Early reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Monster Hunter Wilds boasts a remarkable 89/100 Metacritic score (based on 54 PS5 reviews). Reviewers applaud the seamless blend of signature complex gameplay and a breathtaking, dynamic open world. An improved UI ensures accessibility for newcomers without sacrificing depth.
The core gameplay of battling massive monsters remains a highlight, amplified by stunning visuals and innovative features like dual weapon slots and a focus mode. However, some reviewers note that the combat might feel repetitive after extended play. Another point of discussion is the skill system, which strictly links offensive abilities to weapons and defensive attributes to armor and accessories. Despite these minor drawbacks, Monster Hunter Wilds promises an unforgettable experience for seasoned hunters and newcomers alike.
