Predator Hunting Grounds Yautja Edition Review Cons:

• No benchmark test.
• You don’t get the Dutch DLC and even worse is the DLC isn’t even up on the store, nothing anywhere says why.
• This Edition of the game is amazing if you are a Predator main but lackluster if you are not.
• The menus especially in graphics are all messed up and don’t always register properly.
• Balancing the Marines’ levels and the Predator doesn’t always feel fair.
• The Predator is way too fast in terms of attack and can easily down everyone.
• Can’t skip the cutscenes and death screens.
• Slow to unlock anything.
• The pool of items in the loot crates is bad with me having countless full crate box duplicates usually in a row.
• Feels like all the cool stuff and work went into the Predator, marines are basic and clumsy.
• Long matchmaking times.
• A lot of games started with only 2 or 3 players.
• Weapon skins are not that desirable for most of the weapons.
• The mouse cursor stays on the screen even when using the controller.
• Hard to make out objectives a lot of the time.
• Guns are hard to use until you grind out attachments.
• Loadout slots are unlocked.
• Gun EXP is definitely the slowest to earn.
• With randoms, the game is just a shooting gallery and people running around everywhere.
• Grenades don’t have the aiming reticle or any help in determining where they will land.
• The screen feedback on hits makes you feel like you are taking more damage than you actually are.
• Got stuck in the scenery a fair few times.
• Marines can’t stick to walls or do any cool tricks like sliding and shooting etc.
• Constantly getting controller disconnected errors or the Steam big picture being that the controller is disconnected. Thus happens even on a wired controller.
• I would have the game load into a match and then it resets all graphic options and sets my screen to the size of a stamp.
• Predator gets the most EXP even if they don’t play the game and are just idle!
• Can’t see teammates or indeed the Predator’s player level.
• Pings are all over the place and no network options for servers etc.
• Winning as a marine is not that rewarding or even special, just a cutscene of an angry Predator.
• I get it sound is important but all footsteps are way too loud and sound like a drunk Camel attempting to ballet.
• Had many games start counting down as if I’m in the game but all I get is a black screen amd I can’t even bring up the pause menu.
• In big-picture mode the achievements pop-up is delayed until after you shut the game down.
• You cannot afford to turn off cross-play because you will hardly ever fill the room when on the PC.
