Great but demanding game

There are so many reviews of the game and so I will restrain myself to comment on a few tips and how to commence if your computer kneels under the load. I have a 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11700F and a Nvidia G-Force 3070 and my computer used to die (go black due to temperature) at least once a day, but I fixed that by turning 'Foliage' down to low in the settings (made me stay on Temporal for antialiasing). This apparently has the benefit of making it easier to follow blood trail as well. Another hint is that all animals haves to drink and so being at a lake in the morning 7-10 AM depending on species (you can find the exact time in the encyclopedia once you have discovered enough), Like many here, I have played Deer Hunter, but this one is more about patience and slow walking after you have mapped it all up and I think I have a new favorite hunting game for years to come unless some company actually beats it :)

Hunt from the comfort of your own home

This is my go to relax game. There is no need at all to speed thing through. Take time to find the best hunting spot. Take time waiting for the animals. Take time to choose the animal you want to kill. And take time to take the perfect shot. I know you also can paly as a speed freak - but that's not for me. Very beautiful game also and the sound FX are very natural and well done.

Simply the best hunting game right now

If you want shooting gallery, you should play something else. For someone that wants to experience what it could feel like to be hunting, this is the game to play. That said, you don't have to be wanting 100% hardcore realism, you can tweak the realism quite nicely to your liking so I would say that it is pretty flexible in that sense. I'm not saying it's perfect or complete (at least not yet) but I really love the way this game has been made. I mostly just hunt by my own will and I'm not very much into story based gaming but sometimes it's actually nice to have a job to do. There are things that I would change or add in to the game so lets list some of them: I would add - Full year seasons for every map - Even more weapons to choose from (Pistols....) - Shooting ranges (Skeet and plinking) - Gear for night time hunting - Tents I would change: - More random wind - Add some markers for dead small game even if played on most extreme difficulty or give a chance to tweak difficulty even better to taste - Give possibility to tweak colour saturation

Great Game. Better than Call of the WIld

Great hunting game. Better mechanics than Call of the Wild. Highly recommended. Would love to see new maps in the future, hand guns, and new animals as well like elephants, hippos, and rhinos. 10/10 Multiplayer is very fun just slightly buggy/unstable.
