You play as a hunter exploring large wildlife reserves, where you can roam through different regions and biomes, discover locations, and observe the animals that live there.
To hunt, follow tracks and calls, account for wind, noise, scent, weather, and animal routines, then approach carefully and choose a suitable weapon and ammunition. Shot placement affects the harvest, and wounded animals may need to be tracked.
Missions and successful harvests contribute to progression, unlocking skills and equipment. You can preserve prized animals as trophies in a lodge, explore at your own pace, or hunt with up to seven other players online.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its varied natural landscapes and immersive wildlife atmosphere, and appreciate being able to play at an unhurried pace. Reviews also describe the careful process of tracking, approaching, and landing a well-placed shot as rewarding, with some enjoying the long-term pursuit of rare trophies or hunting with friends. Others find the slow pace and progression frustrating rather than relaxing.
