The ultimate stealth game.

It’s peaceful to walk around the woods, thinking about stuff and enjoying the wilderness, but then you hear an animal call and suddenly you think “I’m going to kill that.” That’s the Hunter in a nutshell. The core of the game is hunting animals across various locations and attempting to make amazing kills.

The big thing is this isn’t an action game. You can stake out a location and let the animals come to you, or you can stalk them down but ultimately it’s about trying to avoid animals sensing you and getting off a perfect shot. Think, every sniper or stealth mission ever. And for what it does, it’s well done, but the majority of the game is an open world, so you’re going to have to choose what to hunt, though there are quite a few choices.

Pick this up if you like stealth or hunting. I had a great time with this game, but it also is decently hard, animals will sense you at a good distance and a big piece of it is trying to find them before they find you. Still, if you can avoid rushing it, there’s a lot of fun to be had here.
