theHunter: Call of the Wild™

really good game for realistic hunting

This is honestly really fun to play, and surprisingly engaging for all the stealth and patience you'll need to perform. Some glitches, such as deer bouncing off trees like a light reflection striking back at you, slightly ruin the game. When scoping in, it's annoying for them to not load in, despite being the highest graphical level render distance, which isn't realistic. I swear the callers do not work; countless times spending 20 mins + searching for a single deer.

Still, pretty good!
7/10

Somehow after 8 years this is still the best hunting game I have found and because of this the DLC is greedy. Free mods make for a nice improvement.

i highly recommend this game for who can not go out side in world and never had a hunting experience even wondering in these maps is so much peaceful. ULTRA REALISTIC texture environment makes you a better mind set and peaceful experience.

I recommend this game when it goes on sale. If you want a good hunting game, set aside some money, buy the hunting starter pack bundle, a reserves bundle (if you find it), and a weapons + companions bundle (if you find it).

Look over the remaining DLC for anything that catches your eye, I recommend focusing on reserves for the most part; the game and a bunch of DLC is absolutely worth $50 dollars. DLC reserves that are mostly positive reviews are exceptional and imo must-haves (people are not lying about silver ridge), while the others ultimately just depend on your preferences. Read over the mixed review reserves' ... well, reviews .. and decide for yourself if you want any of them. When on sale, a lot of the unpopular maps become tolerable and even fun.

Bought during steam spring sale; very good. Would not recommend buying the game and a bunch of DLC otherwise.

Also don't forget to grab your free DLCs.

I absolutely love this game! It’s really sad that my main account got hacked, especially since I had been playing for such a long time. Even now, I still find it incredibly fun. Luckily, I managed to recover most of my progress by retrieving my old files.

I was never really into achievement hunting in this game, this game was always more about having fun and vibing with friends. However, after my main account got banned, I lost the motivation to go for 100% completion. It was disappointing to lose some progress, but at the end of the day, I’ll keep playing just for the fun of it with my friends.

Overall, I highly recommend this game to anyone who loves hunting games and wants to enjoy the experience with friends!

Takes a few hours to get into and get some high powered weapons. After that its very fun. You need the ATV or you could never explore some of the deep country or mountain top!!! Overall its a fun game if you like stalking or calling in game!!!! The long range shooting is also good!! 243 or 270 ALL DAY!!!

This game is actually amazing. I don't play lots of hunting games but this one is just amazing. The graphics, the sounds, and the atmosphere are perfect for a game like this. The only thing I don't like are the DLCs, but 5 dollars isn't that bad. PLEASE BUY

If your are looking for a fast pace hunting game this is the game to play. This game is very good but one thing you shouldn't do is try to get a great one the second you get the game. I started trying to get one after 50 hours into the game and realized i need a lot of money and time for it. You will get burnt out after a bit. This game is very good but don't rush it.

Whether or not you would like this game depends on the kind of games you like, if you enjoy games that are slow paced then this game is for you. However if you prefer faster paced games then this may not be you, it is worth a try and if you don't like it you can get a refund. Overall, it just depends on whether or not you like these kinds of games.

A fantastically looking game that runs exceptionally well for the visuals it offers. Vast habitats that look stunning and it is surprisingly responsive in its movement/terrain collision. The levels of detail at a distance blend so well that you can't pinpoint separation lines, and it visuallizes the entire world, which is multiple kilometers long/wide. The vistas that are revealed at the top of hills are stunning and accurate (in the sense that what you see - you can go there). Genuinely a fantastic game. More than fantastic. The "story" missions also have full narration, something that even AAA games are missing sometimes. It is worthwhile buying some of the DLCs, which is a bummer that content is separated into DLCs, but the game costs 20 euro without sales and looks and plays like a 60 euro game. I don't think there is anything else that captures the beauty of nature in a better way.

Literally just saw my first ever great one moose the minute i hit 700 hours, this game has become my life and it should become yours too
buy the game now and buy all the dlcs too! (just like i did)
its worth it.

Very good game its amazing and recommended. Pls add the Pamir mountains tajikistan map its my fav idea yet.

One of those games where when you buy it, its no where near the full game, and you have to keep buying DLCs.
If im going to use up to 100gb in space, im going to download the real best hunting game, RDR2

I shot an animal 8 times and followed its blood trail long enough to cover a small country... but game pretty and lets me stalk something that's not my neighbor so I'd say its a good trade off.

amazing graphics, game play, and community online. If you ant a good hunting game this is the best you will find. the maps are huge and unique

Amazing game!! Highest quality and most enjoyable hunting game I've played in my life.

Very fun game. You can choose to run and gun, or take things slower and more realistic. Always come back to this game!

learned hunting patterns i did not know. took me a while to track down big game and get it. worth it. scenery is amazing, sounds and nature portrayal in this game are amazing.

good story line in single player and theres a lot of diffrent maps and types of animals you can get

fun...execpt you have to wait 5 hours to get a deer down with the begigning gun

this game is great but i would get the free one though this ones a little pricey great hunting game great graphics 8/10

Fun but unplayable without dlc

A tranquil, visually stunning hunting sim. Master patience tracking realistic wildlife across vast biomes. Perfect for nature lovers seeking immersive strategy over action.
‌9/10‌ | Play if: Zen-like exploration excites you.

fun game although the enemies are pretty easy.

yes i'd recommend, BUT...i do say that you better buy the dlc's as well bc it really makes the game feel complete. otherwise its just an ok game w/o any dlc.

sehr geiles Jagdspiel! Schöne Grafik mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Realistisch wie ich finde <3

this game is great for adventure guys and nature lovers,would recommend

Any game that includes the Thompson Center Contender gets a thumbs up. The Thompson Center Contender is a break action hunting pistol that has changeable barrels, so you can shoot a range of calibers from .22 to .44 magnum comfortably. You can stress it out and do hotter loads of 45-70, but this isn't recommended as it can warp the frame. The pistol in the game is only chambered in .243 unfortunately. I can pray in the future they add a .22 barrel for smaller game, and a 7-30 Waters for some variety.

As far as the hunting gameplay it's really fun! Animals are way smarter in the game than in real life, so it's a slower paced game. Stalking a lion for an hour feels really good when you land a perfect heart shot.

it is very fun and and there are lots of DLC's and there is so much to do you can go hunting all over the world you can hunt big game like bare or moos too small game like red fox and racoon and if you dont want to hunt masiv game or small game you can hunt dear willd hog and many more

sorry if my spelling is not amasing sorry

Its an amazing game and graphics are great.

This game is a fun relaxing FPS that takes hunting games to the next level. After years of playing this on xbox and buying all of the DLC here I am doing it all over again as an elite race PC gamer. It has been a blast 10/10 recommend to more players!

The game does not save games inexplicably, it is unacceptable that a game more than 9 years old still has such a serious bug, they have not even released a manual patch to save/load manually.

Only worth it when its on sale,

the base game is mediocre , (surprised multiplayer isnt a dlc) you need most of the dlc's to have fun.

the only good thing i can say is that if your playing with your friends only one person has to have the dlc.

The atv should be free as movement in the game is very slow, painfully slow.

if they were to make a dlc for a vehicle, why not have a 4x4 car that everyone can ride in and actually make it fast. in that case the dlc would be worth it

Sometimes can't click menu options or play the game. Mediocre when it does work. 4/10

game fun. deer taking two revolver shots, both claiming to be a no organ hit isn't.

I like that the hunting in this game is not overly difficult. The scenery is beautiful, and relaxing.

absolutely stunning game but it requires alot of patience
the details are amazing
the guns and maps are wide ranged
the mechanics are realistic
most of the gameplay can be boring but rewardiing
the lore and stories of maps and missions are fabulous especially vurhonga savana
by far the best hunting game ive played

Amazing graphics, great game play and a real grind for the Great One!!!!

Really fun game and you meet a lot of other really cool people and overall best game

The gameplay when playing with friends:
Yo! That's an animal... right?
Well who cares anyways, just shoot that thing.

The gameplay when I play alone:
That sure looks like an animal of some sort but it seems I only have this rifle that absolutely explodes anything that's smaller than an elephant... IS THAT A PHEASANT!??!?
*proceeds to turn the bird into fine red mist and a pile o' feathers*

In conclusion the game is really fun to play with or without friends.

great game but its a lot better with dlcs

The side quests Can be very challenging but they are predictable fetch quests "Bag X-type animal, using y-type weapon, from z-distance or during a-time of day. The game maps are large and take a long time to master due to limited fast travel points and animal spooking radii.

The base game weapons perform adequately for their intended classes, so shot placement is paramount. A things bug me about this game but are not egregious enough to be deal breakers:

Scent hounds will chase trails across bodies of water that the hunter cannot cross, even though the trail remains on land, thus calling off the chase.

Hounds and animals get stuck navigating up/down hills with obstacles

Tracks do not render well enough for tracking unless the "highlight" cheat option is enabled

Head lamps don't spook or stun wildlife

Cover scent effectiveness is hard to judge. The wind indicator could do a better job showing the reduction or change in shape.

There is a lot of DLC for this game and the DLC has a meaningful impact on play style/difficulty. There is also a lot of Youtube and FAQ content out on the net to help noobs.

A very peaceful and satisfying game. Getting a good shot on your prey also feels good. Highly recommend playing this game.

It is everything you'd want in a hunting game and all the dlc are worth it. I can tell I'll have many more hours on it over time

this is an amazing game to play and just chill on.My favorite part is that it is super realistic

it is fun and the next steam sale is in spring so i say that you get it it is very relaxing and you can invite friends and there is 15 different maps you can explore and about 60 animals you can hunt so i recommend and i get to play with my son it is very fun so i recamend getting it in the spring steam sale good luck

Excellent, nice looking game for those who have patience to hunt.
DLCs are great and really fit into whole theme of gameplay. They are really not expensive for what they bring.
It's really nice to see a game where you can get great/whole experience without having to buy any of them :)
Personally I like to lure animals in using treestand-scent remover-caller combo and taking them out with my crossbow or Sundberg .454 Hard-Cast up close, less than 40 meters range. A LOT OF FUN!!!
Highly recommend

love it, its realistic enugh its fun and dlcs are actually worth the money

It is a very fun game,it can be a little confusing at first and they always have good updates
