Honestly, so much potential but so silly in practice. I'm a hunter and seeing a 30. 06 (once considered a Rhino worthy gun) or even a 375 H&H Mg. (a literal elephant gun) failing to penetrate a moose's ribs at 150 -

I will not recommend this game or their new Early Access release of WOTH2. I have ran into a fatal error that has not allowed me to continue to play on the translvanyia map. I reported this bug, and never got a response

I would highly recommend this game! It has so many maps to explore, each being pretty large. There are so many different animals to hunt! The maps are very beautiful and fun to explore!
