I'm thrilled with this title: the stunning graphics, epic battles with a variety of monsters, beautifully crafted gear and weapons, and even the delicious in-game food have all captivated me. In this article, I'll provide a brief overview of the game and its system requirements.

What is the project about?

While the story in *Monster Hunter Wilds* might be clichéd and uninteresting, it's not the main draw for players. The protagonist, who can now speak, navigates through dialogues that feel AI-generated across six in-game chapters. However, the real allure lies in the intense, thrilling battles with a diverse array of unique monsters.

The protagonist, customizable as either male or female, embarks on an expedition to explore uncharted lands following the discovery of a child named Nata in the desert. Nata, the sole survivor of his tribe, was attacked by a mysterious creature known as the "White Ghost." The game attempts to infuse drama into the narrative, but the locals' unfamiliarity with weapons adds a layer of absurdity.

Despite a more structured and detailed world, the story still feels secondary to the gameplay. The game's linear narrative can become tiresome after about ten hours of play, and the campaign lasts around 15-20 hours. For those focused on hunting and freedom, the story might feel like an obstacle, but fortunately, most dialogues and cutscenes can be skipped.

The hunting mechanics in *Wilds* have been simplified. Wounds appear on monsters when hit, and holding the right buttons can destroy these wounds for massive damage and dropped parts, which are now automatically collected—a convenient feature that enhances the gameplay experience.

New rideable pets, Seikret, automatically run at maximum speed toward your hunting target or any point on the map. If you're knocked down, Seikret can quickly pick you up, saving you from devastating blows and allowing you to switch weapons or drink potions. This simplification is a welcome addition, especially in critical situations.

Seikret also navigates to your destination automatically, eliminating the need to constantly check the map. Fast travel to camps is another convenient feature, suggested by hovering over the tent icon.

Monsters in *Wilds* don't display health bars, requiring players to read their movements, animations, and sounds to gauge damage. Your companion will announce the monster's state, adding a new layer of interaction. Monsters now use the environment more strategically, with some forming packs, leading to multi-enemy encounters. However, you can always call for backup, either from other players or NPCs, making the experience more enjoyable and efficient, even in solo mode.
