As a fervent fan of the franchise, I'm thrilled to dive into this new title. The game boasts stunning graphics, epic battles with a variety of monsters, and an array of visually appealing gear and weapons. Not to mention, the in-game food looks incredibly delicious—although I admit I might have gotten a bit distracted by it! In this article, I'll give you a brief overview of the game and its system requirements.

Let's skip the story for a moment, as it's quite clichéd and doesn't stand out. Players aren't drawn to Monster Hunter for its narrative anyway. Though the protagonist can now speak, the dialogues seem a bit robotic, reminiscent of something an AI might write. This game spans six in-game chapters, so brace yourself for the conversational journey ahead.

The true allure of *Monster Hunter Wilds* lies in its thrilling, intense battles with a plethora of unique monsters. The protagonist, who can be customized as either male or female, embarks on an expedition to explore uncharted lands. The mission starts with the discovery of a child named Nata in the desert, hinting at the presence of an unknown tribe that was attacked by a mysterious creature dubbed the "White Ghost."

Despite the attempt to weave a dramatic storyline, it often comes off as absurd. The local inhabitants, who never developed weapons, are bewildered by the protagonist's arsenal. The narrative has become more structured and detailed, but it still falls short of being a compelling story-driven experience. Moreover, the game tends to restrict player freedom, enforcing a linear script that can feel tiresome after around ten hours of play.

Completing the campaign will take approximately 15-20 hours. For those who are here for the hunting and freedom, the story might feel more like a hurdle than a highlight. Thankfully, most dialogues and cutscenes can be skipped, which is a significant plus for players like me who prefer to focus on the action.

Hunting in *Monster Hunter Wilds* has been streamlined. When you strike a monster, visible wounds appear on its body. By targeting these wounds, you can deal massive damage and cause parts of the monster to drop, which are now automatically collected—a convenient feature that deserves applause. The game also introduces rideable pets called Seikret, which automatically run at top speed to your hunting target or any point on the map. If you're knocked down, Seikret can quickly pick you up, saving you from lengthy recovery animations and potential fatal attacks. This simplification is a lifesaver, especially when your health is critically low.

Seikret's ability to navigate you to your destination without constant map-checking is another welcome feature. Fast travel to camps is also available, making navigation even smoother.

Monsters in *Wilds* don't have visible health bars, requiring you to read their movements, animations, and sounds to gauge their condition. Your Seikret companion will also vocalize the monster's state, adding a new layer to the hunting experience. Monsters now utilize the environment more strategically, hiding in crevices or climbing ledges, and some can even form packs, leading to multi-enemy encounters. In such scenarios, you can call for backup from other players or NPCs, making the hunt more enjoyable and efficient.
