It comes with a heavy heart to write this review.
I followed this game during alphas, joined the beta and got to play the first glimpse of what was hunt.
I was there on release, watched how the game got better, how things were improving and how much fun and different the game was from -ANY- other shooter extraction game out there.
I agreed with every patch, I was excited for anything to change, for anything new, because it was all gold.

Then Hunt got popular enough to attract the consoles. Which is good, but not when it drives change in a single focus. Up until the UI changes things were alright, then the new UI change of Hunt 1896 came out, it was...not good. I could bear it though and tried to enjoy the game.

As events passed I found myself liking the direction less and less. Then we had the first out of world interaction. Ghost Face popped up and I said to myself "This is either going to be a one off, or we're going down the mainstream rabbit hole."

Then the next event was a Post Malone related event. I gave up at this point, hunt was joining the shoveled shooter slop of other games.

I really enjoyed the game as it was, and could play it back to back all day. Guess it's just out grown me. A unique game slowly devolving into the generic shooters we see all around. I almost miss the original concept of 4 player missions before the pvp ideas popped up now.
