Predator: Hunting Grounds is a bad game and not worth your money
Saying I’ve played worse games isn’t exactly a compliment, even if it’s true.
The Alien series already had a video game entry to tarnish its name, so it was only a matter of time before Predator got one. I don’t think Predator’s will go down quite as badly (there were a lot of other factors that led to Colonial Marines’ controversy), but at the very least, the game will fade into obscurity. There’s nothing memorable about it.
Developer IllFonic had a lot to learn from its other asymmetrical multiplayer title, Friday the 13th: The Game, which was met with mediocre reception, and it appears that the studio couldn’t quite capitalize on that knowledge. Predator: Hunting Grounds is a mess. There’s fleeting enjoyment to be had if you can team up with your friends, but it remains unbalanced, unpolished, and lacks the soul worthy of the franchise name.
That’s not to say Predator needs to, or even intends to be taken seriously. Its movie entries range from campy and cheesy to downright bad…
