Predator: Hunting Grounds Review | One OK-looking motherf****r

By Michael Leri

The Predator’s trophy room is decorated with many skulls — humans, coyotes, Xenomorphs — but there is one foe that the dreaded beast can’t seem to best: time. Time has turned this predator into prey since the 1987 classic film, transforming an esteemed hunter into an atrophying pile of meat that doesn’t even deserve a mercy killing. A wealth of technical shortcomings and design flaws…

  • Authentic Predator-esque presentation and soundtrack.
  • Tense “hunt or be hunted” gameplay.
  • Fireteam missions don’t often repeat.
  • Inconsistent visuals, a choppy frame rate, and glitches can hamper gameplay and generally be annoying.
  • Stupid, non-threatening AI and odd design choices put unfair roadblocks in front of the Predator.
  • Lackluster tutorials and locking better gear behind leveling can make it too difficult for newcomers.
