    Whether having to stare at the ground for extended periods of time, shoot what should've been a hit but inexplicably doesn't leave any blood behind, or even just getting around with an unsteady frame rate and graphical glitches, there's something here to disappoint everybody. Perhaps if you are hardcore into trophy hunting you could extract a droplet of enjoyment out of Way of the Hunter, but doing so will be an uphill battle against the game itself.

    Poorly optimised for a so called “next gen hunting sim”. Put 16 hours into this broken mess on PS5 only to have my game wiped by a bug anyway.Poorly optimised for a so called “next gen hunting sim”.

Also after you get 49 kills on the playstation version, a lot of people get the error "Something went wrong CE-100028-1", and it pops up every 5 seconds after that. My game has also randomly deleted my save, and when I got online next it made me start over, that's after getting a lot of the perks unlocked which takes a long time. I'm not starting over a 3rd time. Wish you had the option to sell the game back, I wouldn't buy this game for a while if I were you.… Full Review »

Refunded and purchased on PS5, works perfectly!

    >20+ Hours in and loving it. Yes the common downsides are there (FOV adjustment, couple of stuck issues) however the rest of the game is a well done hunting simulation.

    For the $ this game is worth it on PS5 for sure. However, it does need a thorough bug cleaning on PC and FOV adjustments to stop the reviews from getting hammered.

    My belief is the developer needs to review the "No Man's Sky" syndrome before releasing a buggy game.

    my 2 cents.    … Full Review »
