Playing as the Predator you’ll be on the hunt straight away. There’s no reason not to. You can go harass the AI enemies if you choose, but there’s no advantage to it. I wish that there was something else for the Predator to do though. In Evolve the monster could farm fodder to level up and get stronger or attempt to kill the other players when they were also weaker. This game really feels like it needs a similar structure.

The Predator plays in a third-person view and it’s a very different game to the fireteam stuff. It can be really slow or fast-paced but ultimately it never feels like you have enough tools at your disposal to truly feel as powerful and an apex hunter as the Predator is in the films. You are left objection less. While the fireteam have the mundane objectives to keep them moving, the Predator has nothing other than the hunt.

Climbing into the trees the Predator will move with swift speed and ease from one branch and tree to another with a simple push of the analog stick. It feels nice and lets you make your way around the jungle with ease. Turning on heat-vision you can track your prey in combination with listening for sounds, which you’ll soon hear as the fireteam always ends up shooting pretty quickly each match with little options for stealth.

When you find your prey, if you’re attempting to play the game ‘properly’ you’ll stalk and wait for one of the team to break off and quickly assassinate them before retreating into the trees. Unfortunately, if the team is smart enough and never break formation you’re left with little options. You can shoot a laser cannon down from the tree’s but it’s easy to doge. You can jump down and spam the melee button in an attempt to take out the entire squad in one quick movement, but it’s not likely as the Predator will die very quickly under fire from three-to-four of the fireteam. As you level up you do unlock more options like a net for the Predator to trap enemies in, but none of them felt like they truly change the way you can play the game.
