What is the project about?

While the story in Monster Hunter Wilds might not be its strongest suit—often described as clichéd and uninteresting—the game shines in its gameplay. The protagonist, now capable of speech, navigates through six in-game chapters, though the dialogues may feel AI-generated at times. However, fans don't play Monster Hunter for the story; they're here for the intense, thrilling battles against unique monsters.

In Monster Hunter Wilds, you step into the shoes of a protagonist, customizable as either male or female, tasked with exploring uncharted lands as part of an expedition. The catalyst for this adventure is a child named Nata, found in a desert thought to be uninhabited. This discovery hints at the presence of a mysterious creature known as the "White Ghost," responsible for attacking Nata's tribe.

Despite attempts to weave drama into the narrative, the story remains somewhat absurd, especially with the locals' bafflement at the protagonist's use of weapons. The storyline has become more structured and detailed, yet it still falls short of being a compelling narrative-driven experience. The linearity of the story can feel restrictive by the tenth hour, making the campaign, which lasts about 15-20 hours, feel more like an obstacle for those eager to dive into the hunting aspect. Thankfully, most dialogues and cutscenes can be skipped, which is a welcome feature for those like me who prefer to focus on the action.

The hunting mechanics in Monster Hunter Wilds have been streamlined. Hitting monsters now visibly wounds them, and by targeting these wounds, you can deal significant damage and automatically collect monster parts. This simplification enhances the gameplay experience. Additionally, the introduction of rideable pets, like Seikret, further aids in navigation and combat, automatically rushing to targets or map points and even reviving you quickly if you're downed.

The convenience of Seikret's automatic navigation means less time spent checking the map, and fast travel options make reaching the camp effortless. In terms of combat, monsters in Wilds have evolved to use their environment strategically, and some can even form packs. However, the game ensures you're never alone, allowing you to call for backup from other players or NPCs, even in solo mode.

For those seeking an added challenge, the game supports mods, enhancing the already robust gameplay experience.

Monsters no longer display health bars, requiring players to interpret their movements and sounds to gauge damage. Your companion will vocalize the monster's condition, adding a new layer of interaction.
