And their reward today is another new Hunter with a mask that is sure to put the willy’s up even the more seasoned hunter. The Commedia Della Morte DLC for Hunt: Showdown is out now on Xbox, PlayStation and PC and introduces Scaramuccia."
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).
