So the much-anticipated video game Predator: Hunting Ground was free to play this past weekend. Being the Predator fan I am, I had to give the Beta a try and see if the game is worth dropping some cash for come April 24th.
Predator: Hunting Grounds comes from the same guys who made Friday the 13th: The Game and, in many ways, it feels similar. You play online with others, one person gets to be the Predator, and the rest are members of a fire team the Predator is hunting. There's also offline bots where you get to be the Predator and hunt AI soldiers.
There were long wait times for the main game, so I spent most of my time playing the offline bots. The graphics were smooth and colourful, and the character very responsive to the controls. As the Predator, you leap and climb through trees, and get to use all the creature's weaponry and abilities, including the wrist claws, shoulder cannon, infrared vision and invisibility.
I had a blast with these, and enjoyed dropping in on soldiers and gutting them. And yes, the shoulder cannon is a lot of fun. The offline bots were a good training ground for the main game. As for it, it's co-operative and competitive game play. I'm not much for that, but I had fun. The group I played with were decent, and helped those of us who hadn't played as much.
All in all, Predator: Hunting Grounds is a good time, and I'm inclined to pick it up. It's available now for pre-order on PS4, XBox One, and PC. A Good,
