Though, I must admit, the food is particularly noteworthy, but let's not get too distracted. In this article, I'll provide a brief overview of the game and its system requirements.

What is the project about?

When it comes to the storyline of Monster Hunter Wilds, it's best not to dwell too deeply as it follows a rather clichéd and unengaging path. However, the narrative serves more as a tutorial than a focal point, as the real draw of the Monster Hunter series lies in its intense, lengthy, and thrilling monster battles. The protagonist, now with the ability to speak, navigates through a script that feels somewhat AI-generated over six in-game chapters.

The core of the game revolves around a protagonist, customizable in gender, who ventures into unexplored territories as part of an expedition. This journey is sparked by the discovery of a child named Nata in a supposedly uninhabited desert. Nata is the lone survivor of a tribe ravaged by a mysterious entity dubbed the "White Ghost." The game attempts to weave a dramatic narrative around these events, but the absurdity of locals unfamiliar with weapons juxtaposed against our well-armed hero adds a layer of humor.

The story in Wilds has become more detailed and structured, enhancing the world-building aspect. Yet, it remains far from being a story-driven experience. Moreover, the game often restricts player freedom, adhering to a strict script that may feel repetitive and tiresome by the tenth hour of play.

Completing the campaign takes approximately 15 to 20 hours. For those primarily interested in the freedom and thrill of the hunt, the storyline might seem more like an obstacle than an incentive. Fortunately, most dialogues and cutscenes can be skipped, a feature I particularly appreciate.

Hunting in Wilds has been streamlined. When you strike a monster, visible wounds appear, and by pressing the right buttons, you can cause these wounds to burst, dealing significant damage and causing parts of the monster to drop. These parts are automatically collected, a convenient feature that deserves commendation. Additionally, the introduction of rideable pets, Seikret, allows for swift navigation to your hunting targets or any map point. If knocked down, you can summon Seikret to quickly pick you up, avoiding lengthy recovery times and potentially fatal attacks. This feature has been a lifesaver for me on numerous occasions, allowing me to switch weapons and heal.

Seikret's automatic navigation to destinations eliminates the need to constantly check the map, enhancing the overall gaming experience. Fast travel to camps is also seamlessly integrated, suggested by the game when you hover over the tent icon.

In Wilds, monsters no longer display health bars, requiring players to interpret their movements, animations, and sounds to gauge their condition. Your companion, however, will vocalize the monster's status. Monsters have also evolved to utilize the environment more strategically, such as hiding in crevices or climbing ledges. Some species can even form packs, leading to multi-enemy combat scenarios. In these situations, you can call for backup, whether from other players or NPCs, making solo hunts more manageable and enjoyable.
