Our take on Open Country
The outdoor-survival focus gives up broader role-playing variety: progression centers on weapons, equipment, and tougher missions rather than a wide range of character systems. Its wilderness setting also makes environmental hazards and animal encounters part of the core routine.
What is Open Country?
Open Country is an outdoor survival adventure set away from city life.
Players hunt animals, explore wilderness areas, and cope with harsh weather and other environmental conditions. A rifle, backpack, campsite, and fire support expeditions away from home base, while shelter locations can also serve as lookout points. Tasks from the Ranger, Gary at Snowridge Lodge, and other locals provide objectives, including bringing in game for the lodge. Progression includes improved weapons and equipment alongside more demanding missions. Wildlife such as wolves and bears creates danger in the wilderness, and the game includes the possibility of gaining a four-legged companion.
