While the story in Monster Hunter Wilds may be clichéd and uninteresting, it's not the main draw for players. The protagonist, who can now speak, navigates through a narrative that feels AI-generated across six in-game chapters. However, the real allure lies in the intense, thrilling battles with a variety of unique monsters.

In the game, you play as a hunter exploring uncharted lands as part of an expedition triggered by the discovery of a child named Nata in the desert. Nata is the sole survivor of a tribe attacked by a mysterious creature known as the "White Ghost." The attempt to weave drama into the narrative adds a touch of absurdity, especially given the locals' surprise at the use of weapons by the protagonist.

The story in Wilds is more structured and detailed than its predecessors, yet it remains secondary to the gameplay. The game often limits player freedom, adhering to a strict script that can feel exhausting by the tenth hour. Completing the campaign takes about 15-20 hours, and while the story might feel like an obstacle, most dialogues and cutscenes can be skipped, which is a significant plus for those eager to dive into the hunting action.

Hunting in Wilds has been simplified. When you hit a monster, visible wounds appear on its body. By targeting these wounds, you can deal massive damage and collect parts automatically, a convenient feature that enhances the gameplay experience. The introduction of rideable pets, like Seikret, further simplifies the game by automatically navigating to your hunting target or any point on the map. If knocked down, Seikret can quickly pick you up, saving you from lengthy recovery animations and potential devastating blows.

Seikret's ability to automatically take you to your destination eliminates the need to constantly check the map, making navigation smoother. Fast travel to camps is also available, enhancing the overall experience.

In Wilds, monsters don't have visible health bars; instead, you must interpret their movements, animations, and sounds to gauge their condition. Your companion will announce the monster's state, adding a new layer to the hunting experience. Monsters now use the environment more strategically, and some can form packs, requiring you to fight multiple enemies at once. However, you can call for backup from other players or NPCs, making these encounters more manageable and enjoyable.
