an early-access game, it becomes unbearable when you're forced to replay it for every new season. Worse, there's no option to change your class specialization. you have to replay those three acts twice just to test another specialization. Why you force player to repeat campaign for every season and with every character. this is so exhausting way.

4. Optimization Failures: The dev team seems clueless about what "optimization" truly means. They’ve added more graphics and using AI-generated maps (which is a good touch), but every fight comes with unbearable FPS drops, performance spikes, and instability. Things get worse when the Infernalist class is involved in fight, it can single handedly freeze your game. Even with no players around, maintaining 60 FPS is a struggle.

5. Endgame Frustrations and Loot Issues: As mentioned before, there’s no option to experiment with your class, forcing players into a long grind to reach endgame content. Once there, you have to spamming the map key without any worthwhile drops. To make matters worse, you must sacrifice your damage and defense stats to boost your gear’s Luck —why is this necessary?!! The grind feels even more punishing when you're trying to level up your character without useful items. If you're playing a weaker class (and let's face it, most of them are garbage, apart from a few META builds), mobs become impossible to kill even with decent gear.

at start game looks nice and cool with lots of improvements but after playing few stages you realize how bad it is.
physic of WRC5 and 6 was good enough to don't hurt your gameplay and i can say that was fine in overall. but here in WRC7, physic is like something that developer never heard about. your car bounce over the place's like a fidget ball and the level design just make it more horrible. not to mention that even goes much fun when you see car spinning in air because of 5cm rock.

reset on track that i talked about in WRC5 and 6 review, got his way to another level in some stages of WRC7, now its randomly reset you even if you where in middle of the road.

graphic and visual part of the game didn't change, they used same texture of WRC6 just with more grasses and tree. the lighting is worst part of it.

gameplay and handling now far away from being realistic and can't even say its arcade.

lets talk about the reason that convinced me to not talk about improvements : Achievements
there is a fookiyung achievements that wants you to drive 5000 Km and the fun part is it didn't count in online. 500 Km on snow and there is only 4 stage available for it :)
its take 30+ hours

just SKIP WRC6 and 7 definitely not recommending

compare to WRC 5 , this game got some real improvements

+ more vibrant graphic as we expected ( screen shots in store page not match with in game color saturation )
+ better visual damage
+ more destructible part
+ better camera angle with some action
+ better engine sound but still all cars sounds the same
+ your tyre gets puncture ?!
+ finally we have split-screen option

- there are some weird achievements that's take more than 30+ hour to achieve
- some corners have weird reset-on-track spots.
- online feature is dead
- WRC5 menu was much simpler with clear information
- almost no graphic optimization
- you can't kucfing run over people !!! ╰（‵□′）╯
- there is not much to offer compare to rally game in same year of release or before

still recommend to play because don't want to see this game buried in negative recommendations, but if there was an option in between i would choose that.

here's some tip for run the game :
set the game on borderless with v-sync on ( make sure your desktop run with 60hz or higher so you get the exact same frame rate )
play with manual gear shift, there is no option for semi-automatic
game got enough content to enjoy no need to buy DLCs

- no split screen option
- online is dead
- almost all car engines sound like a blender
- minimal visual damage

+ acceptable graphic for a 2015 game, perfect optimization
+ backfire (～￣▽￣)～
+ lots of stage to play
+ configuration for cars ( not work perfectly but atleast we have it xD )

story was good and normal in overall but predictable and short there really isn't enough content to justify the price tag, as you see everyone in the comment's say this game should've been a DLC.
characters ... i don't know what to say about them just can say it in my language (خیلی تو کون نرو هستن)

CO-OP system got really big issues like quest and story only progress for host but you can carry weapon and perk upgrade to your own game.


gameplay also good in overall,
+ gunfight feels good
+ good variety of gun's and vehicle
+ taking outpost and expedition missions are the best part of the game
+ upgrading system for gun damage
- they simply removed gun customization.
- side quest are boring like all other ubisoft game's.
- higher tier enemies are literally bullet sponges.

graphic and optimization is epic, game run's smoothly with ultimate setting (card : GTX 1070)
more vibrant than farcry 5 but there is too much pink color.

still recommend this game but not on full price.

Honestly this game still good after all these years but, i'm not gonna recommend you to play this trash. like all other ubisoft games you have to REPLAY 4-5 missions through all the story line ( going to view point, saving people, pickpocketing and some punch !! ) even mobile games have more options nowadays. the only thing good about this game is story and sadly this part is not completely accurate.
visual and atmosphere are good in general (compared to other games in 2008 it's an absolute garbage).
A.I(NPC) are dumb as CUFK (you'd think this game about assassins so stealth would be nice but you find all enemies saying an stupid dialog while looking at you in the eyes) mission design is absolutely horrendous there is no logical way to finish a mission in steals and this is while the game emphasizes to killing people in shadows at the very beginning.

at the end if you wanna start Assassins creed series from the beginning just skip this one and watch it on youtube or something and stop wasting your time and money <3

as you see, i spent lots of time for this game but at this point , i think its enough.

i will come back when you guys decide to unblock servers for iranian people
