Have been here since beginning of 2026, and have really enjoyed most of the new features that have been implemented over the last six months. However, with the release of Early Access Update 2 lots of the NPC's have been bugging out and are very cleared AI voiced, which makes me sad because how can a game about preserving a national park be using something that is killing national parks :(

*Game is in early access, so I can recommend with caution. Currently, the game is lacking in features. The pause feature, which is very basic for a single-pllayer simulation, was just recently added. This is evidence of how primitive of a state the game is in, but on the other hand, it is assurance that the game is being worked on and improved. My biggest complaint is the lack of any guidance. I like that there are designated missions, but navigating to the location of the next objective can be difficult with minimal navigation, and figuring out exactly what to do (i.e. key press or mouse motion) can also be difficult. I was just told my shift was almost over and I needed to find a hut to rest, but there was no action to take at the rest hut or my own cabin. I thought maybe I had to go to the park office to end my shift, but I could not figure out what to do once I got to the office. A better tutorial system is definitely needed. Regarding accessibility, this game, like many, lacks a dedicated "accessibility" section in settings, but other games do still have some accessibility related settings even if they are hard to find. Control mapping, mouse sensitivity, and UI scaling are some of the most basic settings this game lacks. Another good accessibility feature would be graphical filters for colorblindness. Due to my physical disability, I also had difficulty with the hammering "minigame." The dot moves along the screen far too quickly for my reflexes to stop it accurately (which is another thing I had to figure out on my own, as there were no instructions for it).

It's an optimistic recommend. This game has a long way to go. In its current state it is definitely fun for the first few hours - the environment is beautiful, completing tasks feels satisfying and I was excited to keep progressing and discovering more of the park. If, like me, half the fun of a game like RDR2 is the time spent between missions roaming the map hunting new plant and animal species, Ranger's Path will have you hooked. BUT. It's VERY early access. As it is now, don't expect more than 5 solid hours of engaging gameplay. There are only 2 unlockable districts. I very quickly felt like I was progressing way faster than the game wanted me to, because the main missions started taking me miles across the map and after a few I got bored of driving all the way up there just to follow some footprints or pick up some breadcrumbs. I want to feel more synergy with my other tasks - not like I'm being pulled out of my lovely gameplay loop to do a job in the middle of nowhere. I kind of took that to mean I was getting ahead of myself and should be focusing more on my districts, but with them both maxed out I quickly got bored. The illegal activity tasks become predictable fast (there is only one bench that can ever be vandalised, and two spots where people will poach plants/fly drones) and without being able to unlock any more areas, I think my time with this game is up for now. But I will be straight back in when there's (hopefully) enough content to lose hundreds of hours to. I just want MORE. Added randomisation of tasks, better scaled main missions, a more in depth 'character creation' (it's more of a character selector, you have a grand total of 6 pre-set characters to chose from) - I want it all. I am excited at the thought that, with time, this will be a game I can really lose myself in.

I spent the past couple years camping every weekend at different parks across the country so during the winter months, this is exactly what I need. But ... You need to slow down the clock. It's forcing us to run everywhere to get the jobs done in time. I want to see cars on the road and I want to be able to stop speeders and ticket them. The trash just appears. One of those visitors put it there. I'd like to be able to see litter happen and cite them for it. In turn, if you wanted to go deeper, we could add cans where litter happens a lot and bring down the amount of litter that happens once these NPCs realize they'll get a ticket for it. Why won't that bear attack me? I've given it so many chances. Also, the bear should probably swat before it stands up. We have to be able to step or climb over things. The whole the ranger can't climb thing looks dumb. Bear proof trash cans. It doesn't make sense to have regular.No national parks do that. At least, I dont think they do. Indiana does. But Indiana is filthy and they dont have bears. There's gonna need to be some fine tuning to make this a four to five star game for me. Three stars in its current state. Update: They extended a day to about 45 minutes on the last update. I didn't finish a day on this one because I learned that even though I have played for almost 8 hours and have been able to before, I can no longer drive the truck. But the current mission is all the way on the other side of the map. Doesn't make sense.

I am 14 hours into playing. There are some definite perks to this game. It can be very relaxing, the graphics are beautiful and I've enjoyed most of what I've played. There have been a few glitches. I played the demo and liked it enough to buy it when it released. But here are some pros and cons - Pros - Beautiful graphics - Lots of things to look at and see - A lot of animals and plants to take pictures of - Love filling in my lexicon - Very relaxing and interesting Cons - Can be a bit glitchy still - Can feel repetitive after awhile, same quests given over and over - Limited number of tasks to do - Quests are repetitive - Vehicle very difficult to keep on the road - No preview of quest locations The office will continuously have you doing tasks, which makes sense but you only have like 30 seconds to accept it with no preview of where it is located. Often times, the tasks are so far apart, you don't have time to get to them before the day ends. When the next day starts the task is gone. There is no penalty for not sleeping, but to work so hard to get half way to a task then not make it and have it disappear, just to have them assign another task far away from where you currently are is irritating. And it happens repeatedly. Tasks should be limited to the area you are in. Because you only have until the end of the day, you feel pressured to skip all the tasks you find as your running around to get to it, such as picking up trash and fixing things. Or stopping to look for wildlife or plants to picture. I find myself turning off the office task requests frequently and just wandering around different trails to take photos and do any tasks I come across. I also frequently check permits and answer the questions. The NPCs only have a few lines and sometimes they just don't make sense. Overall, I do like the game. I will continue to play it and hope they continue to update it and provide better content. As it is, it's a good game, but does need to continue to upgrade and improve the content.
