‘Monster Hunter Wilds’: Play For The Gameplay, Stay For The Gameplay
Monster Hunter Wilds, released on February 28, 2025, is the latest installment in Capcom's critically acclaimed action-adventure RPG series. The latest installment in the MH franchise was released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows PCs, and it has garnered quite a response from its fanbase for its attention to new quality-of-life innovations and absurd challenges. Read through ISO's review below.
Gameplay and Features
Welcome to Monster Hunter Wilds, where the Forbidden Lands are your new playground! This vast open world is alive, with ever-changing weather and ecosystems that'll have you constantly on your toes. And let's talk weapons—14 different classes, each with its own unique flair. Whether you prefer slicing, dicing, or blowing things up from afar, there's a weapon for you. A cool new addition is the Focus mode, which lets you lock onto monster weak spots for even more tactical, heart-pounding battles. Oh, and you're not alone out there—you'll get to ride the Seikret, a trusty mount that makes getting around and kicking monster butt even easier!
Reception
We love how Monster Hunter Wilds is both newbie-friendly and deeply satisfying for long-time fans. The 15-hour campaign is a great intro to the game's vast world and mechanics, but veteran hunters might find it a little too easy at first. The real meat of the game? It's all in the post-campaign grind and multiplayer, where the challenges ramp up to a thrilling level.
Now, let's talk tech: the PC version has had its hiccups. Like major stutter and optimization flaws. The good news? Capcom's already on the case, working hard to patch things up. Our PS5 playthrough, on the other hand, has been flawless, running at smooth frame rates with no stutters whatsoever.
Conclusion
Monster Hunter Wilds is a fresh and exciting entry in the series, bringing plenty of new features and challenges to the table. While some technical bumps are still being worked out, the game shines in its design and immersive world. Capcom has once again delivered a monster-hunting experience that's both epic and engaging, making it a must-try for both new hunters and seasoned veterans!
