VGChartz’s Lee Mehr: “Hunt: Showdown will go down in the annals of not merely extraction shooters, but of first-person shooters in general. Hunt: Showdown 1896 will (currently) go down as an… appreciated-if-also-misguided expansion/revival that’s capable of reaching those empyrean heights in due time. Past the nettlesome launch-window complaints, certain design nuances – both on and off the map – lead to something that partially dampens its legacy in understated ways. At the same time, most of the fundamentals that made Crytek’s shooter what it is still result in some of my favorite multiplayer memories in recent history.”
