Huntdown is a game that matches my taste perfectly. It's difficult, reminiscent of retro and arcade games, but fair in a way that you have many difficulty modes as well as unlimited tries. This game is probably how we remember the good old 16-bit days even though these consoles could not provide these graphics and this level of action at all.

Speaking of graphics... They are amazing. So many little details, a large variety even within a theme of levels, beautiful color palette, good animations. The atmosphere is Flashback on steroids. The music is also very good. You have a large variety of weapons to pick up even though I think there are too many so they lose meaning to me because many are essentially the same. Exploration is rewarded too. The stages are not that large, but you can find some hidden things here and there.

The game is difficult! I chose to play it on normal difficulty for this playthrough because, honestly, it's difficult enough. Not so much the stages, but the bosses can be a roadblock. In badass difficulty you do the whole stage on three hitpoints. Beating the game on this mode is a project that will keep you busy for weeks or even months because you need to truly master every stage and boss. Luckily, the game saves after each stage. A 1CC in badass mode would be absurd, but I'm sure someone can pull it off.

Overall, very much recommended!
