Difficulties

The Way of the Hunter offers a diverse range of difficulty levels, ensuring that you can tailor your hunting experience to your preferences.

If you're in the mood for a more relaxed hunting adventure, the Hiker difficulty is the perfect choice for you. On the other hand, if you thrive on challenges and seek to test your skills at every turn, the Ranger difficulty might be your preferred setting.

In essence, these difficulty levels not only affect the capabilities of the animals but also enhance the visual and optical cues and highlights used to detect and track them.

On the Hiker difficulty, the animals possess minimal sensory awareness, allowing you to approach them with relative ease. However, as you progress to the Ranger difficulty, their heightened senses become a formidable challenge. A mere misstep or an unfavorable wind direction can cause animals you've diligently tracked for half an hour to swiftly evade you. The game's dynamic difficulty settings truly transform the hunting experience, offering something for everyone, from the laid-back observer to the intrepid hunter.
