As a fan, I'm absolutely thrilled with Monster Hunter Wilds. From its stunning graphics to the epic battles against a variety of monsters, and not to mention the beautifully crafted gear, weapons, and—oh yes—the delicious in-game food, this game is a feast for the senses. Let's dive into what makes this game special and discuss its system requirements.

What is the project about?

The story in Monster Hunter Wilds might not be its strongest suit—it's rather clichéd and serves mainly as a tutorial. The protagonist, who can finally speak, sometimes feels like their dialogue is AI-generated, leading us through six in-game chapters. But let's be honest, players aren't here for the story. They're here for the thrilling, intense battles with a wide array of unique monsters.

In the game, you take on the role of a hunter, either male or female, exploring uncharted lands as part of an expedition. The expedition's catalyst is a child named Nata, found in the desert, suggesting that these supposedly uninhabited lands may hold more secrets. Nata is the sole survivor of a tribe attacked by a mysterious creature known as the "White Ghost." While the attempt to infuse drama adds a touch of absurdity, the game's focus remains firmly on the hunt.

The narrative in Wilds is more structured and detailed than its predecessors, yet it still falls short of being a compelling story-driven experience. The game often limits player freedom, enforcing a strict script that can feel tedious by the tenth hour. The campaign takes about 15-20 hours to complete, and for many, the story might feel more like an obstacle than an engaging part of the game. Thankfully, most dialogues and cutscenes can be skipped, which is a big plus for those of us who prefer to focus on the action.

Hunting in Monster Hunter Wilds has been streamlined. Hitting a monster now causes visible wounds that, when targeted correctly, result in massive damage and the dropping of monster parts. These parts are automatically collected, a change that's both convenient and appreciated. The game also introduces new rideable pets called Seikret, which can automatically rush towards your hunting targets or any point on the map at maximum speed. If you're knocked down, Seikret can pick you up almost instantly, allowing you to switch weapons or heal, which is a game-changer in tight situations.

Seikret's ability to navigate to your destination without constantly checking the map adds a layer of convenience that enhances the overall experience. Additionally, fast travel options are readily available, making it easier to return to camp.

In Monster Hunter Wilds, traditional health bars for monsters are absent, requiring players to read the enemy's movements, animations, and sounds to gauge damage. Your trusty Seikret will also announce the monster's various states, adding a new layer of interaction. Monsters now use the environment more strategically in battles, and some can even form packs, creating more challenging combat scenarios. However, you can always call for backup, whether from other players or NPCs, to tackle these challenges.

For those seeking an even greater challenge, mods are available to increase the difficulty.
