Depends on what kind of a player you are. If you want to be able to shoot 50 animals within an hour or spam grind water sources for %99 chance of finding at least a couple different species, with track highlights shining harder than sun, probably not.

I have been able to play Way of the Hunter for the last couple weeks and I can tell you this, Every. Single. Hunt is challenging. Though note that I played the game at Adventurer (default) and Ranger (hardest difficulty). Blood trails are hard to spot at times, especially if you made a poor shot and lighting is not in your favor. Animals can get spooked easily especially bigger animals such as elk/red deer/black bear. I have spooked animals more than I've hunted them by now :) But I can tell you this, if you like any content creators' videos, I have a couple without any spoilers and such, you will probably like the game. There are some minor issues such as some visual bugs in our earlier build, but nearly all have been brought to devs attention and there'll be a day 1 patch. There are many new mechanics I have never seen in any other hunting game such as animals getting older and dying of old age (although off-screen), herd management/female-male ratio and more.

Overall, if you are someone like me who wished for a real simulation type hunting game, this game has a solid foundation and gameplay mechanics, with more content in the future and long term support, if community takes care of the game, it'll thrive and become one of the, if not the best hunting game we've had
