Every step your character takes will crunch leaves and snap twigs, potentially alerting the wildlife to your presence.

The individual animals are nearly unique, leaving it up to the player to decide from behind the scope which beast will yield the best trophy. Its massive, realistic environments are a feast for the eyes, and you'll be hard-pressed to explore every inch of them. It's enough to make even the indoorsiest gamers consider giving the real thing a try.įor the true realistic hunting aficionados, there is no better game on the market today than theHunter: Call of the Wild. The environments, animal behaviors, and player tactics are all about as realistic as it gets. We'd honestly give this one a six if we could. These hunting games are the first in an exciting new subgenre, and we can't wait to see where they go next. Encounters with the target usually consist of trying to deal enough damage to drive it off and maybe wound it for later fights, or the humans running for their lives. Standing no chance in a straight-up fight, you will need to track the monster, learn its habits, and eventually lure it into a position where you can put it down for good.īoth games have a horror element to them, as you never know quite whether you are the hunter or the hunted.

Each monster is strong, cunning, and doesn't like humans in its territory. Both Bigfoot and Folklore Hunter send you (and your friends, if you wish) to hunt a supernatural beast - the titular sasquatch and the Wendigo, respectively. Sharing this spot are two sides of the same early-access coin. Tracking cryptids across the wilderness puts these games squarely in the fantasy genre, but if you run with the premise that these creatures exist, both Bigfoot and Folklore Hunter provide a solid tracking and hunting experience that's much safer than actually trying to bag dangerous game.
