In our Monster Hunter Wilds review article, we look closely at the structure that will offer a pleasant hunting experience for the experiences that carry the series one step further after World.
Monster Hunter Wilds Review: With the new version of Capcom’s most valuable series of Capcom, which was formed for the first time in the west in 2018 with Monster Hunter World and continued to go quickly with Rise. Unlike Rise, which comes out of Nintendo Switch and then came to other platforms, Monster Hunter Wilds comes directly as the continuation of World.
Monster Hunter Wilds Review: Return to Monster Hunting
Our story begins with a missing child. Hunter’s Guild is aware of the existence of a new and dangerous monster based on what this child says and sends a research team to control it. During our journey to the forbidden lands with our ship, we save the first natives of the region from trouble and we set up our camp in the region with unique characteristics.
Together with Monster Hunter Wilds, a new way has been preferred in the storytelling, this time our hunter is not a silent main character, but they have their own comments against events and dialogues that give the player the freedom to choose in some places. You know, if there were various choices in the story and the side characters are deeper, it was a game that is quite close to the classic RPG games. Even this time, the side characters are not remained as the types in the camp, they walk around the adventure and always remind themselves. Moreover, none of them is annoying.
The characters are constantly active, the hunters in the camp come to help when we throw sauce, comment while visiting the regions, giving us the necessary permissions of our supervisor when the hunting started, and sometimes some of the comments made by our character just before the hunting enriched the story of the game a little more. I was a little nervous about the child next to us, and I can’t open it much because of the spoilers. In the meantime, after Credits flowing after I finished the game you should not be happy, you already know, but let me remind you again.
Time for target -oriented attacks
When the name of the game is Monster Hunter, we call it a story, our aim is to hunt monsters and develop equipment and hunt more monsters. All for ecological balance !! Capcom’s game is very similar to Monster Hunter World, both visually and mechanics. But this doesn’t mean that Wilds has an version of an additional package, which has been released with different monsters. A lot of different mechanical and old games you miss are waiting for you at Wilds. Let’s see them.
The most important vehicle of the hunter weapon, where we use the 14 weapons in World has returned. There is no new weapon, but almost all of the old weapons have been overhauled, more comfortable and fun to use. I focused on Long Sword – Dagger – Sword Shield weapons, but I had almost all the weapons, but I had the chance to try Long Sword – Sword Shield, because I couldn’t get used to the new state of Insect Glaive in World and my time for review. Long Sword was really fun with Dagger’s attack on Titan with Focus Attack attacks, throwing heads into the monsters with shield and sword and spraying them back and new Spirit Sword capabilities. Hunting Horn, Bow, Bowgun species have now become effective even on your own.
The newly added Focus Mode was a great feature in war mechanics. Focus mode you pass by pressing a button, you can choose to target the point of the monster, you can hit this point on the hit. Open wounds can be broken more easily, as well as Focus Strike attacks. It creates very good opportunities to disrupt the balance of the monster, to obtain extra parts and to cause high damage. Focus Mode worked very much while making heavy but effective attacks like hammer and Greatswords, while 75 %of the attacks used to be wasted.
Hook Slinger, our equipment, which we can call the second weapon of the hunter (or third), has an important mission in this game. Again, we take explosives or something from the ground, but now it allows us to interact with the environment. Slinger has become an important equipment as a tool for collecting materials from the environment, grabbing the parts of the enemy, clinging to objects from large attacks to objects and activating some traps. Of course, in various situations such as flash pod, screamer pod, grounding pod, you use it for objects that will turn the conditions in your favor.
Speaking of the second weapon, we can now carry two weapons in the game! With the transition of the monsters to the second form while using a knife in World, there were moments that I said, “I wish it was a hammer now ,, the producers must have heard it! Together with Wilds, we hide a second weapon on Seikret, and we can call the bird we want during the war and get the other weapon. I will soon talk about the other beauties of Seikret, but I had the reason to love this weapon change event. It is a great innovation that allows the team to give buff to the team with Horn and then move on to the knives.
Seikret Forbidden Lands is one of the most beautiful innovations for us. Now we don’t have to run everywhere or go using a taxi service, we call our bird friend, if we want to control it, if you want, it goes automatically towards the point we put. We can fight on it, use items and replace our gun with a backup. Seikret, which makes traveling in the game more fun, also plays a very effective role in wars. As I escape from big attacks, I do a lot of work, I don’t have to stand in a fixed and danger to increase the sharpness of my weapon in the middle of the war, I even drink my potion. It was also good to wander with the dog in Rise, but Seikret managed to cross it down.
In the story of the game, when you move enough to see the Credits part, high -level monsters are opened. More monsters, different types of monsters you know and different things are hunting. Even reaching here took about 25 hours, and when I arrived, I said, “The game has shown me very little, a lot of innovations came.” Arena -style fights, research, online features or something, there are content to be played for hundreds of hours. Of course, we cannot explain more of this without breaking the rules of examination. But with periodic updates, more monster is known to be the future. My concern about it may be that he can get a small number of updates like Rise, but I am not very worried about the continuation of World and I remember how rich content he has gained.
Finally, I would like to mention the sauce system. Although I played the game alone for a long time, I needed help in some hunting. In the game we can throw sauce phlas and ask for help from other players, which already had. But now we can see that the NPC hunters that we encounter in the camp come and help us when the sauce flare is active for a while. They also play well, I usually die in wars. I came across other reviewers once or two, either I went to help or they came. In this case, one of the NPC assistants comes out and the player is replacing. Of course, on the online side of the Squad or a party in the form of entering the features, but I have seen various improvements to play both by myself and with friends.
Graphic and Performance
Developed with Resident Evil, Wilds, which uses the Re Engine engine used in Monster Hunter World, also attracted our attention with performance problems during the Beta period. They said it was an old version there and that these problems would not be in the main game, but we said that it is still useful to be cautious. I played almost smoothly on my computer with RTX 4070 graphics card and AMD Ryzen 5 7600 processor. I bought an average of 60 fps at the highest settings at 2K resolution, and when I pulled the settings from Ultra to High and opened the DLSS, the average worked very fluently with 75 FPS. Ha, I am satisfied with this performance as a person who played 30 FPS in PS4 for 2 years, but I also saw that 1080p resolution received higher values.
The game looks great, the unique structure of each region, the spaces that look different in different times and climatic conditions, giant maps connected to each other, I even enjoyed the surrounding area. Different regions are actually directly connected to each other and you can reach the other region while walking with birds. The game makes a short load during these transitions, actually does it without flashing, but for now I noticed because of the muscles experienced during those loads, maybe the day of exit becomes smoother.
The graphics look very good, but maybe the graphic drivers of the game may be because they are not yet ready, I have encountered various errors. I didn’t have a big problem with the loading of the coatings, sometimes there were seconds of delays in big areas. Only in some fights, there are sudden graphic breaks. When it happened to me in the open world, I thought there was a lot of factors in the environment, but in the arena, in the most closed region that could happen, and when it came to me with an enemy without much detailed attacks. I could not find any other way to see the front between a lot of triangles to solve, to run to a safe point and to pray to pass. I know that there is at least one person who has experienced this problem from other friends who examine it.
The game has poured again about music, I liked the theme of almost every monster. Our camp music and the tent’s own theme is also very good. I am very happy with the vocalities, I tried the game with both English and Japanese voice actor, both of them are very good. Now our Palico friends can speak voice, their voice is also good, but I will prefer to continue “Mır Mır” again.
In the meantime, let me open a last section in the graphics section, the meals seem to be wonderful in Monster Hunter quality! Meat, fish, vegetables or something, we make ribs on the grill seems very nice, I can not tell you that there are a feast scenes in the game. While playing a time of the night, “Our village has prepared a feast for you,” he did not turn down the proposal, then I looked at the neck with a bent yogurt in the refrigerator had been a game session. The bottom side puts melted cheese on the bread, even it makes it hungry!
Conclusion
Monster Hunter Wilds is a great game. A lot of new players were included in the world of World and Monster Hunter, some of them had approached Rise cold and preferred to play. I’m not one of them, and I think Rise is a very good game, but this game is amazing enough to appeal to everyone who loves World. With a lot of plug -ins that make life easier, it is also good enough to allow new players to play comfortably. It is as if they have brought together the best aspects of Monster Hunter games and prepared a plate enough to enjoy the new players and presented them to us.
Monster Hunter Wilds, which is normally 70 dollars, is available in Steam with regional pricing with a price tag of $ 53. In the consoles, the PlayStation 5 herds of PSN and the Xbox Store seems to be 2,800 TL.
