I really wanted to like this game. It has an interesting premise and the writing is fair, but the skill checks and hidden aspects of the game are horrible. Every turn of the story is punishing and dependent on a combination of skills and stats that is no way consistent. It just makes the whole experience frustrating and not worth the time or money.

Fun game, does a good job conveying the desperation and stress of being a mortal in the World of Darkness hunting its monsters, without being a grimdark slog. Especially fun for someone familiar with the other lines in the setting, as getting to see Garou from the eyes of someone effected by the Delerium, or a Kindred's Dominate from the eyes of a victim is a compelling change of perspective.

This game is very fun and creatively written. The ending is a bit rushed, with the story feeling like it was about 95% complete before the writer ran out of time. That being said, it was very good the whole way through until that point.

I really like the mystery aspect of Hunter: The Reckoning, and I love how intense it gets. You always feel like you are outnumbered and outmatched, because you absolutely are. Because of this however, you are also underestimated and overlooked by your adversaries, and you have to use that to your advantage.

The characters are all distinct and memorable, and the plot will keep even seasoned World of Darkness fans guessing as to what might be going on.

I've already recommended this game to several people, and I really hope we get more Hunter: The Reckoning games like this in the future.
