They also said in a trailer that predatory animals will hunt other animals. The game says that different time of day influences different animals behaviour. I haven't seen any animals sitting around or sleeping. Really cool.Īnimals just seem to walk around and eat or drink. When it's raining, your screen becomes slightly foggy and rain water drips down the sides of the screen. The rain and fog in this game are really cool. You can buy clothing which give stats for different weather conditions and visibility. When you select a map to hunt in from the lodge, it will tell you what the weather will be like. The weather and time of day isn't dynamic. From the cabin you can change your loadout and get more ammo but you can't change the time of day or the weather. You are given extra stats on your kill when you go back to your cabin. From there, you can either sell it or claim it as a trophy. You always have to return to your cabin to claim what you've hunted. You can't customise or get more ammo from the tents like in the first game. There are also tents, which you also have to find, and they only let you fast travel around from tent to tent or back to your cabin. You have to find them first because it won't show up on your map. The maps have towers and shelter things that you can hunt from. Unlike in the previous game or COTW you can find groups of up to 10 deer drinking by the river. At most, I have found 2 pairs of animals together. The European maps have these wide open areas and when looking around, it's all empty. You can walk around for a very long time before you hear or see anything. Where this game falls flat.For instance, some maps just feel empty. For instance you can bag between 1-5 deer and 1 bear, moose or any other larger animal. You need to buy animal licenses for each location for what you want to hunt and each licence gives you a limit of how many animals you can bag. Everything is available to you from the start and you purchase items with in game money that you earn from hunting animals. There are no missions, no levelling or unlocks in the game. You are rewarded cash penalties in the game like shooting a female animal, shooting an animal with the wrong ammo, shooting an animal one to many times and so on. You have different time of day, morning, evening and afternoon which you select at a bed from the hunting lodge before heading out. There are 3 regions with 2 locations for each varying in map size and animals. The graphics are a hit and a miss but the lighting and weather effects are amazing. The dog is a great addition to the game when it comes to tracking and collecting small game. The weapons are cool and they do have recoil. The game looks like it has a lot going on but eventually, it falls flat. The game feels like No Mans Sky on release. You can run as fast as a spooked deer in this game. You can literally run up behind a deer when it's running away.

They have an icon above them that changes from white to orange then red for alert. It seems that within 50m the animals become alert. Animals no longer have the 3 point sight, smell and noise like in the first game. There is no information for how much noise you are making or how visible you are to animals like in COTW. There are no sound effects when moving through bushes. The dog also doesn't have sound effects when swimming or walking through water. It gains stamina by walking and running around and experience from finding and tracking tracks. The dog will like you more then you reward it after finding a track. The dog has 3 stats - Stamina, experience and how much it likes you. You have to return to your lodge to make another purchase.

When your license runs out during a hunt because you've killed 5/5 deer or instance, you can't purchase another license while hunting. You also can't tell the dog what type of animal you want it to look for which is annoying because sometimes it will find tracks for animals that you don't have a license or gun for. Unfortunately you can't tell the dog to permanently stop tracking so you can move to another location and then ask the dog to start searching for tracks. If the animal gets away, you can just use the dog to track the blood. Using the caller and getting into position is very satisfying. Hearing an animal in the distance is always exciting. It will sniff around looking for tracks and then it's up to you to tell the dog to track or move on. The dog is an excellent addition to the game.

I am anticipating patches and updates as the PC version nears release. This is just me writing with whatever comes to mind and hopefully this will give you guys a clear and in depth look into deciding if you should buy this game or not. I've sunk in about 8hrs into the game so far and here is my review. I bought this game on release for the PS4.
