I enjoyed the game well enough the danger is very real in some play throughs as all you have is luck and your wits. The challenge of using what cards your dealt with and planning ahead kept me hooked my favorite tactic was to board enemy ships, tear apart the crew and loot the place. the game gave me a very satisfying sense of accomplishment when I managed to take down a superior ship with some planning but, my boarding strategy which works great throughout the game then totally flops on the boss (the only boss) where if you kill the crew the boss instantly gets 10x harder thanks to its "A.I." repairing everything if the ship is that good on its own, why have a crew? why does a strategy that works everywhere not work here? seemed pretty lazy to me regardless I managed to beat the boss 2-3 play throughs later by leaving 1 crew member alive because that makes sense like I said I liked the game just wish there was more to it, but with the free expansion coming out soon I'll probably be playing it religiously once again
Contrary to popular belief Warframe is a Loot game not an action game, the Beta is also a lie. RNG reigns supreme here with drop rates for some parts as low as 0.67%, this was before DE encrypted the drop tables and the community could give feed back on such low drop rates, now we have no idea, DE told us that we would be able to view these drop rates in game with the use of their "codex" a half assed pokemon snap mechanic that currently does no such thing a whole major update later. The gameplay boils down to mowing down hordes of half witted enemies that all look and feel extremely similar by pressing the #4 button repetitively, all of the levels look and feel extremely similar, and all of the objectives boil down to go from point A to point B or stand and hold point Z. All of the bosses are bullet sponges and pose very little threat to players. Playing with others is also a let down as everyone just rushes towards to end of the level, there is no need to stay and fight or look around. As a co op game there are also zero co op elements aside from a few doors you need 2 people to open. no end game what so ever, a half assed tutorial that will leave many if not all new players scrambling around in the dark and finally grind walls after grind walls an example of one that was given another one DE-"we get it the grind and RNG need toned down" adds more grind and RNG in the next update play levels for derelict blue prints, blueprints then can used to visit the derelict level (a rehash of the void levels) once there you play said levels for the boss blueprint which may or may not drop the parts you need leaving you back at the start or the derelict vaults play mission for void keys (gives you access to the void levels) use these keys to make "dragon keys" dragon keys open vault doors by give the player a massive debuff depending on the key crafted less HP less shields less movement speed (-75%) or less weapon damage with 4 keys which one opens the vault? RNG will decide what vault spawns in your mission that you've crafted yet another key to access lets review key for the derelict void key for the vault key pray you have the right key or waste time doing a mission with a huge debuff at the time of writing updates have been adding more weapons (re-skins with different stats mostly) and more poorly planned "events" the last one consisted of players taking pictures of plants the plants needed to "win" the event required a rare plant RNG again it also required 4 players to have the same type of plant juice ( rarest one) to win, this lead to many players trolling others by putting in the wrong one there by destroying everyone elses plants this also left solo players unable to win the event regardless of the SOLO option DE later put out a hotfix that allowed solo players to win by doing the work of all 4 players previously take 4x the pictures of the rare plants (1 pic per plant) DE does not seem to know what they are doing, aside from the art and style of the game I found very little to love as time went on and I began to see where this game was heading (nowhere) fun gameplay is not found here stay away [check box if your review contains spoilers] there's also no story or lore
I have No idea why there are so many 10s for this game, while Hunted is not a bad game, it definitley is NOT a 10 me and my brother played half the day and made it to chapter 2, I also messed around with the level editor until I learned what I could do with it The game plays fine once you've figured out the controls and what each character is meant for If you have a buddy great, if not the A.I. takes over and that's fine the A.I. has not let me down yet Hunted is a very linear game which is fine so long as its a long game and from what I can tell it should be but if thats a huge problem then you should get Hunted, not even the level editer will save you here What I did not like the varity of monsters, while we have not gone very far into the game ( I hope) there have only been about 4 different types Spiders, swords guys, shield n sword guys, and armor guys The cover system hardly works the way I would like it to, which is exactly when I don't want it, causing my brother to die while I tried to run for a potion to save him only to be forced into cover when I run past a rock Hunted, even at its easiest seeting Hunted can be difficult thanks to its health system forcing you to die over and over again to figure out how to get past some parts ex. walk down the stairs and get sniped (k we know there's snipers) Die again (k we know where they are now) Die again (gotta kill these other guys that pop up to kill the snipers) Die again (both of us have to kill the other guys then the snipers) Made it, low hp, no potions O hi theres two big guys now Overall the game has many flaws but none of them are truly game breaking, once (or if) you make it over that first hump of frustration you and your buddy (or A.I.) will find some enjoyment with the game I'd reccomend you rent Hunted first to see if its your thing, if not you saved yourself some money
