When Capcom released Monster Hunter World, I was convinced they had reached the pinnacle of the series, and there was no way they could top it. Then came Monster Hunter Rise, which, while enjoyable, just didn’t have that wow factor to dethrone MHW. But then Monster Hunter Wilds was announced, and the hype leading up to its release had me both excited and skeptical. After finally getting my hands on it, though? I can sum it up in just one word… damn.
Not only has Capcom surpassed Monster Hunter World and Rise, but Wilds delivers just about everything fans have been begging for—and then some. The game is everything we wanted and more, evolving the series in ways I never expected. This isn’t just a step forward; it’s a leap.
