Hunting Simulator 2 Reviews
Hunting Simulator 2 has many, many problems, but the biggest one being it is a hunting simulator. This inherent flaw starts you off on the wrong foot as the act of hunting is typically slow and fairly uninteresting. When that is combined with everything else the game stumbles with, you are left with a crawling simulator with guns in it. I cannot recommend this game to anyone but the most hardcore of hunters, and I suspect that audience won’t be reading a review about a videogame.
Hunting Simulator 2 unfortunately misses the majority of feelings that come with actual hunting. With cumbersome systems, clunky gameplay, unbalanced currency system, and no dynamic day/night cycle, Hunting Simulator 2 feels like a test of patience in the wrong way, that ultimately does not pay off.
If a slow paced beautiful walking simulator is your bag, with an added bit of shooting then you may find some enjoyment here.
Hunting Simulator 2 focuses on realism over gameplay, creating a frustratingly slow experience that you’ll want to forget.
Although it may be a little too slow-paced for some, Hunting Simulator 2 offers a robust simulation which faithfully recreates many of the most important aspects of real-world hunting. There are a huge variety of distinct weapons to try out on the three included maps which are of an impressive scope and scale. The whole thing comes together to create an immersive world and an overall experience that the right player will enjoy getting lost in; quite possible for many hours at a time.
Hunting Simulator 2 delivers on its titled premise, with a wide range of options for going about on the hunt while also being somewhat boring at the same time.
Hunting Simulator 2 isn’t a bad game, but its slow-paced gameplay and focus on realism does mean that it isn’t always fun to play. Whilst I’m sure plenty of gamers will enjoy the process of tracking animals carefully, following the rules to a tee, and investing themselves completely in their gear, I just found that it all got a bit boring fast. There’s no denying that it does have its moments where it shines and getting a clean kill can be rewarding, but for the most part Hunting Simulator 2 is just a bit of a drag.
Hunting Simulator 2 is made for a very niche audience, there is just too much downtime for the average gamer. Finding wildlife to shoot is a tremendous timely task that becomes really boring after a few minutes
