Monster Hunter Wilds promises a lavish feast of epic hunts and wild open-world freedom—but is it all just a pretty illusion? After 70 hours in, I’m here to tell you the truth: this game isn’t serving the full cake it claims to be.

From brilliant combat to a lackluster story and hollow exploration, my review breaks down exactly where Wilds shines and where it crumbles. Read the full review on Couch Soup to see why even a great game can leave a strange aftertaste.
