Saves you a refund- Players seeking a tightly focused shooter may find the many side activities and systems distracting

- Players looking specifically for multiplayer shooting should consider that the described structure centers on a ranger campaign rather than multiplayer features
Our take on Poached : Hunt The Hunter
The game trades a focused shooting campaign for a wide set of optional systems and diversions. Driving, crafting, hunting, cooking, racing, golf, radio listening, and exploration compete with the central task of fighting poachers, creating a deliberately varied but less concentrated experience.
