TheHunter: Call of the Wild Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
theHunter: Call of the Wild isn’t for everyone. It takes a lot of patience and can be impenetrable for those without experience in hunting simulators. But for those with the grit to push through the steep learning curve, this game is quite possibly the best hunting game of all time. If you’re curious about it, I highly recommend giving it a go.

If you wouldn’t normally touch a hunting game, I’d urge you to view theHunter: Call of the Wild as the ultimate “walking simulator” and give it a fair shake of the shotgun. I don’t regret the many rewarding hours I ploughed into this engaging, immersive safari and can see myself returning to theHunter: Call of the Wild’s wonderful wilderness again and again.
The Hunter: Call of the Wild claims to be the most immersive hunting game to date, and it easily achieves this. Older games like Big Buck Hunter were just reflex games. Even more recent games like Cabela’s Big Game Hunter: Pro Hunts (the last hunting game I played) still had a lot of arcade elements to them.

A mixture of realistic hunting simulation and literal walking simulator with a fairly gentle introduction, The Hunter: Call of the Wild is certainly not a game for the impatient. It's beautiful vistas and sedate pace make it a very chilled out experience for the most part, full of relaxing exploration, but to engage in the hunt itself is a tremendously time-consuming act.
Remind the animals who’s top of the food chain.
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.
The greatest hunting simulation game is here and it's waiting for you to take the rifle! Those interested in experiencing everything that hunting has to offer, but from the comfort of the television, need not look any further. A purely realistic experience full of amazing environmental details and the highest quality of immersion.
