    The game makes a fantastic impression at first and second glance. Despite the unintuitive user interface, Way of the Hunter is a beautifully crafted hunting simulator that can rightfully take its place at the top of its genre. [Issue#321]

    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 »
