EDIT so turns out the devs decided to not be complete scum and let you hunt all animals without a subscription fee however with the starting guns you'll find it takes a long long time to unlock anything. there are quest you can do the speed this up but then you'll need guns that you will not have to progress basically all quest lines. i would only recommend playing if you don't mind spending some money to buy a bundle of guns. behind the horrible monetization it is a fun hunting game with great mechanics and ok graphics. all tho i do like this game i cant recommend it in my review. also i would like to point out that only 14.5% of players have the achievement for playing the game for 1 hour and only 3.2% of players have played for 24 hours.

The gameplay is too slow and niche, and the fun quickly turns into boredom and routine.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer hunts with buddies tense and fun, trophy rooms motivate.
