Critic Reviews
It's hunting, seasoned -- theHunter: Call of the Wild review
theHunter: Call of the Wild isn’t for everyone. It takes a lot of patience and can be impenetrable for those without experience in hunting simulators. But for those with the grit to push through the steep learning curve, this game is quite possibly the best hunting game of all time. If you’re curious about it, I highly recommend giving it a go.
85%theHunter: Call of the Wild Review 2019 Edition (PC)
Sometimes, theHunter: Call of the Wild is a horror game. I once shot a moose, and it ran away, bleeding. I followed the blood trail for a long time. I could hear the animal shuffling through the thick foliage, but I couldn’t see it. And it was a huge one. My heart was pounding, expecting to see the moose at any time. I think that it was stalking me and not the other way around. He charged and killed me instantly. I can’t remember the last jump scare, in a game, prior to this one. The only thing that I don’t like about the game is the DLC policy, meaning that a lot of the interesting stuff can be bought through DLCs, including two entire maps. Otherwise, if I had the time, I would probably lose entire days hunting virtual animals, and having an inexplicable feeling of acomplishment.
