Outside of that, you’re simply thrown into the game and expected to know the best way to progress, something I struggled with for the first few hours before having to delete a few game saves once I figured everything out for myself. The opening tutorial shows you the basics of how to track down your prey and what to do with it after you successfully manage to kill your target. If the new story DLC or even weapon packs were included in the Xbox Series X version it would be a little more forgivable, but sadly it’s not, so if you’re debating a repurchase it’ll simply come down to if you want a slightly better looking version with no real load times. If there were some major differences I could see the argument, but with their other Xbox Series X offerings, you simply get a better performing and prettier version without any other drastic improvements. Most publishers allow for a Smart Delivery upgrade if playing on Xbox Series X, but Nacon is still charging extra for those that want the better version if you happen to have an Xbox Series S or X. That means if you want these upgraded versions you’re going to have to pay for it, even if you previously bought Hunting Simulator 2 on Xbox One originally. The other thing of note is that like other Nacon games, these Xbox Series X versions are NOT playable on Xbox One. While I’ve not played the original release on Xbox One at its initial launch, I was quite impressed with the visuals on the Xbox Series X version, especially in the vast environments and vistas since you’re always on foot and don’t run all that fast, so you can take in the scenery as you’re trailing game. So you’ve previously played Hunting Simulator 2 already on Xbox One and wondering what is new? Well, like most upgraded versions on Xbox Series X you can expect a sweet 4K resolution along with smooth 60 frames per second and virtually no loading times. Now, there is a more narrative experience that is offered through DLC, but it’s not included in the base game in which this review entails. Basically it’s open season and you’re able to hunt whatever animals you wish, provided you purchase the corresponding license and correct weaponry. You’re simply thrown into a quick tutorial that teaches the basics and can be skipped if you like, but then you’re simply let loose into the world, choosing where and what you want to hunt without any other direction or tutelage. Normally this is where I would jump right into describing the campaign or story mode, as usually this is where you spend the majority of your time in single player games, but there is none included in the base game at all. So grab over 160 licensed and official weapons, clothing and accessories and learn how to hunt 33 different species of animals across Texas, Colorado and Europe. Regardless about your feelings towards hunting, there’s a game for nearly every niche out there, and it’s no different here with Hunting Simulator 2 from Nacon. After having played Hunting Simulator 2 for Xbox Series X I may not be a master huntsman, but I surely did learn a lot about the sport/hobby. Truth be told, I’ve only ever fired a handgun once in my life, so I know basically nothing when it comes to actual hunting wild game in the woods. Being a city born friendly Canadian, I’m not much of a hunter at all.
