I have a confession. For over a decade I’ve tried, and failed, to get into Monster Hunter. I have countless friends that love the series and as it’s only gotten more popular, I kept feeling like I was missing out. But in every game I’d try, from Monster Hunter Tri to World, I just couldn’t get it — I was missing something. But with Monster Hunter Wilds, it’s like a switch has suddenly flipped.
A big part of that, to me, seems to be how streamlined Wilds makes the Monster Hunter formula, chopping out a lot of the busy work to focus squarely on those big cinematic moments. This is the Monster Hunter for anyone who’s been looking for a way into the cool kids club.
