Cinematic shots from theHunter: Call of the Wild

Hello and Welcome back to my blog!

The latest weekly contest's theme, Cinematic Shots by the Gaming Photography community allows me to showcase the beautiful landscapes of theHunter: Call of the Wild.

There are so many stunning shots that an amateur photographer like me would love to capture. The following shots are compiled from multiple reserves during different parts of the day.

All of the reserves have some interesting things which add to the lore of the region, sometimes they are natural formations like weird standing rocks and at other times they could be part of an ancient man-made site.

There are many interesting structures which help hunters assist in nature. Some of them are the hunting structures, the outpost or rest house and watch towers.

Those structures blend with the surroundings well and are unique to those environments. Most of them are high stands, giving a 360-degree concealed view of the place. These are also strategically located in places where animal activity is high.

The open world reserves are vast and stretch for tens of kilometres so walking from one end of the map to the other can take a lot of time. But fortunately, we can buy a DLC vehicle, the ATV which will shorten the journey time but it makes a lot of noise so forget about catching anything when you are riding it.

Lakes are often the hotspots of animal activity and are also my favourite places to capture with the in-game camera.

And how can I forget my beloved companion, Sheru? He stays with me no matter how cold or hot the weather is, whether we are fighting off a raging Buffalo in the plains of Savannah or a deadly crocodile. He helps me in so many ways and is always full of energy.

I should include at least one of the dead animals, after all, it is a hunting game...lol

Look at the horns of this bad boy!

The game has a long day-night cycle and watching the sunsets from high up in the mountains is always mesmerising.

I could go on and on and it will never stop. But I think this is enough to show how beautiful and realistic-looking landscapes are there in the game. Many people often confuse my photographs with real-life landscape pictures so that tells you a lot about the game. For a nature, game and photography lover in me, it is the best game that I played.
