[h1] THIS GAME HAS BEEN ABANDONED! DO NOT PURCHASE! [/h1] This game feels like something that would've been released on a console back in the mid-00s. Everything is terrible and since this game has been abandoned, it's always going to be terrible. Believe the negative reviews! This game shouldn't be sold as is and should have a bright flashing banner saying "ABANDONED!!!" across the page at all times. [h2] DO NOT PURCHASE! ABANDONED GAME! [/h2]

Negative reviews scared me away from this game for a lot of years but I thought it was worth taking a chance on it for $5 on sale - I'm glad I did. Sure, it has some janky, rough edges to it like one might expect from an indie title, but the concept is great! The fun really started after one of the early missions after hunting rabbits. I was tasked with finding the ranger's pack at an old water tower and finding a diseased elk. While that doesn't sound fun in itself, what made that mission so great was the fact that it's the first mission where you actually travel a far distance and have to put survival skills to use, making shelters, building a fire, and foraging for food along the way because it's quite a trek! When you reach the point where you have to live off the land and camp in the wilds, this game becomes a very decent survival game! Things I wish were different: - 1920x1080 is not what I prefer in a 4K world, but it looks okay when you force high DPI on the game executable settings (see tips below). - I had to Google some fairly basic questions to find things like how to repair weapons (in the RV with a repair kit), how to obtain leaves, logs and sticks when none can be f…

Not as good as I hoped for .. but there might be some updates to make the game better.

30 min in game and all is fine...And like Elmer,I am now hunting Wabbit ...For me the game run just fine.

The scenery is amazing and the hunting aspect is awesome.
