positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Murderous Pursuits, yet another attempt to relaunch once famous multiplayer hunter-and-victim-in-one-person stealth killer game, The Ship. Graphics is better, obviously, and the game engine allows to set on the scene the hoards of people. The Ship was really great thing back in the days. Our actual subject, however, can't hold its charm. For one, the very idea of the first game was notably diminished in Murderous Persuits, making the game process more casual and random, but also much less…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When you mix The Ship and Assassin's Creed, you get this game. A beautiful, greatly themed hunting game where you must hunt your quarry, or wait to be hunted yourself. The game itself is really good; really satisfying voice acting, and well-designed maps. The only flaw is the lack of community (probably caused by the set price of greedy devs). The bad reviews mentioning the lack of community isn't helping either, because that's sure to drive people away - please think first before writing a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you have friends to play it with it's awesome
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A hide and seek game that didn't really pan out. You can try to play with bots but the AI is awful. Without a player base this is really just another dead game. :-(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a terrible update of the ship. You can't try to fight your hunter anymore. You just have to hope to click them ONCE before they click on you.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a surprisingly fun game. It's a shame that the multiplayer is pretty much dead at this point, which completely defeats the purpose of buying this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite negative reviews, there really isn't much here to hate. Sure, the game had a bit of a rocky start with bugs and server hosting, but it's grown to be much more than that. It's a great game by design, an action murder mystery arcade game of cat and mouse; only difference is you're not only the cat, but also the mouse. The only faults with this game can be summarized in three different categories: Minor bugs, population, and neglect. First point is bugs, there aren't very many in 2020…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This seems to lack all the hilarious and hectic action that The Ship had. No more silly fights between people using frying pans and mannequin arms, just walk up to your target and press button. Seems like a real downgrade.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game, it has a great concept. Unfortunately, it seems a little neglected though. Not many players, probably as a result of there being almost no updates for the game ever since it was released. This is made painfully obvious by how poor the optimization of the game is performance-wise, combined with there being not much meaningful content to unlock by leveling up. Blazing Griffin calls themselves a "digital entertainment company," not a game studio, and it shows. On their website,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Everything 'The Ship' wasn't. Game has been severely downgraded on features from 'The Ship', it's predecessor. Maps are small and boring. Lack of clothing changes mid game make hunting your quarry too easy. You'll spend more time playing tag around the security officer than actually playing the game as intended. Would not recommend.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I didn't mind this game not having a large player base due to the fact that I usually play with my friends. But now, my friends and I aren't even able to play a custom game together. Even when we join the same lobby, we all get disconnected when the leader begins to play a game. It had so much potential, such a shame to see what the game has come to.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Ship clone with 0 players online. You could try playing against AI bots but there is no tutorial or any explanation of how to play, NPC character models are re-used so you have identical clones running around you at all times, and it doesn't seem to matter whether anyone witnesses the murder or not, so... I recommend playing The Ship instead.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is fun but dead. If this game had a free to play model it where you buy skins or something, I'd think it do a lot better.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game could have had some sort of decent lifetime to it. However, Blazing Griffin has built up a track record of releasing games and then immediately abandoning them. Even if the game just needs a little ironing out to be a lot more fun, they refuse to put in that modicum of work after release and then they just let the game die. I'd avoid buying anything with this developer attached in the future for this reason. This isn't the first time they've done this. They did the same thing when…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has a good concept, but I wished I looked though community/support pages about this game. Solo play, it's a fun game, but in multiplier/with friends; its nothing. The community, my friends and I all seem to have the same problem, no one can play with their friends. No one has found the solution and the developers have yet to respond, and unfortunately, it seems they don't care. This issue has been going on since 2018, however, no solutions or replies have been made. People have…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The pictures made it look cool, but as soon as I started to play it I just couldn't understand the fun of it and with that no energy to try and master this. I rather play The Ship.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I need friends to enjoy this with! I can't do it on my mine :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The fact that you need to depend on friends to play is already a red flag. There aren't enough people playing this, and it's just a wannabe The Ship.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the game feels like a one trick pony it seemed well made but with the depth of a puddle
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →fun but no one is playing sadly
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you have friends to play it with it's awesome
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is extremely fun! I can't understand why people stopped playing it and forgot about it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you dont see any player or cant join any server , Click "View" on top of Steam then Click "Server" ,Look at Bottom left then Click "Change Filter" select game to Murderous Pursuits . Enjoy
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Brings back good memories of AC Brotherhood multiplayer, only without everyone running on roofs like idiots. Also this has dedicated servers so it's at no risk of a multiplayer shutdown like the AC games. There are a few mechanics to encourage stealthy game play and penalise running around like mad. My one complaint is that guards are a little bit silly. Guards work by policing an area and preventing hostile actions. They can become temporarily distracted, during which time hostile actions…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Imagine not being able to get more than 45 fps on a 4090 with a 7950x3d on the highest settings. Avoid this unoptimized garbage.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →really fun game with friends. if you have none to play with, don't bother!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Disclaimer: This is another one of those dead multiplayer-centric games so if you don't have friends to play with don't buy this.This is an indie knock-off of Assassin's Creed multiplayer. It is rough around the edges but decent. The lock-on is similar to Assassin's Creed 1 which I noted in my review on that game to be poorly implemented. The hiding and sneaking mechanics are also far less nuanced and the Pie Bomb ability is the worst thing since creamed corn.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →horrible crap horrible awful game not fun and just crap and horrible and so not fun dont get this game unless you want to kill yourself this game is so so so bad that its awful
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is the biggest PIECE OF ♥♥♥♥, I bought 4 copies of this game for myself and friends to play. That was my first mistake... The second was thinking that you could play multiplayer would work.. it didn't. I somehow had 3 lan players unable to join eachother but an internet player making it into lobbies, so we try a public server... which kept kicking us after every kill. DO NOT BUY THIS POS. The devs should be embarrassed that they produced something so bad.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Seemed like a good concept on paper but when playing it just seems so convoluted. You can't counter-kill your hunters which is kinda stupid, also the game tries to incorporate stealth into the game play mechanics but this is wasted because most players will ignore favor and just make the kill regardless of the exposure level because the player would just respawn allowing you to repeat this process again and again to rack up points. Why bother playing stealth except for reducing the exposure to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game solo but after a bit oyu wanna play online and for some reason it wont let me play online so theres that ha but great idea and could be a great game if you could hook into online parties
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is just The Ship, except bad. I wish there was a better way to put it, but there's just not. I love the style, and I love that someone is (or, rather, was) trying to keep the dream of boat-based murder parties alive, but this game is just not fun. It strips out all of the stealth, suspense and planning in favor of being a non-stop click fest, where whoever attacks first wins and as soon as you kill your quarry you're just given another. Every weapon is mechanically and statistically…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i had fun. The AI was a bit stupid but it was okay to play alone with lots of bots which means that for now there's actually no one playing. Like so many many games on steam, this game had some potential but failed to keep the game interesting enough to retain a sustainable number of real players. People had moved on after playing a few games like I did. It's still good enough to recommend friends to play it but with this price, no. Especially given the fact that this game had been released…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was fun, I got it for free cause it was free for a short time and the multiplayer boomed for a bit, lots of fun however only about a week later multiplayer sort of died and so did the game, a shame really the game was pretty fun, I would not recommend buying it even if it was free, without multiplayer its kind of dead
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ok friendslop game to play with the bois.... IF YOU HAVE FRIENDS. This game is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dead that you will barely find an open lobby.... UNLESS YOUR EXTREMELY LUCKY. Not to mention it was hard to play with some of my friends because this game is NAT Strict... seriously? You do this to a game you WANT friends to play with but make it NAT Strict? Their are better friendslop games to play... not this dead one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the game is good but the screen is not full and most of time play with AI not easy to join with rea; players

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is pretty fun, even against bots. But developers, please make the game cheaper, because the player base is non-existent.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Would play for a few hundred hours if the playerbase is still alive. it is a good game. i hope they made the game free and put in game purchases. please comment a game with same mechanics with a playerbase
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decent game but buy it only on some high discount. I've played it for few hours with friends: had fun, left it behind.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice concept but the game is literally dead.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game, but the multiplayer is dead so there's no real challenge.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Multiplayer is dead and a game against AI is buggy. AI will stand with 10 people in one place, so you can't target the right one. And the game stutters regurarly. Can't recommend.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Broke game, nothing more needs to be said.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the game is addictive and fun and easy to pick up and have a blast with friends
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game to play with a group of people. I am sure this game was very fun when it had a natural active player base.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →fun with friends
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is very similar to Assassians Creed Brotherhood multiplayer Wanted. You're assigned a target and you are also a target for someone else in the game. Quietly and unexpectedly take out your target. It's fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i was looking for games to help scratch that assassins creed multiplayer itch. thought this would be it but its not. couldnt find any players and the real thing that help ac was the fact it had portraits of who you were going after, here it doesnt and is hard to find who your tasgeting when going off of name alone
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is actually pretty fun, especially with friends. Definitely worth the 10 spent on this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really fun game! Graphics and style is really cool and maps look nice. It is simple to learn but difficult to really master. There is not many players online so it could be difficult to find match alone. Best play with friends!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The concept of this game is great. However, the problem is that I can't find a match against players. So that needed to be address or just get a group of friends to play with. Can't have fun with bots around. Though they do play decent but not enough satisfaction.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →''The ship'' style multiplayer 3rd person spy arena. Has AI bots they are well made i really enjoyed it. Though i would love to play against real players someday. If you want to buy this game dont forget to join its discord community. I heard that 15-20 people play from time to time. I dearly hope this game will get a larger playerbase someday. 100/100 (Worth full price)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game if you have enough people to play with. Bots are boring though.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Err... the game is really great. The graphics? I gave it a try because it contained a Victorian-themed illustrations and like mystery??? Oh man, my expectations were high. It didn't disappoint. It was real swell for the hunting. I swear I sometimes screamed when I get killed. I can't even hide my excitement whenever I get to defend against my hunters and kill my quarries. It is so satisfying to be on a killing spree. It would have been great if I had not given a try first to its mobile…
