Monster Hunter Wilds is a fantastic new entry into the franchise. For the most part, I feel like every new feature feels good and works well, and the monsters are certainly a delight to fight. The only things that might hold it back slightly are some performance issues, but even those don't get in the way of the core fun of smashing monsters, looting gear, and repeating. Fans of the franchise should have a fantastic time with this latest entry, and I hope it becomes a blueprint for future games in the franchise.

Monster Hunter Wilds is a brilliant action role-playing game that progresses by challenging the player against a multitude of amazing bosses. Don't be afraid of the detailed gameplay systems, the complex appearance of some menus, the large number of items, or even the long and rich history of the series. Even if you have never experienced a single minute of any version of the Monster Hunter series before, Monster Hunter Wilds deserves a chance. To put it simply and put your mind at ease: Capcom has shone once again.

It’s always fun to hunt a giant monster with your over the top weapons and Monster Hunter Wilds delivers that epic feeling most of the time (except for the low difficulty). It courageously aims for the high bar that MH World has been set up but can’t reach there. Yet.

Despite a shaky start, Monster Hunter Wilds delivered on the most important thing that matters in a Monster Hunter game: the core gameplay loop. The game is built on a solid foundation, and it is only going to get better from here. However, it needs to be said that the game still suffers from optimization issues to this day, two weeks after launch. Wilds will go down in history as a great Monster Hunter game. How great it ultimately will be remains to be seen. What I do know is that the game is a blast, and I can’t recommend it enough.

It may not change the minds of those who didn't love MHWorld, but Monster Hunter Wilds is the perfect and natural evolution of Capcom's greatest success and the definitive monster hunting game that absolutely should not be missing from every hunter's library.

My main gripe is that Monster Hunter Wilds plays too similarly to previous entries but there's still a lot to love including its thrilling hunts against creative monsters, weapon and build diversity, and, of course, the chance to pet Poogie. 🐖

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.
