While Cabela’s Alaskan Adventure was the first game I had that included fishing, I recall enjoying the fishing in this game more, for some unknown reason. Cabela’s Outdoor Adventures (2009) (PS3)Īnother game allowing the player the freedom to explore and strategize the way they please, this one also included fishing. Whether it was glacier bears, polar bears, or stone sheep in Alaska, or rhinos, cheetahs, and cape buffalo in Africa, the games offered more species in these locales than ever before.Ī herd of Springbok run past the player in Cabela’s African Safari. While plenty of previous games had visits to these locations, the species and places to visit were always limited due to the fact that there were numerous places to hunt.
While I have always enjoyed having a selection of places to hunt in these games, it was neat for developers to look further in depth at two of the harshest environments on earth. By focusing on the areas of Alaska and Africa specifically, these games gave the player an opportunity to learn more about the locales, environments, and wildlife of these locations. Whereas most hunting games have a varying assortment of locations for players to travel to in their hunting exploits, these each focused solely on one area. I lumped these two games together because they each came out the same year, and also because each differ from their predecessors in a unique way.

The game is full of memorable moments from crash landing in the bush and trying to fight off a pack of hyenas, to meeting Wirake, a native aboriginal, and helping to find his fellow tribesmen, to even coming face to face with a mythic creature.Ī player navigates the harsh terrain in Cabela’s Alaskan Adventures. The player ends up traveling from Alaska to Africa to India to Australia and finally Siberia, completing missions along the way. The game starts with the protagonist meeting a man who has information about an old friend of the player. Other hunting video games until this point, including my first listed game, always had some loose narrative structure holding it together, but this game added an active narrative element that was enjoyable to my youthful self.

While I loved the original Cabela’s Dangerous Hunts for reasons similar to the previous game mentioned (open-world, self-exploration-but with dangerous animal attacks) it was the follow-up sequel in the series that stands out to me for adding a comprehensive story into the mix. It was my first hunting game that was more than just “click-explore-shoot” and truly allowed for the player to explore a semi-open world on their own.
It took me forever to get all the way through, and while there was some guidance as to what to do, the player had the option as to what subregions they’d visit first, how they’d get there, and what weapon they would use. What I loved the most about this game was just how vast and spacious it seemed. It was also the first game I had played to feature Midwestern states (Michigan and Kentucky), which I felt connected to growing up in Ohio.įor all of my childhood, my video game playing time was limited to a set amount of time on the weekends. The player earned money throughout the game which could be used to buy more tags for game to hunt, equipment, or guns.

Here are just a few of what I would consider the best hunting video games on Sony consoles. These might not be the best critically-hailed hunting games ever, but they are ones which I have found to be my favorites over the years. While it is true that many of the Cabela’s titles have been fairly similar, there is a surprisingly decent amount of diversity in the genre as far as how the games play out. One might think every hunting game is the same, but they aren’t. Nonetheless, these are games that were still enjoyable to me, either for their graphics or their breadth or their accurate depictions (or for some, possibly due to my young age when they were released). Conversely, while many of the old games were not critically well-received, those most recently offered have been highly touted (for the genre). While the selection for current consoles has been fairly scarce, games available for previous generations are plentiful.

While there are plenty of titles to highlight-from the original Cabela’s Big Game Hunter for PC all the way through the popular theHunter: Call of the Wild-I decided to limit the selection to a handful of console games (specifically, PlayStation since that is what I’ve always had) that stood out over the years.
