Developed by Crytek, Hunt: Showdown is a multiplayer-focused first-person shooter, in which players compete to take down monstrous creatures. This is a clever twist on the battle royale formula— bringing players together due to the prey they hunt, rather than shrinking the map via a gas or some other force. Typical of the genre, only one can stand victorious (be it a solo player or a team) and that's the one who escapes with the earnings from the kill; it’s not over until the fat lady sings and players can stalk, slay, and betray one another until the bitter end. It's no-holds barred and it's pretty ruthless, and this brings me to my next point: I wish I could play alone.
