As Hunters in Hunt Mode, players are tasked with, as you can probably guess, hunting down the Monster and preventing him/her from destroying the Power Relay, which they can only do when they reach Stage 3 of their evolution, or from killing or incapacitating every last member of the Hunter team. Now, I said earlier that I wouldn’t be making any comparisons, but the previous version had five different game modes so I’m hoping that more will be added in the future. Three, if you count Ranked matches as a separate game mode. Two, if you count playing as a Hunter as one, and playing as the Monster as another.

Hopefully, the devs see the error of their ways. Unlocked characters, skins, and 3000 keys which can easily be earned in about an hour or two of playing, just doesn’t seem to be just compensation for all that wasted time and effort. Countless hours of gameplay spent leveling up characters and earning rare elite skins only to lose all progress and the rare skins banished to oblivion when the game was re-released. I will, however, acknowledge the fact that players who previously bought the game seem to be on the losing side of the bargain when the developers decided to shift to a free-to-play model.
