Way of the Hunter Reviews
Way of the Hunter is a deep and immersive hunting sim with beautiful visuals that fans of the genre will love. Unfortunately, its slow-burn gameplay and pacing, combined with the precise shooting mechanics make this game hard to recommend for new players.
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.
Net of some annoying bugs, Way of the Hunter is a simulation that certainly knows how to satisfy hunting enthusiasts, giving them a journey into the wilderness that allows them to adopt multiple approaches to kill elusive prey and almost always convincing behaviors.

Crushingly difficult. Glacially paced. Graphically challenged. And yet there is something hypnotic and impressive about the scope of Way of the Hunter and it's devotion to maintaining a realistic hunting experience, for better or for worse. Go into this one expecting realism - and I mean real-life, semi-boring realism - and you will be in the right frame of mind.
With grandfather having fallen ill, someone has to take care of the hunt cabin even if there are some who don not agree with it. It's the Way of the Hunter season. Time to shoot some deers.

Way of the Hunter is one of the best hunting simulators, not labelled as a simulator, that I have ever played. Once you move past (or just simply ignore) the story missions that can drag down the experience, you get to a hunting game that offers the right kind of ease and complexity. While there are some annoyances with movement, pop-ins, and strange perks, you have a beautiful game that offers co-op and two full maps with their own types of animals to hunt for. If you’re a hunting game fan, I recommend this one.
This is a very true to life video game for hunting enthusiasts who actually don’t want to kill animals in real life but some technical problems take the whole experience down a peg or two that sometimes makes you feel like that maybe Way of the Hunter needed a little more time in the oven.

Expansion Aurora Shores for hunting simulator Way of the Hunter is an honest and faithful love letter to Alaska's wildlife. New map, animal species, bunch of quality-of-life improvements and of course the new CROSBOWS improve and build upon the well-established formula of the last year's title. There are still a few minor irritations worth fixing but nevertheless, this wonderful simulation of northern nature will surely take your breath away' Good luck hunters!

The Way Of The Hunter is the real Hunter’s dream!
Way of the Hunter is a slow-paced but engrossing hunting simulation title. With beautiful scenery, stunning animals, and plenty of fantastic mechanics, this oozes realism. If you want a fulfilling and deep experience, then look no further.
Graphically this game is stunning, the environment you’ll spend your time hunting in has been done with such high detail and makes it feel like you are there in that moment. Though, the details in the animal’s fur could have been fine-tuned a little to make them look a little more real. I was having issues with the rendering distance where the grass was just randomly appearing or the trees got their high detail when I got closer which took away from the experience a little.
“Way of the Hunter” is off to a strong start and with big ambitions in mind. Whilst it falls short of other hunting games in terms of weapons and variety, it more than makes up for it with its beauty, its incredible ballistic system and some of the finest maps I’ve encountered in the genre.

If you have no patience to wait and hunt slowly this is a game you might want to avoid, but if you are in for a true simulation game in every sense, this would be the game for you.
