Monster Hunter Wilds: A Majestic Hunt Marred by Technical Hiccups

Capcom's Monster Hunter Wilds emerges as a grand spectacle in the action RPG genre, offering players an expansive and immersive hunting experience. Set in the enigmatic Forbidden Lands, the game introduces a richly detailed ecosystem teeming with life, where every creature plays a role in the intricate web of survival.

Strengths:

Immersive Ecosystem: The game's world is a living, breathing entity. Monsters interact with each other in realistic ways, creating dynamic encounters that feel organic and unscripted.

Refined Combat Mechanics: Building upon its predecessors, Wilds offers a more streamlined combat system. The introduction of the Focus Mode allows players to target specific monster parts, adding a layer of strategy to hunts

Narrative Depth: Departing from the series' traditional approach, Wilds places a stronger emphasis on storytelling. Characters like Alma and Nata bring emotional weight to the narrative, making the journey more engaging.

Accessibility: The game introduces features aimed at newcomers, such as improved tutorials and a more intuitive UI, lowering the barrier to entry for those new to the series.

Areas for Improvement:

Technical Performance: Despite its visual ambitions, Wilds suffers from performance issues across platforms. Players have reported frame rate drops, texture pop-ins, and occasional crashes, detracting from the overall experience.

Visual Consistency: While the monster designs are impressive, the game's environments sometimes appear washed out, especially during certain weather conditions, leading to a less vibrant visual presentation

UI Complexity: The user interface, though improved, can still feel cluttered. Navigating through menus during intense hunts can be cumbersome, potentially disrupting the flow of gameplay.

Multiplayer Integration: Some players have encountered difficulties with the multiplayer system, citing challenges in forming parties and maintaining stable connections during co-op sessions.

Conclusion:

Monster Hunter Wilds stands as a testament to Capcom's commitment to evolving the franchise. Its rich world-building, enhanced combat mechanics, and deeper narrative elements mark significant strides forward. However, technical shortcomings and certain design choices prevent it from reaching its full potential. With future updates and optimizations, Wilds has the promise to solidify its place as a standout title in the series.

Rating: 8.5/10

"A brutal, beautiful journey through feudal Japan that rewards patience, skill, and perseverance."

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is not your typical FromSoftware game, even though it shares the studio's signature difficulty and atmospheric storytelling. Unlike the Soulsborne titles, Sekiro leans heavily into action and precise combat rather than RPG elements. There are no stats to grind—just your own skill to sharpen.

The swordplay is incredibly tight and satisfying. Every encounter feels like a deadly duel where posture, timing, and reflexes matter more than raw damage. Boss fights are intense and memorable, and the learning curve is steep but fair. Death is part of the process—each failure teaches something new.

The game world is stunningly crafted, with gorgeous, varied environments inspired by late 1500s Japan. The level design encourages exploration, and the verticality introduced by the grappling hook adds a fresh dynamic to movement and combat.

Narratively, Sekiro tells a more direct story than previous FromSoftware games, but still leaves room for interpretation and mystery. The voice acting and music are excellent, further immersing you in its unique world.

It’s not a game for everyone. The lack of difficulty options, limited character customization, and punishing learning curve can be off-putting. But for players looking for a challenging and rewarding experience, Sekiro stands as one of the finest action games of its generation.

The Binding of Isaac – a game that answers the question: 'What if Zelda had a baby with a B-horror movie, and their grandparent was RNG?
You cry, throw poop, die a thousand times... and come back for more. Every run is like a Kinder Surprise: you either get something awesome or end up in hell with your build.
10/10 – best tear therapy ever.
