It knows what it wants to be and does it the best it can, which is another backhanded compliment. Think of Call of the Wild like a good cut of meat, there is no extra fat around the edges and it is cooked well. While this is that better option, I still don’t see that appeal. As I slightly hinted towards earlier this week when reviewing Open Country, there are better hunting simulators out there than what I was reviewing at the time. Of course, Call of the Wild is a bit rough, but all these aspirational simulators are and if that isn’t a backhanded compliment, I don’t know what is.
Moving on to something I didn’t play this week but I know well, theHunter: Call of the Wild. After picking up 80 books this week, I might have a bit less space, sure, but I have more than enough room to own these games digitally. It has one mini-benefit and that’s how you don’t need the console or the game taking up space. Why would you advance beyond the tripe that was basically a rigged carney game with pixels, then actively try to regress away from that? I don’t see the benefits of this streaming service kick that everyone seems to be on. Metal Slug, Monkey Island 2 (not an arcade game), Pac-Man, Worms, Samurai Shodown, and so on, are not hard games to own and I do, so why would I use this system? That’s what I don’t understand about it. It is a free-to-play kind of thing where you pay for gems and get to play arcade games, and the reason I don’t care so much about that is simply the fact I own some of these games.
Antstream Arcade and the Epic Welcome Pack gives you 1,090 gems. Onto the Epic Games Store and what is available throughout this week: A free thing that doesn’t seem to matter much, and a hunting game. Soon you’ll be able to listen to Cyndi Lauper on the Switch, Steam is doing a sale (as is Epic), and that Dragon Ball survival-thing finally got a gameplay trailer. Wednesday, you can get real medieval on some grass, Tekken 7 is still selling well, and Rocket Racoon got a side gig. Tuesday, another survival game is in early access, Hitman 3 preps for a second year, an interesting indie game got a release date, and soon you’ll be trucking in Montana. Monday, Rockstar said sorry and Blizzard has a sale.
