Thankfully, there’s no timer.ĭiscovering animals sooner or later (usually later) is a slow process too.
The exploration’s still enjoyable, just a slow process. Unlike Cabela’s: The Hunt – Championship Edition, there’s no ATV to aid in exploration. Your stamina’s all in all low too, not to mention running scares prey. You can run, but it’s awkward holding the stick down. Simply walking from one side of the map to the other is a time-consuming task, and that’s before you even get a weapon out.
While more or less straightforward on paper, the gameplay is quite demanding in execution. The hunting here is authentic to its namesake, a simulation. There also seems to be fewer animal species. It’s a surprising omission that’s left my replay mainly as a grind to acquire one of every weapon. I say almost entirely, as I’m aware of one key element missing from this second installment, and that’s a campaign mode. As someone who missed the original release, I’m approaching this sequel almost entirely fresh. Hunting Simulator 2 brings a return to hunting action first seen over two years ago.
