A beautiful, fun, mostly realistic hunting simulator. The shooting is great, making you feel tense, amazed, satisfied from a clean kill, but also angry when you miss. It’s not as polished as it could be but if you like hunting games, you will not be disappointed here.
Way of the Hunter is an engaging hunting game. You’ll skulk around the
bushes, experience some breathtaking views and unfortunately step not
only in animal feces but also in a couple of bugs and simplifications.
It’s obviously not a game for everyone, but it’s plenty satisfying and
might devour a lot of your free time.
2023: the game is awesome and very beautiful. Gamplay and sounds fantastic. Pro: - Graphic

I hope more new DLC coming! (Norway, Finnland
Way of the Hunter is a deep and immersive hunting sim with beautiful visuals that fans of the genre will love. Unfortunately, its slow-burn gameplay and pacing, combined with the precise shooting mechanics make this game hard to recommend for new players.
Way of the Hunter brings us a hunting simulator that would have been a great experience. Due to its steep learning curve and various problems, it turned out disappointing.
What holds Way of the Hunter back is that most of it doesn’t feel fully realized or polished. Performance is an issue, bugs are an issue, accessibility is an issue and, in many cases, the quality of the game’s systems are an issue. While I suspect things will improve over time, Way of the Hunter is a long way from where my expectations lie.
I've been playing this game for the last 2 days and yes there are bugs, but, based on my experiences so far, not to the extend of what is being described here in the reviews. Sound is buggy and it's annoying at times, I've had a couple of glitches here and there that took me out of my immersion. And i'm not sure if they purposely made certain bushes or branches look like animals fro afar to confuse you, but that is kind of annoying. Especially when you zoom in and see that they look nothing like they look from afar... But other than that I've had so much fun on this game. The tracking takes s alot of patience and the graphic is great. Playing on my ultra wide curved monitor running on the best possible graphic setting has been AMAZING. and the FOV CAN be adjusted, i'm not sure whether it has been fixed recently but that's not an issue for me like others have commented. 8/10 purely based on how much i enjoy the experience so far.
This game is too much of a mess to give a good score to. Its has some upside to it, but half of those features don't work. The graphics are good, but sound is god awful. Models are good most of the time with occasional T posing when running. Unfortunately there are too many game breaking issues should have been a $20 game
Way of the hunter was supposed to be the "killer" of TheHunter: Call of the wild and the basics are here - stunning visuals, interesting gameplay, a lot of "realism". The finished product however, lacks any polishing and should be in early access and development for at least six more months. At it's current state, Way of the hunter is barely playable and really not recommended.
Pros:
+ stunning visuals
+ limited ammo (so you can't hold enough ammo to fuel medium sized war as in CoTW)
+ really impressive "claim prey" screen with a lot of information about the killing shot and the animal
Cons:
- a whole lot of bugs. Devs and paid reviewers are trying to sell the story of "few bugs here and there" but that's not true
- terrible FOV with no options to change it
- terrible and not-intuitive controls, with no options to change them as well
- limited and boring collection of weapons and equipment
- worst voice acting i have seen in the last few years
- it's freezing a lot, it's crashing a lot and often saves are getting corrupted
- co-op broken to extend to be unplayable
- tracking is not really working. There are tracks showing where animals are usually going through, but the actual animals are not leaving tracks
- "ghost bullets". Sometimes (like 25% of the shots) are not counted, even if you are 100% hitting the animal. No reaction, no blood, no kill
And so on, the list can go for few pages. Way of the hunter is not worthy of your time, or your money - check it again in few months and after (hopefully) few big patches.
Simulated time waste, no speed up option, find a spot a head of time, wait an hour and nothing happens. I realized I bought a boredom simulator with no action after the first few times. Currently I’m making coffee and going into my garage while my hunter sits in a blind doing absolutely nothing. Yesterday I mowed the grass while the simulator ran and ran. Worst game ever unless you like afk games I cannot recommend this unless you are handicap in one arm and need the slow pace game to compensate. Call of the wild is miles a head in the action department.
Shout out to all the fluffers of this game, you got me to buy it. Congrats
If you switch items the game is so hardcore at wasting time that you have to watch the full animation of every item, want a duck call and it’s the third item? You have to watch the animationsof the first two to get the call you want. You Can’t just grab what you want or switch when you realize.
