Predator: Hunting Grounds. Most disappointing video games of 2020

Release Date: April 2020
Genre: online action game
Platforms: PC, PS4

Founded in 2007, the American studio IllFonic cannot be denied some obstinacy. Since its inception, this team has been stubbornly trying to conquer the world of online gaming and has consistently failed. The world did not like their debut Nexuiz, nor the most famous work Friday the 13th: The Game, nor Dead Alliance. Despite their questionable quality, however, these projects were popular enough to keep IllFonic afloat and lead to another game – a similar adaptation of Friday the 13th Predator: Hunting Grounds.

The asymmetrical online production allows one player to take on the role of the titular space hunter, while the few remaining players take on the roles of the commandos who fight it. And it makes the same mistakes as a few years earlier inFriday the 13th: The Game – it scares us not with its atmosphere, but with very poor technical condition, it can't figure out matchmaking, it discourages us from playing with poor balance, and it offers far too little content.

He first worked as a co-worker at GRYOnline.pl. In 2023 he became the head of the Paid Products department. He has been creating articles about games for over twenty years. He started with amateur websites, which he coded himself in HTML, then he moved on to increasingly larger portals. A computer engineer, but he was always more drawn to writing than programming, and he decided to tie his future with the former. In games, he primarily looks for stories, emotions, and immersion that no other medium can provide - hence, among his favorite titles, are games focusing on narration. Believes that NieR: Automata is the best game ever made.
