First of all, you have to answer one question. Do you like to face a title that may leave you in a corner of the battle for hours to wait for your prey or not? This game will make you walk in the forest, hide in the darkness for days, hoping to reach your goal. However, even the slightest noise will ruin all your efforts.

Way of The Hunter game review

The first thing I want to mention is that Way of The Hunter may be a video game that puts you in nature, but it proves otherwise. Way of The Hunter makes it clear from the start that the creators aim for more than just a fun video game experience. In simpler words, this game can be recommended to those who want to experience a real and exciting hunt.

The story of the game begins when your grandfather is unable to manage his business due to old age and illness. In the role of the main character of the game, you decide to take over the management of the grandfather’s farm (hunting) and keep his business alive. This farm is located in the heart of nature and is surrounded by vast lands and wildlife. Now, you have to learn the basic principles of hunting step by step, then go to the heart of the mountains and forests and hunt the animals you want.

The game does not teach you the basic principles of hunting as well as it should, which is a negative point. During the gameplay, the game will point out some things, but in the end, it is you who have to learn how to hunt. This may seem confusing, especially for those who are entering such game for the first time

Game World

The game has a huge world that you can explore freely. The interesting thing is that you don’t have to walk the whole way. Whenever you want, you can ride a personal jeep and hit the heart of the mountains. You can stop at any point along the way. For example, I was driving my jeep when I suddenly saw several deer within a hundred meters of me. I quickly stopped and prepared myself for an exciting deer hunt. But sometimes not all hunting is so easy.

In many game missions, you have to track animals or hunt them in a certain way. Sometimes you even have to wait for hours in the heart of nature for the hunt you want to appear. You may encounter your prey many times, but one small mistake can cause your prey to disappear from your eyes in a fraction of a second. Based on this, it can be said that hunting in the game is a bit difficult and long and requires a lot of patience. In other words, your only shot from the weapon should be your first and last shot to kill the target. But finally, after finishing the hunt, you will be happy.

Hunter Sense

Another game mechanic is the Hunter Sense mechanic. The operation of this mechanism is such that by activating it, you can analyze the sounds of animals. Analyzing the sounds will help you to find out where your target hunt is located. Hunter Sense can also recognize animal tracks. You can track the animals and find their grazing or resting place. In general, Hunter Sense is a wonderful mechanic and innovation in this game, and it helps you identify, track and hunt animals; Especially if you upgrade it.

There are many things to be aware of when hunting. From the type of gun, and the type of caliber to your distance from the hunt and natural factors. This subject requires a little patience and relatively high skill. After you hunt the animal you want, you can sell its remains or taxidermy it. But the more interesting thing is that after hunting, you can see which part of the animal’s body your bullet hit.

For example, while hunting an otter, I shot him twice to kill him. Thanks to the x-ray capability, I realized that my first bullet only hit him in the leg and caused him to run away. But the second bullet hit him right in the heart and killed him. So you have to focus your senses to have a successful hunt. The difficulty of the game is the thing that gives more depth to the gameplay and makes the experience closer to reality.

Unique game sound

Of course, the unexpected sound of the Way of The Hunter game should not be ignored either. We are facing a world where instead of the sound of machines and industrial constructions, only the sound of animals, rustling leaves, flowing water in the river, and generally the sound of nature can be heard. Such pristine nature is the dream that this game brings to you. These items give life to the game world and in fact, the creators did their best to let you step into real and fully dynamic wildlife.

Beautiful nature becomes more enjoyable regardless of how skilled the hunter is. The game world of Way of The Hunter is designed with relatively good details. Thanks to the wonderful lighting of the game, we are facing a quality title on PlayStation 5 that can satisfy the audience. The creators have created wildlife and all game animals with special obsessions and fine details.

Final word

Way of The Hunter is the best title for those who want to be a little away from the real world and experience a real and enjoyable hunt. Some technical problems and game bugs sometimes make the game experience annoying. However, the beautiful nature, diverse wildlife, entertaining gameplay, and good visual quality of the game make you ignore the few problems of the game. It is possible to experience it as a co-op with friends who are into this style. Those who are new to hunting-style games may not enjoy this game due to its slow speed and high level of difficulty.

Codemasters, being the award winning publisher of such iconic high-quality racing titles as DIRT, GRID, and the official F1 racing simulation game, may be getting ready to add more silverware to their trophy cabinet with this one. The visuals of the official trailer are absolutely stunning! Mobile racing clasàsics like Asphalt may soon be on nobody’s lips. 

“I’ve always wanted to create a high-quality, realistic racing game.” said Bo Zhang, the Producer of Racing Master at NetEase Games, “I am beyond grateful and truly honored to have this opportunity to fulfil my aspiration. With Racing Master, we set out to provide a platform for players to spark their passion for racing and experience the thrill of realistic driving!”

Announced on the 12th of March, Racing Master is an upcoming real-time racing simulator. The title will be available on mobile. Though no official date-of-publication was announced, the game’s beta version was made available on mobile platforms, Android, & iOS. 

The mobile racing simulator was developed using Unreal Engine 4, so expect PC quality, detailed, graphics. Codemaster’s own EGO technology was also put to use in the development of the game. What resulted looks to be a crisp piece of work that really honors the automotive spirit.

The premise of the game being mastery through competition, players are given access to the best vehicles that the automotive industry has on offer. All fully customizable, with actual brand parts. These guys really did their licensing homework. 

The hyper-realistic high-end vehicle makes on offer feature iconic brands like, Ferrari, Porsche (not RUF, but Stuttgart, Porsche,) Lamborghini, Aston Martin, and many others. One can build their dream car collection, customized specifically to their tastes.

They can then test their automotive masterpieces against those of a globally dispersed set of competitors, in online races. Players will find themselves whizzing through the streets of the world’s most famous cities, competing for the title of Racing Master, or to land their names on the leaderboards at the very least. 

“As leaders in the racing category, we are excited to finally tell the world about Racing Master, the result of our strategic partnership with NetEase Games,” commented Clive Moody, SVP Product Development at Codemasters. “NetEase Games shares the same passion and vision that’s needed to deliver a best-in-class racing experience. Taking the world’s most aspirational supercars, Racing Master is rooted in automotive culture and provides authentic wheel-to-wheel action for the mobile platform.”

This game was designed with petrol heads in mind, and features everything a racing enthusiast would ask of a simulator. Racing Master really offers a challenge that should keep it from growing tedious too soon, real-time racing against real competitors, from across the globe. 

The Asian videogame house, responsible for a number of iconic PC, & Mobile gaming titles, invites players to visit and sign-up for the Beta testing program. The company seems intent on bringing out the best game possible, and would like people to help with development by getting in on the action, pre-release.

• AI
• Networking
• Optimization
• Much more

A framework provides us with the tools and structure  that every game requires for it to function. Using engines mean you don’t have to reinvent the wheel every time you start the project. While modern games are able to handle the overhead of many complex systems – in reality, most old school games were not able to take that trade off since memory in the past was so limited and precious.

3rd party engines only became the wide spread once 3d games were in demand,  and as technology grew increasingly complicated. Many studious began to use these engines to speed up the development process , although many still make their own in-house engines from scratch, even today.

Once again, there is a trade off here. Making your own engine allows you to optimize specifically for your game but buying one will save you possibly a thousands of hours of coding time.

So let’s actually see how these engines work and how they influence games.

GameMaker

It is so simple, that even a kid could build a game with just a little assistance. You don’t have to write code,  although you will naturally understand a programmers mindset as you learn game logic. For example, to make a simple platform in a GameMaker, you need to understand that when the players presses space bar, the block should jump but you don’t need to understand why things jump in a parabola or how the block is being animated. There are some clear limitations, since you have to play by Gamemaker rigid rules, but there are some projects which show that creativity and talent can always shine through the tech.

Unreal Engine

A incredibly robust, professional level tool that recently became completely free to use. Unreal Engine shows a lot of promise. You’ll notice that it looks a quite a bit complicated then the Gamemaker, and you can see why developers need more advanced software like this to keep track of complex 3D environments. Lots of modern engines will support the cool lighting effects and realistic  explosions and other boring things like memory management. But there are two things I really like about UE 4 specifically.

• The Blueprint system

Make simple „visual code“

Learning to make games using blueprint system will make a professional engine seem almost like GameMaker. You can get some pretty cool games running quickly without ever writing code.

The other thing I like about UE 4 is that if you really want to optimize down to the last byte and have the complete control over the code, you can do that by acquiring a complete source code from Epic Games by simply subscribing to them.

Unity

Last one but not least. Unity supports higher level languages like C# and JavaScript and has as many tools that allows developers to bypass coding altogether. Unity also accumulated a bustling community  with tons of free tutorials, assets and content making it many young creators first engine.

Lost Cost + Lots of tutorials + Lots of people = Lots of Projects

Similarly, all of these low barriers to entry result in a huge number of gaming projects in the world at large of which only a certain percentage will be legitimately good. This is probabilities fault not Unity’s.

Final say

In any case, all of these are wonderful tools that help you make games. Everything I mentioned here has an excellent free version that you can download right now. So, if you’ve always wanted to try making games you can pull up a tutorial and start making one in only a few hours.
