PC Gamer sat down with game director Scott Lussier for an exclusive look at Mammon's Gulch, Hunt: Showdown's first new map in three years, and the beginning of a new era for the extraction shooter. Mammon's Gulch takes Hunt further west than it's ever been to Colorado, featuring a central mountain, two rivers, and expansive mines that link several compounds together.

Really appreciate that, thanks. One of the best parts of working in games media is being able to ask basically any developer in the world about the stuff you're most curious about, and Hunt remains one of the games that most provokes interesting questions about design, imo.

@jumblestiltskin1365 Месяц назад

I've played this game for over 1k hours now, everything else I play gets pushed aside to come back to this. If you like extraction shooters you'll love this. Seems simple but there's a depth to it that makes it very compelling to put time into. The atmosphere is great, setting is unique, gameplay best in genre, the audio in particular is better than anything else out there.

@NickHunter 24 дня назад

Perfect community management: “We know how our game works, we understand different playstyles and approaches that our gamers love, we want everyone to have a chance of winning - either by calculation or blunt force”. I love the game but I feel that my chances of winning are significantly lower than of those who have been playing it up and down since the alpha. I’m so touched when I see that the developers care.
