it's been a long time since I had not played a simulation game and I was able to test TheHunter: Call of the wild.
It should be known that on the basic license, this type of game offered to pay for having new weapons, ammunition, etc ... and that is what put off a lot of players. Once bought, you can unlock everything inside without spending a euro! There is not even a payment system or whatever.
Obviously the game will not arouse interest in everyone, but for fans of simulation games it will be able to do more than satisfy them. Basic, I have always loved hunting but I forbid myself by personal conviction. So, I have fun on TheHunter: Call of the wild and the sensations are there or almost (I would not find myself in the middle of the forest in a pouring rain ...).

TheHunter: Call of the wild
As I said, you really have to start on the principle that there will not be action every 3 minutes and you will not be able to throw balls of fire on the poor deer that frolic in the forest . A simulation game it takes time and learning because yes you will be released from the beginning without further explanation except "find traces" ...
As in reality, the game does not allow the error and your missteps will make your targets escape (even if sometimes this bug). The basic equipment is:
A rifle with a bezel
Twins
A Deer Call
A box that makes meuuuuh (I think it's for deer but to confirm)

The designers of the game have nevertheless thought of putting some hunting missions that will give a certain interest to the game even if sometimes the missions are not obvious. Not too far from the beginning for example it will be necessary to kill an animal at night. Already the day hunting is complicated, then the night ... So I guess we need to light the torch to see the traces but not when we approach the animal. Note that there is no notion of distance from the beginning.
An xp system is in place and you will be able to acquire talents and skills to become a better hunter.
There are two natural reserves available, you can change directly from one to the other. I advise you to attack the one in Germany, it is only a personal feeling but in the beginning you will have to farmer to buy new weapons, ammunition, call, etc ... For my part, I found it easier to kill deer using deer as deer. Also try to spot unobstructed areas such as fields that will allow you to use your binocular supers. The forest is a calvary at the beginning ...
You will also have the opportunity to mount observation points or huts to track your prey. The mobility is not my strong I did not test too much that side.
The wind will also be part of the game and will redirect your tracking because the animals can perceive your smell (as in reality what is the principle of the game of simulation).
Atmosphere, ambiance ...
Graphically, the game is very beautiful one feasts to stroll on these maps that are immense. The weather changes are fairly regular and can destabilize when stalking.
The sound atmosphere is also at the rendezvous and do not make my mistake at the beginning, put on a helmet! Indeed, it will be easier to detect all the sounds especially the steps of the animals that could happen right or left .

The less that make crazy
The game by cons contains a lot of bugs that for me do not reduce the gaming experience once all settle.
Already some shortcuts do not work because it seems to me that the keyboard reacts like an American keyboard. If you want to adjust the keys, everything can go wrong without reassigning the keys so the solution is to reset the parameters and no longer touch anything ... The tabs will allow you to navigate the various tabs of the game.
Similarly the inventory and equipment of the weapons is not the most ergonomic and on top of that text passes over the ammunition: 'D finally a few troublesome bugs but not blocking.
I tested the windowed mode and there the developers did not manage the shift of the screen of the blow it is necessary to click just below the buttons of interactions to validate the actions.
In the end I hope that the game will have a big update to correct all these bugs. You will be able to emphasize my obstinacy to continue the game and I hope that I would have a medal for that.
I will come back ...
To finish the bugs mentioned above does not prevent in any case to appreciate the game. I spent many hours on it and I will come back to it. So if you like fighter simulation games, you will not be disappointed.
thank you for the information
