Early reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Monster Hunter Wilds boasts an impressive 89/100 Metacritic score (based on 54 PS5 reviews), with critics praising Capcom's latest addition to the celebrated action-RPG franchise. The game retains its signature challenging gameplay, now within a vibrant, immersive open world. An improved UI ensures accessibility for newcomers without sacrificing depth.

Epic monster hunts remain a core feature, enhanced by stunning graphics and innovative additions like dual weapon slots and a focus mode. However, some reviewers note the combat might feel repetitive after extended play, and the skill system, tied exclusively to weapons (offensive) and armor/accessories (defensive), is a point of contention. Despite these minor criticisms, Monster Hunter Wilds promises an unforgettable experience for veterans and newcomers alike.
