You wake up, or in this case, just appear in a cabin with a voice-over telling you what to do. It portrays the sheer boredom of the ‘sport’ within the first five minutes. Once you have the basics out of the way you’ll soon realise halfway through the tutorial that Hunting Simulator 2 does one thing very accurately. They couldn’t just have had a kennel, could they? These sidekicks are arguably the best part of the game, it’s just a little disturbing that you have to walk over to a skinned animal rug in your super swanky lodge to choose which dog you want to take on each hunt. There are different breeds, ranging from said beagle to a Labrador or a German Shepard. The best part is that your beloved companion can be upgraded if you praise the dog during hunts. Hunting Simulator 2 starts off with a tutorial that teaches you the basics and introduces you to your new best friend – A hunting beagle companion who will help you sniff out different wildlife and track them for you. There is tracking your pray, licenses, money, trophies, and more variety of guns than you know what to do with. Shocker! It’s not just about point and shooting your gun however, it’s far more involved than that. Is this the game that could change my mind?Īs you might have guessed from the name, Hunting Simulator 2 is a first-person game that’s all about hunting. Despite ‘Divisiongate’ (In which I was accused of shooting a harmless Dog while playing The Division) I don’t like the killing of animals at all, even in video games – but here we have Hunting Simulator 2 to test my resolve. Hunting Simulator 2 replicates the 'fun' of hunting, right down to the boredom between firing your weapon.
