Hunting Simulator 3
Critic Reviews for Hunting Simulator 3
Not for the faint of heart, Hunting Simulator 3 is a commitment. It strips away the frantic pacing of the games I usually play in favor of a grounded, realistic simulation. It’s not for the player who wants a quick fix of dopamine. It’s for the player who wants to feel the weight of the gear, the tension of the track, and the quiet satisfaction of a well-prepared hunt. All said and done it earns the Thumb Culture Gold Award.
There is plenty to enjoy here, from preparing your loadout with real-world equipment to tracking wildlife and building an awesome-looking trophy collection. The scenery and environmental audio create a convincing atmosphere, but rough textures, awkward animal presentation and disappointing AI-generated voice acting take away from it all. I enjoyed heading out and hunting, although the more arcade-like feel left me wanting deeper simulation.
