The verdict
A deeply researched, emotional wolf-life sim about hunting, mating and raising pups in Yellowstone. Skip it if you want varied gameplay or have a weak PC, as the loop is repetitive and performance is shaky.
Great for
Wolf and nature lovers, nostalgic WolfQuest veterans, and friends who want a realistic co-op animal sim
Main risk
The realistic loop gets tedious and stressful, and performance, bugs or price can spoil it.
What players love
Realistic, research-based wolf simulation
