WayTooManyGamesLeonardo FariaJul 20236.5/10Bloodhound isn’t a bad first-person shooter, but it’s a wasted opportunity. It could have been much better if the developers hadn’t focused so much of their efforts in ensuring the game would be as edgy, grotesque, and (non) erotic as possible. The foundations for a good DOOM-esque shooter are here, but the terrible enemy placement system and lackluster sound effects brought the combat mechanics down several notches.

CompletexboxAug 202450/100Bloodhound is a frustrating game. It has a short runtime and it does get better as the game progresses, but it always felt like it was just falling short of what it wanted to achieve. There’s a game feel that I look for in an FPS that was missing here. That unquantifiable thing we all need to make it feel great to play. Despite all of this, I do hope the team can take what they have learned with Bloodhound and come back with a better sequel. I could sense a great game in there and I’m sure their next attempt will iron out a lot of these issues. However, the only way I can recommend Bloodhound is if you absolutely must play every boomer shooter that hits the market.

Niche GamerFingal BelmontJul 20242/10Bloodhound is such a massive failure that it gets nothing right. Everything a gamer looks for in a shooter is bungled and it creates new issues with its staggeringly bad design choices. Compounded with the technical failings that make it almost unplayable, there isn’t anything worthwhile here at all.
