![]() The audio work was also solid and while I’m no gun expert I thought the sounds of each one sounded really satisfying. Load times have also been improved a lot letting you move between your lodge and a hunting area in seconds. It isn’t up there with the best-looking games I’ve seen but much of it looks really good with a special mention going out to the lighting and the animations on things like the weapons and animals. Resolution from the previous version has been bumped up to 4K and the game runs at a smoother 60 frames per second now. The upgrades in Hunting Simulator 2 on PlayStation 5 are noticeable but not a game changer. It honestly just feels like the publisher is being a little greedy here with how they handled this. Not only that but there is a new story mode DLC that just released that you have to pay more for as well. With there not being a free upgrade for previous owners you’d think that they could at least throw the DLC in to try and make it worth double dipping for but that isn’t the case. Now something that I didn’t like is that there is previous DLC for this game that isn’t included in the PlayStation 5 version. Animal trophies can also be displayed back in your lodge which starts out empty but won’t stay that way. As you play your earn money that you can use to buy new weapons, clothing, and other items from the 150+ items available. When you do find your deer, bear, or other type of animal you need to take it down correctly, such as doing so with shots in certain places, in order to get credit for it. Movement is generally pretty slow at most times as if you go too fast, you’ll scare off whatever it is that you might be hunting. I said earlier that the game can be quite relaxing because you’ll be moving about a lot and listening to the sounds of the wilderness such as chirping birds and rushing water. Oh, and yes you can absolutely pet the dog in Hunting Simulator 2.Īll six of the areas that you can hunt in are quite large and the environmental variety between them is quite nice with dense forests, rocky ridges, and more. They can find tracks for you as well as other signs of the animal you may be hunting. Bringing along your canine companion is also a must in my opinion both so you don’t feel lonely out in the wild and also because the dog is very useful. You need a license because if you try and shoot an animal while out and about that you don’t have a license for then you’ll get big red notification on the middle of the screen that you can’t hunt it. Before you start off your hunt, you’ll need to prepare everything that you’ll need including your guns and ammo and licenses for whatever animals you’re going to be hunting. A tutorial at the start will teach you some of the basics before you set off to explore and hunt dozens of animals across several locations in Europe, Texas, and Colorado. I would best describe Hunting Simulator 2 as a relaxing first-person shooter. If there was a free upgrade or maybe a small fee to upgrade it might be worth checking out for previous owners but as it stands you can safely pass on it. I’ll go into what’s different about it below but there definitely isn’t enough here to warrant a double dip. Hunting Simulator 2 is the same case where if you bought this game on previous generation consoles last year then I can’t really recommend you pay full price again for this upgraded version. In my review of Monster Truck Championship, I mentioned that those who had already played the game would have little reason to pay for the PlayStation 5 version because the improvements wouldn’t be worth paying full price again. One of the most important things to note right off is that unlike most other publishers Nacon has been skipping out on offering free upgrades for their games. Originally released in July of last year, an upgraded version is now available for the hunting sim but is it worth anyone’s time? Publisher Nacon has been one of those as they’ve already released upgraded versions of WRC 9 and Monster Truck Championship and now they have another in Hunting Simulator 2. In the meantime, publishers have taken the opportunity to release updated versions of their last generation titles to entice previous players to come back or to try and convince those who never made the jump in the first place. With the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles only being a few months old finding brand-new games to play on them has been pretty tough.
