"Hunt the Night nails the aesthetics and world-building, but fails to deliver a truly satisfying combat system outside of boss encounters."
Read original review"Hunt the Night doesn&s;t reinvent the genre, but with a gorgeous art style and variety in combat, there&s;s still plenty to love about it."
Read original review"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."
Read original review"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."

Read original review"Put it all together, and it is not hard to see where Hunt the Night succeeds the most. The way combat flows, the flexibility of how players can build out Vesper to be the Stalker they want, and the delicate …"

"Hunt the Night attempts at being a difficult top-down action game, but because of its frustrating gameplay and poor design the real difficulty is wanting to pick it up again."
Read original review"While its degree of challenge can be high, and its stage layouts aren’t always easy to follow, it still manages to at least be interesting"
Read original review"Overall, Hunt the Night is a great looking action-RPG that will push your skills to the limit but one that is very rewarding when you pass its challenges. It has dark and beautiful world to explore, challenging combat against great …"
