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.

A Relaxing, Immersive Hunting Experience

After 250 hours, I’ve finally decided to write a review. First off, I want to say that I’m not a hunter in real life and have only played Call of the Wild before. I’m just a regular guy who enjoys relaxing games. I’ve spent most of my 250 hours on the first map alone. What I don’t like: Even though the game presents itself as "next-gen," keep in mind it’s still built on Unreal Engine, which means it can look either blurry or grainy (if you know, you know). If you have an NVIDIA graphics card, make sure to update the DLSS file to the latest version, it helps a lot. GoG version tip: If you're using the offline installer version, the game won’t save properly the first time you play (not sure if it’s the same with Galaxy). It creates two save folders: Account_0 and Account_0_G0G. Fix: Start a new game, then exit to desktop. Launch the game and start a new game again—after that, it should save correctly. And that’s pretty much it. Sure, there are a few bugs here and there, but nothing that ruined my enjoyment. What I like: The sound design is excellent. The weapons feel great to use (again, I’m not a hunter, so this is from a casual player’s perspective). The environments look fantastic. The story and missions are genuinely interesting. It’s not AAA-level storytelling, but for a hunting game, it’s surprisingly good. You can choose between story mode or just free hunting. The herd management system is awesome, really well done. No pay-to-win nonsense. The base game includes everything you need. DLCs are just optional add-ons or new maps. I really like that you can change the game’s difficulty at any time depending on your mood. That’s about it. I’ve probably missed some pros and cons, but overall, I can confidently recommend the game. It’s a great experience, definitely worth trying, especially if you have a bit of patience and enjoy getting immersed.

Not 4 player co-op, 3 player max

This game is a 5 star but I have to give it a 2 when trying to play with 4 people only 3 can join and the fourth always gets an infinite load screen.
