All in all COTW is a stunning hunting simulator. The game is a sandbox so you can either play it completely your way or try out the missions and side quests which are light on story but interesting enough to get you engaged as they often get you to visit all corners of the map and introduce you to mechanics like lookout towers and feeding/sleeping zones amongst others. Tracking works well through a simple system of locating footprints which will change colour for the animal you following and fetus droppings that will inform you how long ago they have been there, giving you a indication of whether you should be moving more swiftly or starting the process of stalking. There is also a comprehensive skills and perk system that allows you to become more proficient with weaponry, tracking and hunting. Everything is fully upgradable from weapons, ammo, lures, clothing etc. You will be treated to stunning locations and a diverse eco system with weather cycles running through the day/night. From the lush forests and lakes of north west America to the African savannah which can be traversed on foot or vehicle. Starting with the maps which are many and vast with graphics that beautifully capture their surroundings.
