Predator: Hunting Grounds (2020)
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.
