"Bloodborne meets Legend of Zelda worked out much better than I would’ve ever hoped. The bosses can have quite the malicious edge to them, especially a supremely sadistic second boss, and the platforming can be, quite literally, hit or miss. …"

"We don&s;t have Bloodborne on PC, but we do have Hunt the Night, its Zelda-infused, pixelated version. Even in its current form where there are some difficulty spikes it&s;s a game that will please those who love difficulty and challenge."

"Net of some imperfections, Hunt the Night is a product that manages to entertain for its entire duration and beyond, given the presence of extra modes that offer bread for the teeth of soulslike fans and the like."
