Monster Hunter Wildshas some rather big shoes to fill.
The reverence thatMonster Hunter Wildsshows for every single one of its monsters shines through from the very beginning.
Its a strange choice, though one that does tie into the games overall mantra.
For the first time in the series, the map is an interconnected, seamless, and dynamic one.
Not only that but there are seasons to reckon with here as well.
This doubling down on creating a living, breathing natural world follows the path laid inMonster Hunter World.
This time though, the variety in the life that occupies each region is genuinely breathtaking.
you’re free to practically hear David Attenborough narrating the whole thing.
Performance-wise, the game runs smoothly on PlayStation 5 Pro, especially in the Prioritize Framerate mode.
Focus, Hunter!
Perhaps the biggest game-changer is the ability to bring two weapons into battle with you.
Focus Mode switches up the way Hunts play out too.
It also adds Power Clashes, which trigger when youve achieved a succession of Perfect Guards.
Should I play Monster Hunter Wilds?
By doing this, its a very different game to that of the older entries in the series.
There are some basic auditory tweaks, motion sickness reduction, and an arachnophobia mode as well.
How I reviewed Monster Hunter Wilds
I playedMonster Hunter Wildsfor 30 hours on the PlayStation 5 Pro.
There were three graphics options available during the pre-release period: Prioritize Resolution, Balanced, and Prioritize Framerate.
On PlayStation 5 Pro, I played the game using a4KSamsungTV (Samsung 43-inch RU7400 Dynamic).
I used a PS5DualSense Edgecontroller, with the Razer Blackshark V2 gaming headset connected via the controller port.
