Personally, I am thrilled with this title. The stunning graphics, epic battles with various monsters, beautiful and delicious food, and stunning gear and weapons are highlights. Oh, and did I mention the delicious food? But let's stay on track. In this article, I will provide a brief overview of the game and outline its system requirements.

What is the project about?

Let's not delve too deeply into the story—it's clichéd, boring, and uninteresting. However, players don't typically play Monster Hunter for the story. The protagonist can now speak, but the dialogues seem AI-generated, and we'll have to endure them across six in-game chapters.

Players value the Monster Hunter series for its intense, lengthy, yet thrilling battles with unique monsters. In Wilds, the protagonist, who can be either male or female, explores uncharted lands as part of an expedition. The expedition's purpose is to investigate the appearance of 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." The attempt to present the events as a drama adds an element of absurdity, especially since the locals, who have never invented weapons, are baffled by the hero's use of them.

The story in Wilds is more structured and cohesive, with more details about the world and refined narrative delivery. However, it still falls short of being a full-fledged story-driven game. The game often limits player freedom, forcing them to follow a strict script, which can feel exhausting by the tenth hour of gameplay.

Completing the campaign takes about 15–20 hours. For those who come to the game for freedom and hunting, the story may feel more like an obstacle than a motivation. Fortunately, most dialogues and cutscenes can be skipped, which is a definite plus for players like me who dislike lengthy dialogues.

Hunting in Wilds has been simplified. When you hit a monster, wounds appear on its body. By holding the right buttons, you can destroy the wound, dealing massive damage and causing a part of the monster to drop. These parts are now automatically collected, a convenient feature that deserves praise. The game also introduces new rideable pets called Seikret, which automatically run at maximum speed toward your hunting target or any point on the map. If you're knocked down, you can call your Seikret to pick you up almost instantly, saving you from lengthy recovery animations and devastating blows. This feature has been a lifesaver for me, especially when my HP is low.

Seikret's ability to automatically take you to your destination is another convenient feature, eliminating the need to constantly check the map. Fast travel to the camp is also available, which the game suggests when you hover the cursor over the tent icon.

In Wilds, monsters do not have visible health bars. Instead, you must read their movements, animations, and sounds to gauge their damage. Your fluffy companion will announce the monster's various states, adding a new layer to the gameplay. Monsters now use the environment more strategically in battles, such as crawling into floor crevices or climbing onto ledges. Some can form packs, requiring you to fight multiple enemies at once. However, you can always call for backup, either from live players or NPCs, making the experience more enjoyable and efficient, even in solo mode.

If you find the game lacking in challenge, you can always install mods to enhance your experience.
