With a game that does such a great job of being a blast to play with your friends, it does a fairly poor job of helping you to grow your friend list.

While this seems like a very small issue, in reality when you are hunting a herd of animals it is important to time your movements and shots, and that is just not possible to do effectively through the text communication system. Taking a pretend drive on my ATV! Never grow up!īeing that you can't copy and paste from the game it also becomes a burden for those people that join your server and want to hunt with you to join your discord. Being from the North West, I was blown away by how accurate the terrain was in the Lake District map, from the trees to the reed fill draws, it looks like the woods I grew up enjoying with my family. The landscape is absolutely beautiful, filled with amazing mountain top views to sweeping valleys, all looking like something from my last journey into the local Oregon forest.

To say that I was surprised by this game would be an understatement as I have already surpassed 60 hours of gameplay in the last two weeks and can't wait to log back in. I had high hopes, being that the game was based on a “New” Apex engine much like Just Cause 3 and Mad Max, so I knew at the very least it was going to look pretty decent. I then, of course, purchased it blindly based on the screenshots and a few good reviews, ignoring most of the gripes about the original game and its plague of microtransactions. I found The Hunder: Call of the Wild by accident while a steam balance was burning a hole in my virtual pocket.
