theHunter: Call of the Wild Reviews
When theHunter: Call of the Wild works properly, it’s still going to be a game that only those with the patience of a saint would enjoy. It’s very slow, full of barriers, and isn’t very exciting. That’s not to say it’s not completely without merit as it’s a stunner to look at and there are rare occasions where everything comes together to make a compelling experience. Just note that those rare occasions are few and far between.
If hunting is your bag then theHunter is a game which could very much tick all the right boxes for you. Compared to the competition I’ve experienced this is right there at the top of the pile, and it’s a game which is only going to grow as Expansive Worlds continues to layer it with more content.
It's not that it's a pure niche piece of software, as every single simulation game is like that. theHunter: Call of the Wild's biggest issue is that it got released in a pretty bad state, and still hasn't been fixed… And it's a real shame, because, when it decides to work, it can be quite the immersive experience and feels a lot closer to what it wants to - the best of its kind.
Call of The Wild feels like a step back from classic theHunter. Even without microtransactions, the game facilitates way too much tracking animals, and removes the thrilling feeling of finding your target.

theHunter: Call of the Wild is a satisfying game and I personally consider it one of the best exponents of its kind. Certainly the title is only intended for a lover of the genre, not suitable for those who prefer a frantic product.
