Monster Hunter Wilds review - a next step in the evolution

Monster Hunter Wilds is a good new addition to this long-running series. It takes some bold steps, and although not all of them are moving it in the right direction, the overall experience was still satisfactory. Monster Hunter keeps evolving as a series, and Capcom proves once again that they are the best in this genre they created over 20 years ago.

Quest Daily: 10 / 10 by Nathanael Peacock

Monster Hunter Wilds takes what makes the series great — hunting monsters — and evolves it in almost every way. The monsters are bigger, smarter, and more varied than ever before... Wilds is the best the series has ever been.

Completexbox: 80 / 100 by Jordan Campbell

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.

User Reviews Summary generated by AI

The main pros of the game

  • Combat Mechanics: Many players praise the combat system, noting it as the best in the series. Each weapon feels unique and offers intricate movesets, allowing for engaging gameplay.
  • New Food System: The ability to create meals from gathered ingredients has been positively received, adding a new layer to preparation before hunts.
  • Group Play: The Squad system and gathering hub are appreciated for making multiplayer experiences smoother and more enjoyable.
  • Updates and Content Additions: Some players acknowledge that Capcom is working on improving the game and adding new monsters, which shows a commitment to expanding the game over time.

The main cons of the game

  • Performance Issues: The game suffers from severe optimization problems, with many players experiencing crashes, low frame rates, and graphical glitches, even on high-end hardware.
  • Streamlined Gameplay: Users feel that the game has become too easy and lacks the depth and challenge that previous installments offered. The introduction of mechanics like auto-tracking and the focus mode has made hunts feel less engaging and rewarding.
  • Lack of Content: Many reviews mention that the game feels incomplete at launch, with fewer monsters and quests compared to previous titles. The drip-feeding of content through updates has also frustrated players.
  • Poor Storytelling and NPC Engagement: The story is described as lackluster, and the characters are seen as forgettable, lacking the charm of previous games.

The features or elements that are missing from the game according to users

  • Depth in Gameplay: Players miss the need for strategic planning and preparation before hunts, as the game simplifies many systems that previously required player engagement.
  • Exploration Incentives: There is a lack of rewards for exploring the environment, as much of the discovery is handed to players through the game's mechanics.
  • Player Housing and Village Progression: The absence of a personal space or village progression system that has been a staple in previous games is noted as a significant loss.
  • Meaningful Endgame Content: Players are looking for a more robust endgame experience, with challenges that feel rewarding and engaging rather than tedious.

Summary

  • Overall, while Monster Hunter Wilds has elements that some players enjoy, the overwhelming consensus is that it suffers from significant performance issues and a lack of depth and content compared to its predecessors. Many fans recommend waiting for further updates or considering earlier titles in the series for a more complete experience.
