Monster Hunter Wilds: First Impressions After the Long-Awaited Release (massivelyop.com)

Well, we finally made it! I’ve genuinely been looking forward to Monster Hunter Wilds, and now I’ve finally started playing it. Wanted to share my first impressions. Maybe some of you are playing too (or planning to)? Let’s discuss!

The design really impressed me! The world is wild — in a good way. The landscapes are stunning: from deserts and jungles to volcanoes. The atmosphere pulls you in right away. The weather effects are incredibly well done — storms or sand veils can kick in during a hunt, adding a ton of immersion.

Combat feels even deeper and more refined. There are new mechanics, like a wound system that affects monster behavior — a very cool addition.

But yeah, there are some downsides. Performance... oof. Even with solid PC specs, I’ve experienced stuttering, FPS drops, and occasional crashes. From what I’ve seen on the forums, I’m definitely not alone. Some mechanics also seem a bit simplified — World veterans might feel a bit let down.

Reddit is buzzing: some are slamming the bugs, others are loving the lore and gameplay. Fingers crossed Capcom rolls out some patches soon.

Got the game free with a ROG Harpe mouse of all things. Never played a monster hunter game before, so should be interesting.
