Sure you get lures, callers, and a pet dog to help you but outside of that, it’s all very arcadey. That’s not the case, Hunting Simulator 2 is an arcade approach to the genre. Just that name alone, Hunting Simulator 2 would immediately tell me I am going to get the most realistic “simulator” experience. Armed with basic but important information I jumped into hunting Simulator 2. Growing up in Bristol, I have been exposed to hunting and tracking animals since my early days, that’s how I wish I could start my review but in reality, the truth is, I grew up playing Cabela games and more recently the rather awesome Hunter Call of the Wild on Steam. Here I return to the hunting grounds of Hunting Simulator 2, This time with more power! Reading back over my previous review, not a lot has changed except I let a lot of the niggles from before pass, and the extra power definitely helps with the loading and general loo of the textures. No preface on profit from selling a trophy over keeping it, with no info given when you do sell a trophy.Constant juggling act with clothing and powders.No noise indicator for you and animals.Limited room for items like lures, callers, and binoculars.No help/clues on where other blinds, fast travel points may be.Info on track points is not helpful, it doesn’t give any indication of direction, blood only says the color of it and not blood amount.The lodge just means you have a lot of unnecessary walking to do in order to change options.You rely so heavily on your companion for all things tracking.Hard to track kills with your eyes as the blood is not that visible.Pain in the ass to keep going back to the cabin to claim trophies.Buy powders to show wind direction and speed.Bags- buy new ones to add more items and weapon slots.Clothing can make you more or less visible and is categorized by weather type.All locations are open from the get-go.Cabin- here you can claim your bagged kills, change loadout, refill ammo, change companion, and fast travel out or go back to the lodge.Animal noises will pop on the screen and tell you what animal it is.You claim the kill to get the animal stats like weight/size/time taken and score. Bagging a kill will show you-where you hit them, sex/age/region/district/weapon/distance.Spotting-look down your sights to spot and the game will tell you if you have the right ammo to take it down and what animal and sex it is.You can level up your companion and they have 3 traits-expertise/drive/stamina and you earn EXP by praising them and using them often.Tents-find them and they act as fast travel points.Map-you can add waypoint and markers with specific stamps like animal types/tents/stands etc.
