These games were a huge hit in my elementary school friend group because you had to eat food and could set up tents. Even back in the early 2000s kids were clamoring for games with tacked on survival mechanics. Playing Cabela's Dangerous Hunts feels like wandering an empty Battlefield map where you are occasionally jumpscared by a bear. It's cool that these "realistic" simulations exist for enthusiasts but there's so much downtime in this game you might as well just walk around in the woods in real life instead.
