Since I was a kid flying a Blackhawk outside of the map area in Joint Operations (2004) to flank 10km around other enemy players, I've been on the hunt for a game that gives me those same post-firefight adrenaline shakes. The original DayZ mod firefights in 2012 were probably the peak of intensity for me but as I grew older I just didn't have 100s of hours to sink into gearing my characters up. Then, in 2022 I rediscovered a game I had shelved and once again I found those heart-pounding firefights I'd been looking for!

● You can find the game I spent SO long looking for (Hunt: Showdown) right here on Steam and join me as the v2.0 re-launches this week! ➤ https://store.steampowered.com/app/59...
