TNS: "The Murder Circus event is bringing sinister clowns to the swamps. Here's what's wrong with Post Malone's Hunt: Showdown collab."
Despite its server issues, UI problems, and high-rank toxicity, when you look at what it gets right, Hunt: Showdown is a masterpiece.
Never understood the praise for this game. While I'm sure it feels better with mouse and keyboard, on console the controls are clunky and unsatisfying, the gameplay loop is repetitive, and you spend an inordinate amount of time in menus and loading screens. There are also like 3-4 in game currency systems, and the game is loaded with microtransactions (which of course Crytek gets a pass on because they aren't EA or Ubisoft).
The Hunt: Showdown upgrade to CryEngine 5.11 drops this Aug. 15! Players can expect "a mountain of new content" throughout summer of 2024.
