Hood Warfare 2 Review Roundup: Steam Score & Verdicts

What is the Hood Warfare 2 Steam review score?

Mostly Positive. The store page showed 79% positive from 882 user reviews at 14:25 UTC on October 13, 2026. Steam’s review API, which also counts players who did not buy the game directly on Steam, returned 929 reviews at 14:20 UTC: 739 positive and 190 negative, 79.5%.

The score rose as the game spread. Insider Gaming reported 74% positive from 346 reviews on October 12, so the review count more than doubled in about a day. These are dated readings; the store page shows the current figure.

What do players praise and criticize most?

To see past the joke reviews, this roundup counts how often a subject comes up in 600 English-language Steam reviews, taken in Steam’s most-helpful order on October 13; 461 of those 600 recommend the game. A review can mention several subjects, and a mention is not always a complaint.

Has the developer addressed the complaints?

Partly. Patch 1.0.10 on October 12 targets the two biggest complaints: it adjusts spawn locations and adds spawn protection, and it adds an anti-cheat system with an in-game Report option. It also fixes progression not showing correctly after a match, although seven reviews posted after the patch still report levels or unlocks resetting. The developer notes that very small maps will still produce fast deaths.

Of the 600 reviews counted above, 291 were posted before the patch and 309 after it. Spawns come up in 49 of the earlier reviews and 28 of the later ones; cheaters in 31 and 21. That is one day of post-patch reviews, so read it as an early signal. Hosting and the small weapon and map pool are not addressed in the patch. The patch 1.0.10 breakdown has the full list, and the multiplayer guide explains the hosting reports.

What do gaming sites say?

Coverage so far is news about the game going viral, not scored reviews. Dexerto’s October 12 report compares it with Call of Duty for its killstreaks, create-a-class setup and HUD, and notes player complaints that the fun is brief.

Insider Gaming, the same day, calls it a five-dollar Call of Duty clone, relays a buyer’s complaint about spawn camping and observes that some Steam reviews are obvious trolling. The Steam listing showed no Metacritic score on October 13.

Is Hood Warfare 2 worth buying?

Recommending reviews that give a reason most often cite the price, the humor and playing with friends. Of the 139 negative reviews in the sample, 43 mention spawns and 32 mention cheaters.

Steam’s standard refund terms cover a purchase refunded within 14 days and with under two hours played, which is enough to test performance and a few online matches. Check your PC against the system requirements and the current player count first. US pricing is on the release and price page.

What is the age rating?

Steam’s mature content description lists violence, blood effects, crude humor and profanity. The store data carries two automatically generated regional ratings: 14 in Brazil, for inappropriate language and violence, and 16 in Germany, for drastic violence and coarse language. No ESRB or PEGI rating appears in the listing.

The game also has in-game chat and, since patch 1.0.10, lobby-wide voice chat with other players. Parents should weigh that alongside the gang-war theme.
