The only things that prevent me from giving this game a much higher score is the very minimal trophy system, which only keeps your highest point animal per species. It also does not contain any info about shot distance or things like that. If you had control over which trophies to keep, and could keep multiple trophies, and if trophies had much more detail to them with regards to the shot or shots you took, I would give the game two more points.
Additionally, the internal damage modeling is extremely basic, and if it were more detailed (with more organs and perhaps some major blood vessels) I would have given an additional point as well.
I suppose it is worth mentioning that the method of spawning animals that the game uses is far from completely random, which means it is very possible to abuse the system by replaying the same hunt over and over again once you have memorized where certain animals will be. (I have killed the same black bear over a dozen times by restarting an open hunt repeatedly.)
Overall it is a decent enough game. Is it worth the full $30? That depends on how much you like hunting games. I got it for $15 during a Steam sale and I feel like that was a more fair price.… Expand
