Monster Hunter Wilds Reviews
Capcom went above and beyond to make most of the Monster Hunter Wilds experience as enjoyable as possible. I went into the game wanting it to be a slight increase from Monster Hunter World and was surprised by the revamped weapons, environmental depth, and enjoyable cast of characters. Gone are the days of wishing the handler would get eaten by a Ratholos. Monster Hunter Wilds may have a few issues with online play and menu navigation but they are more than outweighed by the addictive combat and customization.
Monster Hunter Wilds is a title that despite having serious performance problems tries to innovate the Monster Hunter formula by bringing a more developed plot that does not always manage to involve us as it should and a lower difficulty than usual, but balances with new designs of monsters that are extremely more elaborate and new mechanics that change our approach to hunting. In short, an excellent title that I trust can improve with the constant support of Capcom that has always guaranteed with the latest chapters of the series.

Monster Hunter Wilds is another refined and streamlined entry that will coax new fans into the real challenge - long-time hunters can still find some fun in the Forbidden Lands.
Capcom knows the importance of Monster Hunter Wilds and the franchise, and it shows. The seven-year gap between Worlds and Wilds has been put to excellent use, with the latter easily grabbing the crown as the best mainline game, no mean feat considering the storied origins it comes from. Whether it be the world-building or the visual quality, the monsters and the combat, or the chase for the next big hunt and improved gear, fans will have to prepare themselves for the hunt of a lifetime with Wilds, and there’s nothing better than that.
Monster Hunter Wilds is a solid entry within the Monster Hunter series, and a great game for fans and newcomers alike. Long time fans might be annoyed or put off by the on-rails story the game forces you to finish, but once you get to High Rank it is a return to form. Meanwhile this same intro is perfect for easing new players into this universe, and there are some interesting moments that really stand out. Is it the greatest story ever told? Of course not. But it was at least entertaining.
A visually stunning, deeply immersive evolution of the Monster Hunter formula. Though the learning curve can be steep, those who embrace the hunt will find Monster Hunter Wilds one of the most rewarding action RPGs to date.
Monster Hunter Wilds is a bold evolution for the franchise, embracing a more open-world approach while making the experience more accessible than ever. For newcomers, this is arguably the best entry point into the series, offering streamlined mechanics and a gentler learning curve. However, veterans may find the excessive hand-holding and sluggish early-game pacing to be a step backward from previous entries.
Monster Hunter Wilds doesn’t stray too far from the pack, but the update via the RE Engine and some added mobility do make their presence known. While Wilds is certainly easier than previous editions, it carves its own path and delivers a truly memorable adventure.
Monster Hunter Wilds is probably the first game in the popular franchise to really consume me. Whether it was because I played a lot of it with a couple of friends or just didn’t really give the previous games enough chance, I am not entirely sure. What I can be sure of though is that it is a rich and detailed world that feels fantastic to play, both for veterans of the series and newcomers also. I have read various comments from fans stating that it is a little easier than previous experiences. For me though, it was challenging enough without becoming too difficult to drive me away. The fluidity of combat seems drastically improved on what I have delved into before. Sure there could still be some minor improvements going forwards, most notably the cluttered and untidy UI. But for the most part I had a great time and will continue to do so after 20+ hours with the game. For those solo players out there like myself who tried and didn’t like Monster Hunter, try and grab some mates to enhance the adventure. If not you could try the looking for game feature on Xbox, which I used for the very first time to find others to slay giant monsters with.
Monster Hunter Wilds is a really great production that will appeal to both series veterans and entirely new players. The variety of monsters, engaging combat, large arsenal of weapons, and well-designed crafting make every hunt truly exciting. However, we can’t overlook certain flaws, such as the outdated graphics, unnecessary microtransactions, and a lackluster story, which further emphasizes that playing the game solo is far less enjoyable than hunting with friends. Still, it’s definitely worth going on this hunt!

Monster Hunter Wilds continues to smooth out the edges of the series in clever ways, making the experience more accessible and fluid. However, in this quest for simplicity, the game has lost some of the challenge that made equipment and progress so satisfying in previous chapters. The more dynamic and responsive combat is among the best in the series, but without a truly challenging endgame, the fun is likely to fade quickly, unless Capcom soon releases new monsters capable of really challenging us. The graphics system really let down for those without top-of-the-line PC components, this problem needs to be fixed if you don't want to shoot yourself in the foot

In its cathartic gameplay, Monster Hunter Wilds shows that even the world’s grandest predators can fall when their weaknesses are understood and exploited.
Monster hunter wilds is not a perfect game but its pretty close. I had few instances where in a fight my weapon would become sheathed. Which would cause me to either take damage or miss opportunities to land a big hit on the monster. It was not an important thing for me, but the story is linear, good but linear. I know for others that can cause them to lose interest.
Monster Hunter Wilds doesn't revolutionize the series. In fact, it takes what it does best and makes it more accessible. Battles are fun, and so are encounters. Getting support, whether from strangers, friends or NPCs, has never been easier. Despite all this, the game suffers from problems that don't place it among the best in the franchise. The game is much shorter than we're used to, and sound problems are recurrent. But that doesn't stop me from having a lot of fun with Monster Hunter Wilds. And so should you. It's hunting time!
