Hello! I already have some games that I'll buy form the steam sale but I want to also buy some kind of online game. Any recommendations? For genres, I mainly prefer FPS's but I am ok with everything.

Hunt Showdown is on offer at the moment. It’s quite a learning curve but once you get the hang of it it’s fantastic. I’ve clocked 2.4k hours and it’s still got me hooked

Hunt is like a more accessible version of Tarkov, without the loot Tetris, gun modding, and crazy detailed ballistics, set in a cool Lovecraftian late 19th century iteration of Louisiana’s swamps. Strongly recommend! (To anyone concerned about monetisation, outside buying the game, everything else is entirely cosmetic.)

A great Hunt player on YouTube for anyone who’s interested, super chill guy: https://youtube.com/watch?v=vayVqO9MwQA

Is there a good response to this Steam review?

Did monetization ruin the game?

[–] Stiltonfondu@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

They did shake up the economy but it was nothing serious. There were a bunch of cry babies like this on Reddit and discord.

At the end of the day you only need Blood Bonds to buy some legendary weapons/hunter/tool skins which are purely cosmetic and have nothing to do with the main game loop.

Some skins/cosmetics can also be earned in game without using premium currency.

I bought most DLC and blood bond skins because they cool and I want to support a game I love

2400 hours of fun for the €20 I paid for Hunt is damn good value

And I believe there are more players than ever right now due to the event. P.s. is there a fedi Hunt community? I've not seen one yet
