Way of the Hunter 2

English and Portuguese! ### Análise: Um passo na direção certa, mas com ressalvas técnicas **Contexto e Estilo de Jogo** Joguei bastante o primeiro título da franquia (incluindo todas as DLCs), acumulando cerca de 50 a 60 horas — o que para mim, dentro desse gênero, é um tempo considerável. Atualmente estou com 8 horas neste segundo jogo e posso afirmar que, definitivamente, ele está graficamente muito mais bonito. Um ponto importante sobre a minha experiência: eu não jogo com a mentalidade de um "caçador da vida real". Sei que muitos buscam um nível extremo de hiper-realismo, mas para o meu estilo, o jogo não precisa chegar a esse rigor para ser bem aproveitado. **Pontos Positivos & Qualidade de Vida** * **Manejo e Progressão:** O primeiro jogo já focava no manejo de animais, mas agora essa mecânica e sua importância ficam muito mais claras para o jogador iniciante. Focar no manejo correto em vez de atirar em qualquer coisa que se mexe é excelente. A adição de níveis é legal, mas a progressão parece arrastada (estou no nível 10 e só recebi 2 ou 3 pontos de habilidade para gastar até o momento). * **Interação Fluida:** Andar pelo mapa sem precisar apertar "E" repetidamente para investigar o ambiente é MUITO BOM. Apenas chegar perto e o jogo já identificar o rastro automaticamente melhora muito o ritmo da exploração. * **O Cachorro de Caça:** Disparada a melhor integração do jogo. Acertar o animal e mandar o cachorro seguir o rastro de sangue é prático e imersivo. **Pontos Negativos & Oportunidades de Melhoria** * **Desempenho:** Assim como o primeiro título, este sofre com a otimização. Meu hardware é robusto (Ryzen 7 5700X3D, RTX 3070, 32GB 3200MHz, rodando em SSD M.2) e o jogo deveria rodar a pelo menos 80/100 FPS com tudo no máximo em Full HD. O FPS chega a cair para menos de 30 em alguns momentos e depois volta para a casa dos 50/60. Não me faz parar de jogar, mas o desempenho definitivamente precisa melhorar. * **Expansão dos Comandos do Cachorro:** O cachorro não serve apenas para rastrear sangue, existindo a opção de localizar rastros em geral. No entanto, essa mecânica seria MUITO melhor e mais útil se o jogador pudesse definir o tipo de rastro para ele seguir (como focar apenas em animais grandes, médios ou pequenos). * **Veículos e Câmera:** A caminhonete do jogo é absurdamente lenta, parecendo mais devagar que uma charrete no RDR2. Além disso, a remoção da câmera em primeira pessoa ao dirigir, algo que existia no primeiro game, soa como preguiça no desenvolvimento. --- ### Review: A step in the right direction, but with some technical caveats **Context and Playstyle** I played the first game of the franchise quite a lot (including all DLCs), logging around 50 to 60 hours — which for me, in this genre, is a considerable amount of time. I currently have 8 hours in this second game and I can definitely say that it is graphically much more beautiful. An important point about my experience: I don't play this with a "real-life hunter" mindset. I know many people look for an extreme level of hyper-realism, but for my playstyle, the game doesn't need to reach that level to be highly enjoyable. **Pros & Quality of Life** * **Herd Management & Progression:** The first game already focused on animal management, but now this mechanic and its importance are much clearer to beginner players. Focusing on proper management instead of just shooting anything that moves is an excellent approach. The addition of levels is nice, but the progression feels a bit slow (I am at level 10 and have only received 2 or 3 skill points to spend so far). * **Fluid Interaction:** Walking around the map without needing to repeatedly press "E" to investigate the environment is VERY GOOD. Just getting close and having the game automatically identify the track improves the pace of exploration immensely. * **The Hunting Dog:** By far the best addition to the game. Hitting an animal and just sending the dog to follow the blood trail is practical and immersive. **Cons & Room for Improvement** * **Performance:** Just like the first title, this one suffers from optimization issues. My rig is solid (Ryzen 7 5700X3D, RTX 3070, 32GB 3200MHz, running on an M.2 SSD), and the game should easily run at least at a steady 80 FPS maxed out in 1080p. The framerate drops below 30 at times and then climbs back to around 50/60. It doesn't make me stop playing, but the performance definitely needs to be addressed. * **Expanding Dog Commands:** The dog isn't just for tracking blood; there is an option for it to locate general tracks. However, this mechanic would be MUCH better and far more useful if the player could specify the type of track for the dog to follow (like focusing exclusively on large, medium, or small animals). * **Vehicles & Camera:** The pickup truck in the game is absurdly slow, feeling slower than a horse carriage in RDR2. Furthermore, removing the first-person camera while driving—something that was already present in the first game—feels like developer laziness.

mycket trevligt spel

I've been enjoying it so I feel I can recommend it already despite being in EA. It has issues and lacks optimisation but the developers are making progress on these and filling out content.

Definitely a step forward for the series. Graphical improvements and animal models are better than expected. Would recommend to anyone wanting a new hunting game. Fingers crossed for tree stands. Then bowhunting heart will be complete. Excited to see what 1.0 looks like.

waiting for multiplayer

I would not recommend this game in it's current state. I do a very large amount of hunting IRL and the fact that you have to be within 30m of an elk with a 308. for it to do it's job properly should tell you a lot. I don't hate the game at all and I think it has a lot of potential BUT it needs a lot of work. One major complaint I have is with the current rack system, I shot three mule deer with the exact same rack with no variety whatsoever. I also dislike the elk racks entirely, elk are not red deer and if you take two minutes to look at a giant bull elk they look nothing like the ones in the game this can also apply to most species in this game. Also the grind to get more money is not fun and I'm not into the story mission stuff at all, I'm here to hunt not to be an errand boy. Their was also a few minor bugs but nothing of major note. On a more positive note the graphics are amazing, the animal behaviors are on point and the map feels big and open and has a lot of variety. I can also appreciate the large amount of species to hunt and how the rifle handles when being shot and reloaded. In sum I didn't hate my time playing but it just feels like so much of this game was ported from the first game and it feels very rushed with not much research or play testing being done behind the scenes. I hope this game will improve and that it will bring forward a new era in hunting games.
