![]() ![]() This also means you will not get dynamic times of day and alternating animal behaviors. If you’re in your hunt and want to change the time of day, you can’t simply sleep in your cabin or tent, but have to travel back to the lodge. That information is only viewable within certain menus in the lodge. While you’re out at your hunt there is no easy way to check your bestiary to see what ammo you need for what ammo. Some things feel needlessly complex, while others are overly simplified. My main issues with Hunting Simulator 2‘s gameplay is that it all around feels cumbersome. Towers are good combined with animal calls. Using him to track animals and praising him will level him up to become a more efficient hunting dog as well. When he finds something, you can praise him and give him a pat. He will sniff out tracks as well as continue to follow the tracks and droppings. Your Beagle is your best tool during your hunts. You get to finally play with your dog! You start off with a Beagle and you can unlock additional dogs like Labradors, who are good at fetching birds from water. Once you finally leave the cabin and begin your hunt is when you finally meet the best thing about the game. You start off next to the hunters cabin where you can swap your loadout and eventually drop off and register your day’s kills. Once a location and map is picked, you begin your hunt. Each location features two different maps that will feature different animals. There are three different locations: the plains of Colorado, the Texan desert, and the forests of Europe. This is also where you’ll choose a location to start your hunt. From here you can leave to go to the shooting range to try out any new weapons or attachments. The lodge acts as your main hub, where you can display your trophies, view your guns, take a look at a bestiary list, change the time of day, and shop. No need to grind your way to the next map.Įven at the farthest target, there is no bullet drop. What I did appreciate is that all of the hunting locations are accessible right from the start. Once the tutorial is over, you’re free to hunt as you please. There is a training tutorial that does feature voiceover to help guide you through the basics of the game, but that’s about it as far as hand holding. ![]() Hunting Simulator 2 does not feature a story mode, so what you get out of the game is up to you. Unfortunately, Hunting Simulator 2 misses all of this and ultimately feels like a hollow experience. I got to help bleed it, gut it, skin it, and butcher the deer which was an experience on its own. However, even the excitement of our group getting one and knowing we are feasting well that night was amazing. I’ve been on one excursion with a small group and I didn’t even get to shoot my rifle. My point being, even when nothing is happening in real hunting, there are things to enjoy. Heck, you even have the option to bring someone with you to enjoy all of this with. The various wildlife that skitters by or the sun rising or setting. Even when you’re stationary, you at least get to appreciate the nature around you. Your ears twitch at the slightest noise and your sight narrows in like an eagle at the smallest movements. Being in the real outdoors, hunting, heightens all of your senses. The rules don’t stop there though as each animal will also require you to use a certain weapon to kill it, then there is also the need to have a certain ammo type to kill it, as you can imagine this all can be pretty frustrating especially when out hunting and you come across a decent animal that you can’t take down because you have the wrong ammo type! It turns into a fining simulator by the end, I shot an animal twice and then saw it limping so thought I would do the right thing and put it down only to get fined again for shooting it to many times!! Some species of animals also don’t allow you to kill females, there is a lot to take in but thankfully when you zoom in on your target if there is any reason you shouldn’t be shooting that said animal a warning will come up and tell you why you shouldn’t be shooting it.There are a few ways that make real hunting a fun time and perhaps offer some thrills, even when there isn’t any. Each region will require a certain licence for that area and the animal you are wishing to hunt and even then you can only kill a set amount of that animal. There is a pretty extensive collection of things to buy with guns and licences being really important. When you first start you pretty much have nothing so accessing the laptop in the cabin will allow you to buy items. ![]()
