Monster Hunter Wilds (PS5)

Monster Hunter Wilds is a worthy sequel to 2018s Monster Hunter World that adds enough new things to keep the formula feeling fresh while being as deep and engaging as it ever has been.

Monster Hunter Wilds is a brand-new entry in the Monster Hunter series where players join the ranks of a special Research Commission team investigating the Forbidden Lands.

The sheer scale of these creatures is truly staggering—the apex predators stand out as some of the most awe-inspiring designs I’ve encountered in any game, period.

Monster Hunter Wilds Review ( PS5 ) – The release of a new Monster Hunter game always feels like a landmark moment in Capcom’s catalogue. It’s a new era and a new start for the series that has been running for over 20 years, and with one monolith of a legacy behind its name. Being the first “mainline” release in the franchise since Monster Hunter World in 2018, it’s been a minute since hunters on current platforms have had something meaty to dig into. And I’m incredibly pleased to report that Monster Hunter Wilds delivers not only on ambitious new ideas, but on the quality that people have come to expect out of the series as a whole. Monster Hunter Wilds is a titanic release that will no doubt usher in a brand new crowd of players, as well as draw veterans back for some of the most engaging and impressive gameplay the series has ever seen, with meaningful improvements in almost every way.
