Nocturnal Hunt

Nocturnal Hunt is a short stealth game where you play as a wolf. I have yet to play it (currently downloading on Steam), but I will post my review as to what I think about it when I am done playing it. It does sound very good and only costs a few bucks.

I took a peek at this, but I honestly can't say it looks or sounds all too interesting. Apparently it only has under an hour's worth of playtime as well. The reviews are decent enough, though, so I'm interested in hearing your opinion on it.

I do like their logo!

Alright, I just beat it. Interesting concept, and the gameplay is fun, though it is not quite worth the price. It is currently on sale (20%) off, but I would wait until it is discounted more.

Here's my (short) Steam review:

Decent game. Pro/con list is broken down below...

Pros:
- Fun gameplay, unique concept
- Controls are smooth, responsive, and feel good.
- Decent graphics and atmosphere, seems to be optimized well

Cons:
- Game is too short, and even though it was advertised as so, there either should be a couple more areas to make the game feel bigger or each area should be expanded upon to be made more difficult (AI improvements, see next point).
- AI could be better: poor detection even while not sneaking, their patrol routes should be more complex (too many stationary guys, not enough challenge), enemy gives up on chasing you too quickly, and upon giving up they just resume their normal route. Instead they should search for the player (a la Dishonoured).
- There should be a final boss of some sort. Maybe the last enemy could have increased health (so you don't insta-kill it, or can fire faster).


Overall, I will recommend it, but there is definitely room for improvement. 6/10
