The Games Machine 8.3/10

"Bloodhound is an excellent and well orchestrated FPS that takes its inspiration from the great classics like Doom and Quake. On the narrative side I would have liked more insight, even if the rest reaches its goal. Must have absolutely."

PSX Brasil 70/100

"Mindful of its disdain for storytelling, Bloodhound is everything fans of a good boomer shooter might hope for, but it doesn't go much further than that. With some controversial strings and design choices, the game doesn't seem to have reached its maximum, which doesn't override the solidity of its extremely objective mechanics."

WayTooManyGames 6.5/10

"Bloodhound isn’t a bad first-person shooter, but it’s a wasted opportunity. It could have been much better if the developers hadn’t focused so much of their efforts in ensuring the game would be as edgy, grotesque, and (non) erotic as possible. The foundations for a good DOOM-esque shooter are here, but the terrible enemy placement system and lackluster sound effects brought the combat mechanics down several notches."

Evilgamerz 6.5/10

"In terms of concept, Bloodhound is a game that we could indeed expect to see as standard around the 90s. If the game had been released then, it still wouldn't be a Quake or Unreal beater. The constant racing from one room to another and the constant supply of meat ensures that you have seen enough after an hour. The light RPG possibilities with the abilities and the reasonable variety of weapons, which develop a little more variety, do not make you want to play the game again. It is nice that keys have been added to the level design, with which you have to unlock successive rooms and that some bosses appear every now and then. However, Bloodhound is ultimately nothing more than a mindless dime a dozen shooter. If you can appreciate that, then you will be fine with this."

CrazyGameCommunity.it 6/10

"Bloodhound presents itself as a Doom-like that takes on the classic mechanics without even trying to modernize itself, but still so faithful that fans of the genre might even appreciate it."
