Feb. 2025

I really enjoyed this game. It's a little rough around the edges, which is more noticeable with a few of the boss hitboxes, but I never encountered anything game breaking. The world is just small enough that the lack of a map isn't too painful, and I had fun with all the boss fights, which could get challenging but never frustrating. Gameplay wise, it's similar to the top down zelda games but with more of a lean toward combat than puzzles. I hundred percented it in about 12 hours and the game stayed fun all the way to the end.

Jan. 2025

Was able to start a nightmare playthrough as my first go at the game. 10/10, would torture myself again. The game is not bad, but it definitely lacks polish. [*] Some weird hitboxes here and there, including lingering ones in a couple spots. [*] You're "bound" to checkpoints, so every time you die (and on nightmare *everything* one-shots) you have to run all the way back. Yet there are some places without a checkpoint that *can* checkpoint you. How about riding an elevator up, then down, and getting the checkpoint at the bottom without the proper "checkpoint spot"? I mean, it helped once I discovered it, but it definitely needs at least some consistency. Luckily, most of the bosses are close enough to a checkpoint on their own. Which I can't say for mini-boss hunts. [*] For most bosses when you go back in the intro cutscene is automatically skipped (that's good), but not all of them. 2nd boss of the prologue is one such exception. Why? [*] There seems to be some kind of leak/issue that causes loading screens to last longer and longer every time you switch map. And now imagine learning boss patterns, you're being one-shot by everything, and checkpoint with boss are on different maps. Had to restart the game every 30-60 minutes on boss grinds, because after that time loading times just became unbearable. I could go on and on, but to save my own sanity: Overall I'd recommend with a few "buts". P.S. Definitely a nice little torture device on nightmare mode.

Hunt the Night is a diamond. Not only is this game gorgeous, but for it's art style and combat, it feels refreshing. The world breaths character. No two places feel the same and the horde of secret places hidden around the game is really exciting when you stumble upon them. I'd love to forget that I played this game, just to experience it again. However, even diamonds can have their imperfections, and for a game that I hold in such a high regard, it has a few hard-to-overlook flaws. Despite the game being out for sometime now, it still has the occasional bug. Nothing typically ground-breaking, but small moments that will temporarily take you out of the immersion long enough to question what happened and then forget all about it. The achievement system is still bugged to this day, prompting the developers to create a patch that will re-register your achievement progress every time you visit Dalia's garden in the hub world. But the biggest flaw in the design of the game, aside from the lack of scalability of strength despite all the weapons, is the very noticeable lack of a map system. The world of Hunt the Night is just big enough, with all it's unlockables that force you to back track, to really confuse this player on where to go, what to do and what I had already accomplished. You'll find some signs in the first couple of areas that point you to the direction of another part of the map but outside of that, and an NPC that gives you hints of where to do, despite me not knowing they existed til after I beat the game, you are on your own. This lead me to backtracking through areas I've been to many times over thinking "Oh, the library was over here. Or wait, no, it's over on that side of the map. Wrong again...." It frustated me enough to where I started a second save file, and it wasn't until I passed my six hour mark with a guide, that I finally started understanding the direction the game was leading me to and I began to get comfortable enough with the locations. In the end, Hunt the Night is one amazingly fun game, just... maybe keep the guides on Steam bookmarked for a little while.

Aug. 2024

Fun, a bit challenging at times but nothing that is impossible to do after a few tries. The achievements are somewhat bugged, though it is possible to get them all, so I won't change to a negative rating for that. I originally bought this for the neat character designs, Vesper and Umbra are so cool and the monsters are very detailed and look truly eldritch, but the story kept me going and trying to get all the lore bits (up until the kinda mediocre ending).

April 2024

I really like this game; the main character's sprite is incredibly adorable, though the monster details might not perfectly align with the story's theme, her charm reminiscent of Zelda's makes her really cute, like a cute cat massacre an army of monsters. The gameplay is robust and satisfying, offering a solid experience. The boss battles hard but fair and fun. Also maybe a sequel ? do a dark souls and set it like 1000 years later something something
