Open Hunting XL

There's the makings of something good here. The problem is, the developer does not know the first thing about actually creating video games. For starters, the settings page is extremely bare, no separate options for tuning different audio like sfx, the drone's sounds, and ambient was another small gripe. The look sensitivity slider felt like it did nothing, I had to tweak my mouse dpi manually, which for a game that utilizes that "advanced" shooting mechanic, caused me frustration, and no, I'm not bumping the game's difficulty down. Then there's the whole "minimalist" style with "realistic" mechanics itself. It simply does not work, I don't get enough information about anything. I can't tell when my rifle's safety is on, nothing told me there were hunger and thirst mechanics because when I was getting LESS than "very comfortable", THEN I got the prompt to check my status. There was also the lack of feedback when at the shop. I couldn't tell if I bought that animal tag, so I inadvertently bought two, and lost all my money at the start. While these are all small nitpicks of the game, they added up to a very frustrating experience. So no, I'm afraid I'm not going to keep this game.

So far, my experience of this game is very positive, I enjoy the mechanics, they really put a bit more skill into the act of shooting a gun, and the selection of animals are fairly good. I'll have a more expanded review of this game on a later date once I get to experience the game at full.

very very very very early acces. Art stilization very low. Grass tree low poly. Hunting games shouldn't be low poly.

Crudo y poco convencional son algunas palabras que podría usar para describir este simulador de cacería low poly que por momentos trata de ser más, con algunos toques de ultra realismo, como poder desarmar y cambiar partes de las armas, tener un medidor de sed y hambre, despellejar animales o tener un sistema de disparo donde, en lugar del clásico clic izquierdo, lo tenemos que mantener apretado y hacer hacia abajo con el mouse, simulando el recorrido del gatillo (mucho de esto se puede dejar de lado poniendo en modo fácil/casual). El que mucho abarca poco aprieta, dice el dicho, y si bien se podría decir esto de este Open Hunting XL, eso no quita el hecho de que tiene cosas a destacar, siendo en general un juego bastante funcional y completo. Agarrarle la mano lleva tiempo; mis primeras 3 horas fueron cazando conejitos hasta que destrabé mejores armas, así como un nuevo mapa. Si no están seguros, tiene demo para probar y pesa nada en comparación con otros juegos del género.

Dev has never hunted rabbits before, it feels like unless you crouch walk the entire time they will spot you from a mile off and immediately run to the opposite side of the map. To get into hunting anything that is not rabbits you need to get multiple rabbits. If you think the bundle of the two games might be worth it, it isn't just get open fishing.
