Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought Monster Hunter Wilds on PS5 as a Birthday present for myself. Personally, I really liked the new and the returning monsters. Plus, the story was interesting. Coming from someone who has played Monster Hunter World and Monster Hunter Rise, in my opinion, Monster Hunter Wilds is almost equal to Rise. That's mostly due to the characters. I cared ever so slightly more about the people and the NPCs than the people in Rise. The visuals do look a bit better than Rise, but none of them compare to World. Wilds does do a good job at getting the player's attention with he story and the new/returning monsters. But Rise has that mechanic that makes it so that you can ride on the monsters! I may not Love Rise, I cant ignore that mechanic. The Seikrets are a cool way of traversing the large landscapes in the game. You can even customize the colors and feathers of the seikret. However, I don't like how there's this mechanic that essentially automatically moves you to a desired pinned location on the map. Not to sound old, but back in my day, when I played Monster Hunter World you ran everywhere and there was an incentive to actually remember most of the landmarks and items located in the area and using your map. In my opinion, it was good to just take in the sights and sounds of the environment, from the beauty of the Ancient Forest to the latent beauty of the Rotten Vale. Not to mention how all the monsters interacted in their environment was a wonderful time as well. All this while doing a mission that lasts for like 50 minutes. The funny thing is, there were times in World where I would just go to these areas not because I had a mission, but because I needed some resources and I wanted to just take in the environment. no heated, intense battles, just walking around sometimes in my ghilie mantle collecting the occasional mining deposits, honey, etc. I just wanted to take in the location's vibe. And the off chance you do get lost while on a mission, Monster Hunter World has scoutflies which literally point you in the right direction. And Rise has these creatures known as Palamutes, which essentially serve the same function as Seikrets except Palamutes can actually fight with you. Seikrets only help you get to where you need to go quickly, and someone you can call on quickly during a monster hunt. In Rise and Wilds, its made too easy to just get anywhere and while yes its a "quality of life" improvement, it just tells the player: instead of taking your time and really take in the sights and sounds Wilds has to offer, just open your map, pin the monster, ride on your Seikret, and just pay no mind to the environment. blatantly in your face "". There's no incentive to take anything in the land... just go to the destination, hunt a monster, mission completed, rinse and repeat. Also there needs to be more of a challenge in Wilds. I lost multiple times in World even put +800 hours into that game. The challenge is what got me hooked. Every monster late game was a challenge and I loved that. Rise didn't have that for me and Wilds was so close. if I could I would give this game 3.5/5 stars, but I'll just round up. I would recommend this game to someone. Either this game or World because I'm biased. Maybe Rise solely because of that mechanic i said earlier.

Monster Hunter Wilds Review — The Hunt Never Ends (And I Don’t Want It To) I’ve poured countless hours into Monster Hunter Wilds with my work friends, and somehow, I’m still hungry for more. From the moment we loaded in, the game hooked us—not just with its stunning environments and jaw-dropping monster designs, but with how naturally it brought us together as a team. Every hunt feels like a shared war story in the making. Whether we’re perfectly synced or chaotically scrambling to stay alive, the camaraderie built through clutch revives, well-timed traps, and last-second kills is second to none. Some of our best after-work conversations have come straight from post-hunt breakdowns—and honestly, few games manage to blend that kind of teamwork and adrenaline rush so seamlessly. Wilds takes everything great about the series and turns it up. The monsters are more dynamic, the environments feel alive, and the weapon balance keeps things fresh no matter what role I take. Yet what really stands out is the feel of the game—it’s clear Capcom designed this not just for solo grinders, but for tight-knit squads like mine who treat every hunt like a bonding experience. Even after dozens (maybe hundreds) of hunts, we’re still planning strategies, sharing builds, and finding new things to explore. This isn’t just a game; it’s part of our routine now—and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. Final Verdict: 10/10 — A must-play for anyone who wants more than just a game. This is a shared obsession, and I hope it never ends.

Wow. Just, wow. Monster Hunter Wilds is everything I hoped for and more! The visual fidelity is breathtaking; the environments are stunningly beautiful and deeply immersive. Exploring this vast, open world is a joy in itself, but what truly elevates the experience is how integral the world becomes to the hunt. Using the environment to strategically tackle monsters feels incredibly intuitive and rewarding. The combat depth has reached new heights. As a Charge Blade main, the newfound freedom to switch weapons on the fly mid-combat is revolutionary and keeps every fight feeling fresh and exhilarating. When a monster proves particularly challenging, being able to fire off a signal flare for backup is such a thoughtful and welcome addition. Combine all of this with a compelling story, and you have a truly unforgettable game.

Performance aside, this is one of the best games I’ve played in a long time. While it might take some time for newcomers to get into it, at the end of the day it brings the pure fun that makes gaming worthwhile, which is somewhat rare these days. Strong recommend

I'm a longtime series fan and very quickly into the game Wilds starts introducing some monster designs that really stray from the norm (in a good way). I love the returning classics of course, but monsters like Xu Wu really impressed me.

Runs perfectly. No issues. Gameplay is fun and monster designs are really cool. If you like the idea of fighting giant dinosaurs with big swords, bows, guns, and axes, give it a shot! Especially with friends. Truly in the running for game of the year 2025.

Very fun game for fans of the series, makes time fly, looks amazing sounds great, controls are good enough, not the easiest to get going multiplayer with a friend but it's a great game otherwise

Monster Hunter Wilds is a great game for hunters new and returning. As of now there is a lag spike when fast traveling to the first camp.

The graphics are amazing the game is definitely easy for anyone to play its fun as ever and definitely a great game to play with friends everything about it makes you want to reccomend it to everyone

I'm happy to have purchased this because I have something to keep time, best purchase.

Liked World, loved Iceborne, and loved Rise Wilds is beautiful, runs at a smooth 60fps in performance mode, the weapons all feel great to use, the monsters are super creative, and the game is dripping with lots of nice details. However, this game has some of the worst pacing I've played in a game. Rather than having a hub world where you get and post quests, focus on finding/fighting monsters, or exploring the environments at your own pace, the first several hours of this game force you into slow ridealongs with NPCs, find NPCs to talk to, and skip through yapathon cutscenes. After 20-30 minutes of this you'll end up in a fight that lasts 5 minutes and is so easy there's no threat of failure nor need to learn or prepare for the encounter. Like World, you need to get far enough into a quest for friends to join. What happened? In Rise you post the quest, friends join, and you do everything together. Not to mention, finding and grouping up with friends is way more cumbersome and obtuse than in World or Rise. Menus and UI were never MH's strongest attributes, but are even more unclear and difficult to navigate than ever. Wilds feels like 1 step forward in terms of performance, mechanics, and environmental richness, but 2 steps back in terms of pacing, multiplayer, and letting veterans enjoy more freedom earlier in the game

One of the best Monster Hunter games I've ever played!

Long waited for this game, have a blast playing with my buddies.

One of my favorite monster hunter games. It’s not perfect, some parts are pretty easy, but it plays great, and it looks great.

This is one of the best games I have ever played. Capcom really outdid themselves.

For veteran hunters this game is pretty easy. Graphics are nice. Hopefully there will be an update soon so they can add elder dragons.

Good game, hard to get the hang at first if this is your first monster hunter game but it’s still very fun to play

Monster Hunter Wilds didn’t disappoint. The new monsters and gameplay are great and im looking forward to updates to hunt old favorites.

Challenging, fun and creative. I bought it for my great nephew and he loves it. It is not sn easy game but he is able to kill the monsters.

Great game. The mechanics take a little while to understand and get into, but worth it.
