What is the project about?

Let's skip the story for now—it's a bit clichéd and not the main draw of the game. The protagonist, who can now speak, navigates through six in-game chapters filled with dialogue that feels AI-generated. However, Monster Hunter Wilds isn't about the story; it's about the thrilling battles with unique monsters that keep players engaged.

In the game, the protagonist explores uncharted territories as part of an expedition triggered by the discovery of a child named Nata in the desert. Nata is the sole survivor of a tribe attacked by a mysterious creature known as the "White Ghost." The attempt to inject drama into the narrative feels somewhat absurd, especially given the locals' bafflement at the hero's use of weapons.

Despite the story's shortcomings, the narrative has become more structured and detailed. However, the game often limits player freedom with a strict script, which can feel restrictive by the tenth hour of gameplay. Completing the campaign takes about 15–20 hours, and for those focused on hunting, the story can seem like an obstacle. Thankfully, most dialogues and cutscenes can be skipped, a feature I greatly appreciate.

Hunting in Monster Hunter Wilds has been simplified. When you hit a monster, wounds appear, and by targeting these wounds, you can deal significant damage and collect parts automatically. This change is a welcome convenience. The game also introduces new rideable pets called Seikret, which can automatically transport you to your hunting targets or any map location at maximum speed. If you're knocked down, Seikret can swiftly pick you up, allowing you to switch weapons and heal, a feature that has saved me in many critical situations.

Seikret's ability to navigate to your destination without constant map-checking is another appreciated feature. Fast travel to camps is also available, making movement around the game world easier.

Monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds don't have visible health bars; instead, you must read their movements and sounds to gauge damage. However, your Seikret companion will alert you to the monster's state. Monsters now use the environment more strategically, adding depth to battles. Some can even form packs, requiring you to fight multiple enemies at once. If the challenge feels too great, you can call for help from other players or NPCs, making the experience more enjoyable and efficient.
