"Hunting game" on PC covers at least four different hobbies, and this page keeps them in separate sections. One player wants to sit still for twenty minutes reading the wind before taking a single shot. Another wants to swing a hammer the size of a car at something with wings. Someone else wants to be the prey. Sixteen games below, all with a PC page and live offers on Gocdkeys, sorted so that nobody ends up buying the wrong kind of hunt.
Each entry carries the Steam verdict with the raw counts behind it, how many offers the page is comparing, and the live price of the cheapest licence with its format named next to it. Prices move daily, so treat all of this as today's reading.
Proper hunting simulation: tracks, wind and ballistics
The strict end of the genre. Long walks, footprints, wind direction, and shots you can miss.
theHunter: Call of the Wild is the backbone of the whole thing: enormous reserves, blood trails you follow on foot, animals that hear you long before you see them. Steam has it at Very Positive on 151,126 positives out of 169,805 reviews, a sample big enough to settle the argument. One thing to know before you spend: Expansive Worlds sells the base game cheap and charges for the ground you hunt on, so every reserve is paid DLC. Budget accordingly. The page compares 32 offers across 15 stores, Steam Key from € (with coupon SEAL17CKD) — buy theHunter: Call of the Wild key.

Way of the Hunter is the one for people who care about ballistics. Nine Rocks Games models the bullet in flight and what it does when it arrives, so a bad angle stays a bad angle and the game tells you as much. Very Positive, 6,884 of 8,499 reviews. Its page runs past forty offers spread over twenty-odd stores, Steam Key from € (with coupon Gocdkeys), plus an Elite Ed. from €7.06.
Virtual Hunter is the small Finnish one, from Korpi Games. Look at the sample before you trust the label: Mostly Positive here rests on 124 positives out of 172 reviews in total. That is a first impression, not a verdict, and it is worth a moment's caution. Eight offers across six stores, every one a Steam Key, from € (with coupon OCTGOC10).
Hunting monsters: Capcom, Koei Tecmo and Bandai Namco
Monster Hunter Wilds is the headline act and also the messiest page here. The lowest number on it, €11.29, is a Steam Account, which parks the game on somebody else's profile instead of yours; the first actual Steam Key starts at € (with coupon GCKG2AT6V1P). Capcom has 103,879 positives out of 199,767 reviews, a Mixed verdict driven far more by PC performance complaints than by the hunting. With 129 offers from 22 stores, that page churns.
Two of the Capcom entries here are expansions and will not run on their own. Monster Hunter World: Iceborne wants Monster Hunter: World installed first; Mixed, 10,184 of 17,866, and 70 offers across 19 stores, Steam Key from €. Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak wants Rise; Mixed, 3,072 of 4,800, 96 offers from 21 stores, Steam Key at € (with coupon GCDK14DEAL) and a Deluxe Ed. from €4.49. That is twelve cents between the two, so it is worth opening both before you commit.
WILD HEARTS from Koei Tecmo is a page where quoting a single price would mislead you. The cheapest thing on it is a Steam Gift at €5.49 from Itemku. Then a gap of about twelve euros with nothing in it, until the first EA App Key at €17.98 and the cheapest Steam Key at €. Three formats, three different ways of ending up in your library: the label matters more than the sort order here. Steam is Mixed, 5,098 of 10,621, and the page carries 23 offers from 10 stores.
Bandai Namco's pair have aged better than you would expect. GOD EATER 3 holds Very Positive with 6,177 of 7,721 reviews, 31 offers across 14 stores, Steam Key from € (with coupon GCDK13). GOD EATER 2 Rage Burst is Very Positive as well, 2,805 of 3,506, with 21 offers from 15 stores, Steam Key from € (with coupon GCDK13).
When the prey is another player, or is you
Hunt: Showdown 1896 is Crytek's extraction shooter in the Louisiana swamps, and sound here is a mechanic rather than decoration: horses, crows and chains give your position away long before anyone lays eyes on you. Mostly Positive, 157,018 of 212,186 reviews. The page holds 36 offers from 15 stores, Steam Key from € (with coupon SEAL17CKD), a Deluxe Ed. from €18.57 and a Starter Edition from €13.17 — which costs more than the plain Steam Key does, so the edition name deserves a second look. Buy Hunt: Showdown key.
The Isle sits at Very Positive with 88,053 of 110,066 reviews, and Afterthought LLC has built a following on it. Its offer page is a different matter: twelve offers from six stores, eleven of them Steam Gift starting at €17.78. The single key on the page is the one Valve sells itself, at €.
Death in the Water 2 turns the job around. You dive, sharks hunt you, and Lighthouse Games Studio has the decency to keep it short. Very Positive, 1,432 of 1,725, ten offers across six stores, all Steam Key, from € (with coupon OCTGOC10).
The Axis Unseen has you tracking creatures out of folklore with a metal soundtrack grinding away underneath. Mostly Positive, on another short sample: 233 positives out of 306. The cheapest thing on the page, €0.70, is a Steam Account; the Steam Key is € (with coupon OCTGOC10), out of 24 offers and 12 stores.
Witch Hunt drops you into a seventeenth-century forest with a musket and a lantern, and studio Gua has 2,010 positives out of 2,284 reviews to show for it. The page is tiny: four offers from three stores. The cheapest is a Steam Gift at €9.70, five cents under the Steam Key Valve sells at €.
Open worlds where hunting is half the game
Far Cry Primal is the one where hunting drives everything else: Ubisoft built the whole loop around it, and you eat what you kill. Very Positive, 33,220 of 38,628 reviews. There are 25 offers across 14 stores, Steam Key from € (with coupon GCDKGamivo), a Windows Store Key at €4.61 and a Uplay Key from €4.79.
Far Cry 5 demotes hunting to an economy that funds the rest. Ubisoft Montreal, Very Positive with 139,736 of 172,514 reviews, 28 offers from 13 stores. Every cheap route here runs through Uplay Key instead of Steam, from € (with coupon GCDKGamivo), with a Gold Ed. at €11.19.
Ten of them cost under five euros
Ten of the sixteen come in under the price of a coffee and a sandwich. These are live figures and they will not match a screenshot taken tomorrow.

Read this before you pay: expansions and accounts
Two more traps. theHunter: Call of the Wild is cheap on purpose and the reserves are sold separately, so work out which maps you want and budget for those, not for the base game. And on WILD HEARTS the Steam Gift at €5.49, the EA App Key at €17.98 and the Steam Key are three different purchases, whatever the sorted list suggests at a glance.
Our own price history goes back fourteen years, and if it teaches anything it is that the number you saw last week is rarely the number you pay.
Which one to start with, depending on what you want
If you want the real thing, tracking and all, start with theHunter: Call of the Wild at € (with coupon SEAL17CKD) and add a reserve later; of the sixteen it is the safest first purchase, and you can follow its history on the theHunter: Call of the Wild price page. If shot placement is the part you enjoy, Way of the Hunter is the better simulator of those two.
For monsters, GOD EATER 3 at € (with coupon GCDK13) asks the least of the standalone games in that section, of your wallet and of your graphics card alike. Monster Hunter Wilds is the one everybody wants; just compare the licence price instead of the headline number, and read the performance complaints first. If World or Rise are already in your library, the expansions are the cheapest hours on this page.
For hunting people, Hunt: Showdown, and take the plain Steam Key: the Starter Edition asks more and hands you less. And if you want the strangest evening on the list, The Axis Unseen at € (with coupon OCTGOC10) earns its keep on the soundtrack alone.
