    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. Everything gone and back to the start. Stop taking peoples money for unfinished broken rubbish!!!

    Filled with many bugs, texture pop ins in performance mode, random movement bugs. Sound glitches, flying rivers(literally). The hunters sense blur is disorienting. Many crashes. Biggest problem is the "something went wrong" crash with causes the game to lose and corrupt your save files both on the system and on the cloud, forcing you to start completely over.

    An absolute disaster of a game which was clearly untested before release.

    As of now 18 August 2022, do not buy.    … Expand

    The games tracking is very bad, sometimes I shoot an animal and clearly hit it in the lungs, I mark the spot, and then go over to not find any blood. 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 madeThe games tracking is very bad, sometimes I shoot an animal and clearly hit it in the lungs, I mark the spot, and then go over to not find any blood.

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.… Expand

    I was 20 hours in and it corrupted my save file, even the save file on Cloud storage! Forcing me to start anew. Wasted 20hours of my life. The hunting is not that enjoyable anyway. So I deleted the game and move on.

    Surprisingly bad! Movement speed: bad, animals triggered to be hunted: also bad. There just isnt a single thing positive I can say about this game. Try harder!

    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]

    If you are into video games and also enjoy hunting, Way of the Hunter is a dream come true for you, as it's an extremely realistic hunting simulation that narrows everything down to the smallest of details, but this is not recommended for those who are impatient and have no knowledge about hunting and being a hunter.

    If Way of the Hunter's $40 price tag feels too steep for a title with some bugs and balancing issues, or if one prefers games that require a little less patience, this game might not be worth the cost. However, Way of the Hunter has got enough promise to warrant a second look once it has a few major updates under its belt.
