What is the project about?

The storyline of Monster Hunter Wilds might not be its strongest suit, often criticized for being clichéd and unengaging. However, the game's allure doesn't lie in its narrative. Players are more drawn to the thrilling and intense monster battles, which are plentiful and unique. The protagonist, customizable as either male or female, embarks on an expedition to explore uncharted lands, triggered by the discovery of a child named Nata in the desert. Nata is the last survivor of a tribe decimated by a mysterious creature known as the "White Ghost."

While the story attempts to add dramatic elements, it often feels absurd, especially when juxtaposed with the locals' lack of weapon technology. Despite this, the narrative has been made more cohesive with a detailed world and refined storytelling, although it remains far from a story-driven experience. The game's linear approach can feel restrictive by the tenth hour, and the 15-20 hour campaign might feel more like a hurdle than a motivator for some players. Thankfully, dialogues and cutscenes can be skipped, which is a major plus for those who aren't interested in the narrative.

Hunting mechanics in Monster Hunter Wilds have been simplified for better gameplay. When you hit a monster, visible wounds appear on its body. By targeting these wounds, you can deal significant damage and obtain monster parts, which are now automatically collected—a feature that greatly enhances the gameplay experience. The introduction of rideable pets, such as Seikret, further streamlines the hunting process. Seikret automatically dashes to your target or any map point at full speed, and can even rescue you from near-death situations, allowing you to switch weapons and heal. This feature, though a simplification, is a welcome addition for many players, including myself.

Seikret's navigation assistance is another convenient feature, eliminating the need to constantly check the map. Fast travel to camps is also readily available, enhancing the overall flow of the game.

Monster health bars are absent, maintaining the series' tradition of requiring players to read enemy movements, animations, and sounds to assess damage. However, in Wilds, your pet can vocalize the monster's state, adding a new layer to the gameplay. Monsters now use the environment more tactically, and some can even form packs, increasing the challenge. Yet, you're never alone; you can summon help from other players or NPCs to tackle these encounters, making group hunts more engaging and efficient.
