What is the project about?

While the story in Monster Hunter Wilds may not be its strongest suit—often feeling clichéd and somewhat uninteresting—it's clear that players aren't here for the narrative. The protagonist, now able to speak, engages in dialogues that sometimes feel AI-generated, spanning six in-game chapters. Yet, the real draw of the series remains the intense, thrilling battles with a variety of unique monsters.

In Monster Hunter Wilds, players take on the role of a hunter (selectable as male or female) tasked with exploring uncharted territories. The expedition's catalyst is the discovery of a child named Nata, found in a seemingly uninhabited desert. Nata is the sole survivor of his tribe, which was attacked by a mysterious creature known as the "White Ghost." The attempt to weave a dramatic narrative around these events adds an element of absurdity, especially given the local inhabitants' lack of weapons and their astonishment at the protagonist's use of them.

The story has become more structured and detailed, but it still doesn't qualify Monster Hunter Wilds as a story-driven game. The game often limits player freedom, requiring adherence to a strict script, which can feel exhausting by the tenth hour of play. Completing the campaign takes about 15-20 hours, and for those focused on hunting and exploration, the story may feel more like an obstacle. Thankfully, most dialogues and cutscenes can be skipped, a feature I greatly appreciate.

Hunting in Monster Hunter Wilds has been simplified, with wounds appearing on monsters when hit. By targeting these wounds, players can deal significant damage and obtain monster parts, which are now automatically collected—a feature that deserves praise. The introduction of rideable pets, like Seikret, further simplifies gameplay. Seikret can automatically navigate to your hunting target or any point on the map and can even pick you up if you're knocked down, saving you from lengthy recovery animations and potential devastating attacks. This feature has been a lifesaver for me, especially in tight situations.

Seikret's ability to automatically guide you to your destination eliminates the need to constantly check the map, enhancing the overall gaming experience. Fast travel to camps is also available, making navigation even more convenient.

In Monster Hunter Wilds, monsters do not have visible health bars, requiring players to interpret their movements, animations, and sounds to gauge their condition. Your companion will also announce the monster's state, adding a new layer of interaction. Monsters now use the environment more strategically, with some forming packs that can lead to challenging multi-enemy encounters. However, players can call for backup, either from other players or NPCs, making these battles more manageable and enjoyable.
