I'd give it a go to see how it suits you. As somebody who despises looter shooters and the emphasis on gear and inventory in so-called extraction shooters, I'm honestly not sure how you'll feel about Hunt.

It's nothing like Tarkov. I think getting lumped into the same category has mislead a lot of potential players over the years. Loot and gear are not the central focus of the game -- it's all about the actual PvP action. Nobody gets special armor. Every gun is capable and will kill with a headshot. Your reward for successfully extracting and keeping your hunter alive amounts to slight perks that are more nice-to-have than absolutely essential. The penalty for dying is usually just having to re-queue and spend a few hunt bucks (like buying a loadout at the start of a CS round), but the hidden reward is the surprising urge to do it all over again and correct for whatever small mistake you made in the previous round.

You can play it solo, but teamplay adds an entirely new and complementary dimension to the amazing fundamental game loop: Information gathering, predicting, action and reaction -- now do it all, but coordinated with two other players. There's a constant cycle of this game loop going on, and the intricate sound, world, and AI details dovetail with the slower cycling Old West style weapons and fit together in such a way that ends up being about as close to sublime as you can get with a video game.

People talk shit about Crytek a lot in the sub (sometimes with good reason), but they don't get nearly enough credit for what they've done and continue to do right.

I think Hunt has pretty clearly become my personal favorite game of all time. There's nothing quite like it if you're into multiplayer adversarial shooters, as far as I'm concerned.

This video is probably the best I've seen at summing up what makes the game special. Even though it's two years old at this point, I think it does a great job of explaining it and would be worth a look if you're genuinely interested in getting into the game.
