"Out of all of the Predator games to date, Hunting Grounds had the most potential. And there are things to admire about it. Schwarzenegger reprised his role as Dutch from the first film, while Alice Braga and Jake Busey lent their voices to the characters they played in Predators and The Predator, respectively. More importantly, the graphics look pretty good, and playing as a Predator hunting its prey from the treetops feels great. If anything, it makes a strong argument that Predator deserves an Assassin's Creed-style game."
"However, this asymmetrical multiplayer title does a little too much to even the playing field between the Predator and the players controlling the soldiers. Despite the Predator's superior tech, it's relatively easy to spot him in the jungle and gang up on him until he's dead. This could have been the best game in the franchise, but it's ultimately disappointing and never lives up to its full potential."
Hunting Grounds offered the most potential of the Predator games by pairing strong graphics with satisfying Predator movement and treetop hunting mechanics. Arnold Schwarzenegger returned as Dutch, while Alice Braga and Jake Busey reprised roles, adding authentic voice performances. The Predator's technology and stealth evoke franchise appeal and suggest viability for a larger Assassin's Creed-style solo game. However, game balance undermined the experience by making the Predator relatively easy to spot and vulnerable to coordinated soldier teams. Asymmetrical systems tilted toward the human players, reducing tension and preventing the game from realizing its full franchise potential.
