I have 300+ hours in theHunter COTW and while I prefer that over this, I do think this is a good alternative. This is a different experience to that of COTW in many ways. This game is heavier on the story side, with a lot of small objectives, lore and dialogue running whenever you progress just a little bit. It however, doesnt feel quite as heavy and crisp as COTW does. This feels lighter in movement and shooting and to me more like a cheaper experience. I also dont think the environments are as beautiful as they are in COTW and I find tracking animals much much harder here. There seems to be no arrows or guiding in terms of where the animals went, just blood splatter that you will have to walk around looking for, which sometimes can be impossible to find. I understand that this is more realistic, but not necessarily more fun. At least get me a dog or something. Things like noise saturation, trails, calls, fur types, ammunition types, attachments and so on are very similar though and I didnt really find anything here that COTW does better. I will actually say that the menu and just general UI feels better in this game, being much easier to navigate through. The car is also pretty fun to cruise around in. I think this is an alright alternative to COTW, if you happen to need an alternative or just got bored playing the same game forever. Price wise they are very similar and you can catch both of them on sale for just a few bucks regularly. If you havent played any of them, I would still pick COTW. ————————————————————————————— [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45534557/]Help me out by following my Curator, I’d really appreciate it!!

As close to hunting you can get on a computer. The maps/environments are huge and gorgeous. The animal behavior is impressive. So far each of the species has it own behavior characteristics that are very realistic. Rifle ballistics and shot review are an added bonus. Overall, the gameplay is smooth and has a great balance between structured gameplay and free roaming. I can do missions or take a break and just go hunt in a massive open world. The hunter sense feature is super cool and helpful. This game is exactly what I was hoping for. Long calming walks in the wilderness broken up by intense moments of hunting.
What's the difference between Way of the Hunter, and The hunter: Call of the Wild; and which is my favorite. In this little essay I will figure that out by comparing Way of the Hunter to The Hunter: Call of the Wild. First, let's get a little background. Way of the Hunter is a realistic hunting simulator, while Call of the Wild takes those aspects and simplifies it for a more casual experience. Way of the Hunter (WotH) is a realistic hunting sim made by 9 rock games, and THQ Nordic. It features 6 maps, 4 being DLC, and a pretty good variety. Call of the Wild (CotW) is a more casual simulator made by EW (Expansive Worlds), and published by Avalanche Studios. It has over 50 DLC’s which mainly include Cosmetics; other DLC’s are reserves, dogs, lodges, guns, etc. It has over 15+ different reserves. Starting maps. WotH has Translvania, and Nez Perce Valley. Featuring over 20+ different species including Brown bear, Black Bear, Moose, etc. The maps aren’t overly brushy with foliage though. CotW has Hirschfelden, and Layton Lake; both maps have 9 unique base game species. Unlike WotH, Hirschfelden is REALLY bushy. Layton Lake after the update is kinda empty of animals. WotH gets a 8/10, CotW gets a 7.5/10 for starter maps. DLC maps. CotW has GREAT maps… and some mid maps, mostly great though. The only mid maps are maps that are really bushy. Best maps include Yukon Valley, Silver Ridge peaks, Askiy Ridge, and Emerald Coast. Way of the Hunter has 4 DLC maps… they suffer none of the problems CotW has… EXCEPT horrible variety. Yeah with 4 maps you’re not gonna get top tier variety compared to CotW. Even with “Bushy” maps, none of the CotW DLC maps are bad in MY opinion. One side note, I find CotW maps to be way more beautiful, and saturated; with cool unique areas. CotW gets a 8.5/10, while WotH gets a good solid 8/10. Animal behavior. Cut to the chase, WotH already wins. Even though WotH has the BEST animal behaviour, CotW still has TOP tier animal behaviour. CotW 8.9/10, and WotH gets 11/10. Difficulty. Way of the Hunter, even at its lowest difficulty is still PRETTY hard to be honest. CotW takes all THAT and makes it way more simplified. This subject is pretty depending on the player preference, but I definitely like CotW difficulty more. I’m not huge on spooking an animal before I’m even 300 meters away. Easy mode fixes some of my problems, but CotW is way more casual. Animal Designs. I think design wise, WotH is slightly better. Because of the CotW Grizzly bear, I went down a rabbit hole to find out the reason it's so big. SO, fun fact grizzly bears are actually SMALLER than Brown bears, which is what got me SO confused why Grizzlys are rated a level 8, while brown bears are rated a level 7????. After plenty of research; I came to the conclusion.. They based it off the Alaskan Peninsula Brown Bear. Which is an Alaskan brown bear/ Grizzly. A subspecies only rivaled in size by the Polar Bear, and Kodiak Bears; and the only reason it doesn’t get on the bear podium is because grizzlies are smaller in the lower 48… so… yeah. Over all, it comes down to personal preference. (my favorite is CotW if I didn’t make that clear.)
