TheHunter does employ a small element of structure repair, which is probably the closest it comes to having true survival mechanics. Being out in nature (even if only a digital approximation), admiring its glory (even with the intention of lessening said nature’s glory with your trusty rifle), has proven a good way to spend a couple of hours, especially when cooped up during a long, grueling Minnesota winter. You can also find specific areas where certain animals tend to congregate, and you can lie in wait to spring your trap.Īlthough theHunter unfortunately doesn’t offer any real concrete survival mechanics (something Josh mentioned as perhaps also being the case for Way of the Hunter), the open-world setting of theHunter definitely has a strong appeal.
This requires finding and tracking animals, rummaging through piles of dung (and deciphering their freshness), and even investigating disturbed patches of grass or brush.
Much like the upcoming Way of the Hunter (at least, based on what I gather from the game’s trailer), theHunter drops players in an open-world wilderness with the main goal of hunting wild game. Even though I’ve been a fan of survival games for a while now (some of which include hunting mechanics, to some extent), it wasn’t until RDO that I really started to take a shine to digital hunting. Of course, like so many people in the RDO community, I would get a little burned out on its current state of affairs, so I had to look elsewhere to get that fix.Īfter the relatively disappointing launch of Open Country, I was hopeful that theHunter might do the trick. To this day, it’s the one activity I always return to whenever I dip my toes back into RDO. I ended up stumbling upon it on Game Pass while searching for something to scratch that itch left unabated by the underwhelming-yet-still-incredibly-promising Open Country (so even Josh’s path to finding Way of the Hunter mirrors my own path to discovering theHunter: Call of the Wild it’s a familiar story). Released in 2017, theHunter: Call of the Wild is an open-world hunting game from developer/publisher Expansive Worlds (which is a division of Avalanche Studios Group). But considering it hasn’t released yet, I knew this couldn’t be the case.Īnd then I remembered, “Oh, that’s right, I’m thinking of theHunter: Call of the Wild.” While watching the trailer, I couldn’t help but get a feeling that I’d already played this game. Half-Glass Gaming’s owner Josh recently posted an article about the upcoming hunting sim, Way of the Hunter from Nine Rock Games and THQ Nordic.
