I normally don't write reviews for games but this one deserves my full thoughts.

First off, this is not an "Apex Legends" clone. Bloodhunt and Apex are two completely different entities all together. If we're going to call games clones, aren't all BR's just PUBG knock offs? No. Each BR has it's own style, mechanics, and ways to play. In my personal opinion, this is probably the best BR to come out in a while. Apex had its attractions for the first few months I played it. Now its become nothing but a sweat fest filled with try hards and nothing changes about it except its mediocre maps and a joke for a "team deathmatch" game mode. Apex and Bloodhunt are on opposite sides of the spectrum. The only thing cool about Apex in my opinion is the fact that it takes place in the Titanfall universe, that's about it.

Pros:
- The game runs really well with Ultra settings enabled on my older RX570 8gb GPU at 2k resolution.
- The sound effects are great! From rain hitting surfaces, the gun sounds, feeding. Everything just sounds so good to me.
- Gun play, and movement feel good. To me, this is the most important aspect in any shooter.
- There are six different archetypes of Vampire to choose from. Each of them with their own unique styles, visuals, and mechanics.
- The game's level has a lot of vertical nature to it as well as a lot of space to move around in, pretty decent sight lines for players who want to go at range. It also has a good collection of choke points and tight quarters for players who like close range engagements. It doesn't feel cluttered. Between looting, finding civilians to feed on, etc. There's always a good reason to go somewhere.
- The game does have missions and challenges where you get bonus experience for completing them.

- They've added bots to fill the empty void.
- Hackers are lessened. Very good work!

Cons:
- Bugs still exist. While not game breaking, they can be frustrating to deal with. But that's to be expected for an Early Access title.
- The developers seem to have embraced the idea of a Battle Pass. This isn't a huge con since the developers have families they need to feed as well. However, progressing through it needs to be a little faster.
- Sometimes the hit registration breaks in gun fights, giving your opponent the upper hand in some situations.
- Gun reloading I feel needs to be a little faster as well.

Other thoughts:
The game's anti cheat software has been called "Spyware" by a few reviewers. While I understand why they claim this, anti-cheat software is essential to make sure the amount of hackers are limited. I do not believe a developer of anti-cheat software has any interest in your personal information. These are only in place to prevent you from playing the game if they detect something fishy on your computer, that's all it logs. In our modern gaming world, this kind of thing is true with any anti-cheat software.

As the development of this game progresses, I will continue to review it. All in all, I think it's a wonderful addition to the BR genre with a few quirks. But hey, nothing is ever perfect even on full release. That being said, I do recommend this game to anyone interested in playing it. After all, it's free! So it give it a try!
