Overview
Monster Hunter Wilds is criticized for poor performance, lack of innovation, repetitive gameplay, and its £60 price tag, resulting in a 3.5 out of 10 score and a recommendation against purchasing it.
The core gameplay loop, mechanics, and character classes remain largely unchanged from earlier franchise entries, with movement and combat described as slow and clunky compared to titles like Dark Souls and Elden Ring.
Features advertised on Steam, including weather cycles and adaptive monster behaviors, are dismissed as standard elements seen in older games, while older series titles are suggested as superior alternatives to the new release.
Capcom is described as deficient in game development without recent high-quality releases, and the game exhibits severe optimization issues, low frame rates, and dated visuals even on dedicated gaming hardware.
