PS4Blog.netAug 20168/10The Huntsman: Winter’s Curse is a fun RPG and a great way to introduce people to the genre. It’s simple enough for new players to pick up and learn, especially if they enjoyed the movies. Veterans of the genre may find it a bit too easy, but you can change the difficulty if you want. If you are looking to get someone into the RPG genre, you can’t go wrong with this one. I enjoyed playing the game for my The Huntsman: Winter’s Curse review, and I hope you do as well.

PS3Blog.netDec 201680/100If you’re looking for a streamlined turn-based RPG to play on PlayStation 4, then this is a good option. The price is right for the amount of content on offer, and the strategy elements will keep you on guard during every fight. If this is the type of games we’re getting from now on as movie tie-ins, then I’ll certainly be happy!

The Vertical SliceChris RobertoSep 2016The bottom line on The Huntsman: Winter’s Curse is this: I liked it. Was it incredible? No. Was it entertaining? Yes. It kept my interest the whole time and even though I found a lot of the story predictable and cliched, I still didn’t feel like I was let down in any huge way. If you’re looking to add to the lore of the franchise, you should pick this up at some point. If you’re just looking for a quick-ish, non-traditional traditional RPG, you’ll likely get your money’s worth here.

Cubed3Sep 20162/10The Huntsman: Winter's Curse would have been a much more exciting experience had it had better direction. There are interesting battle mechanics, but they never reach their full potential, and the textboxes describe dramatic scenes, which the characters on-screen fail to act out. Also, most importantly, basic progression through the adventure is hindered by the bugs that will break all but the most persistent of gamers. There was a predicted winter's curse, but many will feel that it has arrived early in this ultimately broken release…

Push SquareJade SayersAug 20163/10The Huntsman: Winter's Curse's relatively short campaign is a slog, with little variation in the types of enemies presenting themselves. Moreover, the plot is so basic that it offers little in the way of distraction from the terrible mechanics of the game. The only saving grace is that this is an attractive game with its storybook stylisation.
