Hunt: Showdown

Since I started playing I could not go back to play other games for long periods of time. It's an imperfect and precarious balance between satisfying gunplay, micro and macro strategy, superb 1890's gothic aesthetic and triple A sound design: the game just clicked in some ways I didn't know I needed. I suck bad at this game but it's no use, it sucks me back in everytime.

Intriguing take on the Battle Royale genre where rather than a zone that you fight to survive in, you race against other players to find a raid boss like enemy and be the first to kill him and extract. What makes the gameplay loop even more interesting is a rogue-like mechanic with your character and the ability to extract at any point after killing X amount of zombies/players, finding loot, ect. and if your character dies all of their abilities (perks), and loot goes with them. highly underrated game, only thing that would help is additional bosses/maps but with the sheer scale of the maps as they are it takes quite a while for them to even start to get stale.

The definitive interactive statement on the rot of the American South
also you get to throw a jar of bees at your enemies how rad is that

+ Stunning graphics, atmosphere and sound design
+ Satisfying gunplay, all weapons are easy to pick up but can be mastered
+ PvE and PvP are equally emphasised
+ Good variety of enemies, some of which influence what tools and weapons the player brings into the raid

- Minor performance issues
