TheHunter: Call of the Wild - The Good, Bad, & Ugly (Review)

Today we jump into a commentary about the current state of TheHunter: Call of the Wild. The Hunter Call of the Wild was released just over 6 years ago and although I like a lot about the game I had to bring to attention the cons about purchasing this simulation hunting game. Let me know in the comments if you like this style of video and want to see more reviews!

    I would love a hunting game this immersive but where you hunt mythical creatures
  • @dinsdag6juli2010
    It's on sale so often it actually entered the top 10 most downloaded games in my country... it's about 6 bucks now, I think I'll try it out.
  • @Gruntly
    Are you playing TheHunter: Call of the Wild?
  • @CalebLane67
    I’ve put 570 hours into the game. Recently reached level 60!!!
  • I got my first diamond yesterday. It was a massive javan russ!!
  • @brayden1870
    It's a great game but the problem is they need to find something to keep the game fresh like a limited time animal every couple weeks
  • @MH-dy5pb
    The game is fun but it looks fuzzy/blurry and lags badly if i get close to an animal on an original xbox one
  • @davis6048
    Don't forget to say some thing about all the glitches In this game where you can lose everything In the lodges among other glitches like right now you can't even use a bow they shoot four or five feet low, can't even use your first sight pins. EW does not do repairs like it should.......
  • @JudeM22
    I see everything your saying. I love this game so much. Being on console you don’t need to purchase atv’s or tents and tripods they come with the base game. Idk why that’s different on pc. One thing I really agree with you on is the multiplayer being ugly. Yes there’s a lot of positives about multiplayer but I feel there is a lot of problems with it. Overall great video love ya gruntly!
  • @GWAR_x_L3G1T
    I know this vid is a few months old but as someone who loves this game, as an Xbox player I never knew the quad and the tents were dlc because they are in the base game on here, that's kinda wild honestly
  • @DravenZord
    Alright my dudes. I just picked up call of the wild. First time player here. Let us be friends 🤘🏻🤘🏻

    As someone that started playing this game recently, I'm not a fan of this game. The first thing I disliked was how janky the inventory/story/item menu is. I get that it needs to be realistic but it's just so slow, I want to hunt and not spend a lifetime figuring out how the inventory system works. The second thing I disliked, the immersion it's just not right for me, if I run, I get detected by animals instantly over 200m and through solid terrain and if I slow walk I can sneak up to anything with ease. I also dislike how some animals just run non stop while other will run 50m, stop and completely ignore you even though you're in plain site and just startled them allowing you to just run them down. Lets not forget about calls and how it just tells you where the animal is, what it is and how far away it is.... why? I want to hunt new things and learn what they are and how to hunt them.... and what about the spotter scope giving you xray vision.... seriously its supposed to be realistic... I want to like this game but its just not what I expected from a realistic hunting game.

    The hitboxes in this game still need fixing. I sneaked on a level 7 red deer sleeping and shot the lung peaking out just behind the tree, there was a clear amount of space between the tree and where i aimed, yet the animal didnt get shot at 20 meters because some invisible hitbox blocked the god damn shot. I wasted so much time on stupid glitches ruining my hunts even though the game is old af.
  • Nice video, but regarding DLCs. I purchased game before xmas in 2023, just because there was free to play weekend on steam (I had no idea that games like this even exists - I wasnt searching for them, it just pop on my screen) and then it costs like 3€. Because game was so nice. I decided to purchase all DLCs just to support developing of the game. Keep in mind I purchased it via xmas discounts and all DLCs cost like +/-40€. That price is way cheaper than most games on PC. The frustration from not killing animals early in game was very frustrating. I will never forget I was tracking bleeding whitetail deers for up to 2km :D which took me like 10-15mins in real time. That was before I had a dog. What really helped me to understand "the ability to kill" was real life hunting videos with explaining anatomy of the animals and also the moment where I "learnt" to show X-ray vision on harvest screen. After that I was heading in right direction when I realized what organs to hit and where they are. As FPS gamer I am kinda disappointed that headshots aint rewarded and they hurts ur trophies because u hit trophy organ :D Then I get to higher levels unlocking better ammo, learn how penetration is important. When I knew where to shoot but had trouble to aim properly (aiming wasnt automatic as it is now), then I purchased all DLCs and with new weapons like zarza .308 it was super easy to hunt whitetails deers. So far I have been on 5maps and I am still shocked about graphic. When I climb via story mission on highest peak in Silver Ridge Peaks. I was enjoying graphic for a minute, because it was just beautiful. With tomorrow newest patch I just finished my set up on Silver Ridge Peaks for my first grind for black bears. But my favourite game style is still to wander randomly on map and using bow to kill everything I see ;) I hope repetitiveness of grinds wont make me dislike the game.
  • @Korelie
    I recently started hunting simulator 2 and I'm enjoying it a lot, now saw this one on sale for 21€, does the master hunter edition include all dlcs?
  • @sherylbeeman7685
    I've been trying to play this for quite literally months, sadly despite shooting a lung shot on multiple fallow and roe deer and them just not drop, I appreciate you're opinion on this game but could you give me some tracking and shooting tips? I know I've been getting lung shots but if they don't drop with a lung shot I need some advice on what to aim at
  • @russkiy4218
    I got my first diamond just 1 hour ago but my friend saved the harvest
  • @JaroPivarci
    Just bought it yesterday, can't wait to play this on Xbox
  • @BOMBAY1
    Hey mate! Great video! Do you know anything that would let me freeze the game or use a freecam for screenshots? cinematics. I would love to create some artwork.
