some how call of the wild got worse with this one. i am a fan of call of the wild the hunter but this one i feel like it would have been better to make a DLC for hunter with the mechanics of casting then make this, it feels wrong on so many levels the graphics some how fall short and you cant keep trophies to start with, don't get me wrong i don't hate it and if i could do a neutral recommend i would, but after time
