Monster Hunter Wilds brings a breath of fresh air to the Monster Hunter universe. The game stays true to the formula, but introduces exciting new ideas and mechanics that deepen and expand the gameplay experience. In particular, the open world and dynamic ecosystem bring a new excitement to hunts, while the expanded team interactions add depth to battles. With its many quality-of-life features, it allows new players a good introduction to the series without robbing the series of its core mechanics. However, there are also a few stumbling blocks. The open world can sometimes feel a little too empty if players are not familiar with the new mechanics. And performance is currently the biggest point of criticism. Nevertheless, Monster Hunter Wilds is a successful evolution of the series that will captivate old fans and newcomers alike. Anyone who loves hunting is guaranteed to have fun with this new chapter.

Monster Hunter Wilds is the definitive Open-World Monster Hunter experience. Where Rise feels a more traditional game that fans of the classics will appreciate more, Wilds truly opens the door to everybody and continues to build on the success of World. From the grand, epic battles that leave a lasting impression, to a surprising story that compels, an enjoyable abundance of quests and items to find and combat variety unlike anything else out there. Monster Hunter Wilds is just starting life as the game you’ll keep coming back to in 2025 and once more establishes Capcom as the most consistent, reliable, and high-quality AAA publisher in the world today.
Monster Hunter Wilds is worth every penny. The game offers countless hours of fun, a challenging post-game, new, even more powerful monsters, and an improved multiplayer mode.

I’d love to talk about and gush over all of the cool aspects of Wilds, but for a review, there’s largely no point because the overbearing streamlining, hand-holding, and dumbing down of the game completely ruins those cool aspects for me. Anything positive thing I could say would have a hundred caveats waiting in the wings. For the first time, I have a new entry in one of my favorite video game series, and I have absolutely no desire to play it.
Overall, Monster Hunter Wilds is arguably one of the best titles within the franchise in terms of story, combat, locations, enemies, and even characters, as it blends all of these aspects into one fantastic creation that tells an amazing story that ends in one of the most satisfying ways possible, putting many of the other Monster Hunter titles to shame.
Monster Hunter Wilds represents a modest yet logical evolution of the series, serving as an excellent entry point for new players with its robust, accessible, and relatively short campaign. However, it risks being "enough" for many, becoming a barrier to its true form in the post-game.

With the bugs already mentioned out of the way, my thoughts. The new Focus Mode in Monster Hunter Wilds makes combat a little easier for taking down monsters. I mainly used it to help fill my extract gauge for my Insect Glaive while fighting, since I usually use the Great Sword. Combat itself reacts well and monsters reacting to hits/parts breaking off provide great indicators for when monsters are near death. One minor issue I had with Monster Hunter Worlds was going back to camp to get a mission, then heading back out. This is different with Wilds as I can now return to camp on foot (if close by) and simply walk/ride back out to gather materials and fight monsters. Making the flow of the game much more enjoyable. The story itself was boring and honestly, I wasn’t really a fan of the characters besides one. And that was Rove the WudWud. He was just such a chill and funny little creature. Some fights feel a little unfair at times. But for someone who’s played the franchise longer, I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a walk in the park. Hopefully, over time, the game does get more optimised for those who are having the issues. But if you’re like me, who loves seeing a variety of beasts and what they can do? Or is simply looking for a fun cooperative game which isn’t a competitive shooter, I’d highly recommend picking this game up. That’s why I’m awarding it the Thumb Culture Platinum Award.
Monster Hunter Wilds introduces new mechanics while sticking true to the addictive gameplay loop, making this new addition just as entertaining as fans could hope for even if its storyline is lacking.
Monster Hunter Wilds is a great addition to the franchise while remaining accessible to new players. With a high learning curve it promises to keep you busy for hundreds of hours.
Monster Hunter Wilds offers a seamless world, dynamic weather and smart monster-a.i. The new Mount system and improved weapons ensure faster, tighter gameplay. The game is more accessible, but retains its ruthless end game. Monster Hunter Wilds combines innovation with the classic challenge.

Monster Hunter Wilds is a mechanically deep entry in the franchise, offering an expansive world and thrilling hunts. However, its steep learning curve and demanding system requirements may alienate newcomers and test even high-end PCs.
Monster Hunter Wilds is a beast of a game filled with incredible hunts and beautiful environments to explore… if your computer can handle its state at launch.
For newcomers, it’s the most accessible entry in the series yet, and for veterans, it’s a perfect evolution of what made Monster Hunter so special in the first place. With its vast world, deeply rewarding combat, and seemingly endless post-game content, Monster Hunter Wilds is simply an undeniable triumph.
Monster Hunter Wilds is recommended for being an impressive hunting experience, with a solid base to last for years if Capcom wishes. Undoubtedly, a must-have title both for fans of the franchise and for those who want to delve into this exciting world of colossal hunters and monsters.
