Hunting Simulator 2-CPY

Depending on your approach, you could spend 30 minutes, even an hour, without taking a shot in Hunting Simulator 2, but it doesn’t really matter. It’s as much about taking in the atmosphere as it is the action. You can just run around like a madman (or woman) hoping you’ll bump into an animal if you like, but the best hunters look for clues and track their prey, following trails until they can sneak up and catch their target unaware. Then it’s all down to taking that important first (and hopefully only) shot. Once an animal is down you can claim it, then either sell it for cash or turn it into a trophy.

You don’t have to hunt alone, either. You can choose to have a dog accompany you if you like. Using a radial menu, you can send it out to find clues and track animals, and over time their skills grow to make them even more effective. It’s imperative that you work with your dog, though, praising it when it does good in order to form a bond and increase its desire to impress. Only a beagle was accessible to me in the demo, but more dog breeds will be in the final release. I think you’ll like the beagle though, as it’s unbelievably cute. If you don’t want to engage in any animal slaughter, Hunting Simulator 2 doubles up nicely as a dog walking simulator.
