    This game is fun simulation but doesn't seam like it's full game more like early access tbh , it doesn't have platinum trophy yet and I am not sure are they going to be releasing those updates as free patches or are they going to sell them as DLC's . Graphics is good but again there are some bugs which can be annoying such as River (main characters name ) refusing to pick up a binocularsThis game is fun simulation but doesn't seam like it's full game more like early access tbh , it doesn't have platinum trophy yet and I am not sure are they going to be releasing those updates as free patches or are they going to sell them as DLC's . Graphics is good but again there are some bugs which can be annoying such as River (main characters name ) refusing to pick up a binoculars until you fast travel back to lodge and do it again on the next trip (this happened occasionally not a game breaker for me ) . If you have theHunter: Call of the Wild™ probably stick with this one until this game is ready . I mostly played my hunting games on PC wanted to see what they feel like on Console so I got this one.… Expand

    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.
