    Way of the Hunter is a hunting simulator with excellent ballistic mechanics but badly implemented fauna AI and hunting mechanics in which the only prey players will catch are tediousness and frustration.

    Way of the hunter was supposed to be the "killer" of TheHunter: Call of the wild and the basics are here - stunning visuals, interestingWay of the hunter was supposed to be the "killer" of TheHunter: Call of the wild and the basics are here - stunning visuals, interesting gameplay, a lot of "realism". The finished product however, lacks any polishing and should be in early access and development for at least six more months. At it's current state, Way of the hunter is barely playable and really not recommended.

    Pros:
    + stunning visuals
    + limited ammo (so you can't hold enough ammo to fuel medium sized war as in CoTW)
    + really impressive "claim prey" screen with a lot of information about the killing shot and the animal

    Cons:
    - a whole lot of bugs. Devs and paid reviewers are trying to sell the story of "few bugs here and there" but that's not true
    - terrible FOV with no options to change it
    - terrible and not-intuitive controls, with no options to change them as well
    - limited and boring collection of weapons and equipment
    - worst voice acting i have seen in the last few years
    - it's freezing a lot, it's crashing a lot and often saves are getting corrupted
    - co-op broken to extend to be unplayable
    - tracking is not really working. There are tracks showing where animals are usually going through, but the actual animals are not leaving tracks
    - "ghost bullets". Sometimes (like 25% of the shots) are not counted, even if you are 100% hitting the animal. No reaction, no blood, no kill
    And so on, the list can go for few pages. Way of the hunter is not worthy of your time, or your money - check it again in few months and after (hopefully) few big patches.    … Full Review »

Its has some upside to it, but half of those features don't work. The graphics are good, but sound is god awful. Models are good most of the time with occasional T posing when running. Unfortunately there are too many game breaking issues should have been a $20 game… Full Review »
