I really enjoyed the game, I think as a hunting game it passed some of the checks, and this probably what Open Country should have been to start with, an actually finished product.
I really wasn't drawn back into the game though, so I think until some other things are added like maybe fishing, and maybe a survival aspect I will probably leave this game on the shelf.
Didn't experience any issues as far as in game, no bugs I found. I think the most annoying thing was how the animals could get so spooked easily, I know that sounds a little silly to say about a hunting game but hear me out. I'm sure there is a trigger zone for what makes them move, but I feel if I was driving in my loud as heck Jeep it shouldn't allow me to get basically within 100m and then they spook when I got out the car , not from the vehicle. Basically once you get in that trigger zone its over which I'm not sure how I feel about. Think they should be alerted well before that because I got so close to them while driving, then it was once I got out of my car they were like HUMAN! RUN!

I'd really like to see a survival aspect added to this game, I think a lot of people would agree, as you wanna make the long hunts feel long. Not just I stalked it, and BAM now I head home. Plus it gives you that off the grid feeling, and being able to leave the car behind. I think that's something to take note from Open Country. Long hunts were possible because you could pitch tents, make food, actually get hurt. Right now you get hurt but there isn't really anything that says it effects you minus it being like COD, you were low health, couple seconds pass, a big breath later and you're ready to roll again.

Shooting in the game feels good, I don't love how the zeroing works, because it's oddly specific to 106.8 yards, I've never zeroed rifles like that. Always to 50-100 yards. The round you shoot at the target matters same goes for shot location. It gives you a nice in-depth view of your kill shot. I believe it scores it in some manner, don't think it's needed. This isn't ready or not.

I tihink overall it's a good game, it's def not like COTW, I don't think this game should compete with it. I think it's worth a pick up when on sale. The Season Pass and Hunters pack, I don't think are worth it as of right now. AGAIN game on sale, I'd pick it up. I'd like to see a little more of a timeline as well to see what we get next and how it impacts the game.

Side note: Hunting games have to be the hardest games to support solely because of how little they come out, and when they do at least recently you get a huge bust like Open Country.
Right now I think they have an idea of what they want to do, but as of patch 1.16 a lot of it has been fixing bugs and hot fixes that have caused more issues. No issues on my end while playing, so I keep a hopeful mind that if they add certain things, we're going to see what everyone thought Open Country could have been, just in a much better way.
