What is the project about?

The storyline in *Monster Hunter Wilds* might not win any awards for originality, but let's be honest, that's not why we play MH games. The protagonist, now with the ability to speak, navigates through six in-game chapters filled with dialogues that sometimes feel like they were crafted by an AI. Yet, the real draw of this series remains the intense, thrilling battles with a plethora of unique monsters.
Your journey begins as either a male or female protagonist on an expedition to uncharted lands, sparked by the discovery of a child named Nata in the desert. Nata is the only survivor of a tribe decimated by a mysterious creature known as the "White Ghost." While the attempt to weave drama into the narrative might come off as absurd, especially with the locals baffled by your use of weapons, the story has evolved into a more structured and detailed experience. However, the game's linearity can feel restrictive by the tenth hour, turning the narrative into more of an obstacle than a driving force for some players.

Completing the campaign takes about 15–20 hours, and while the story might feel like a hurdle for those eager to dive into the hunting, the option to skip dialogues and cutscenes is a welcome feature. This simplification enhances the overall gaming experience.

The hunting mechanics have been streamlined in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Hitting a monster now results in visible wounds; by targeting these wounds correctly, you can deal significant damage and collect parts automatically—a change that's both convenient and well-received. Additionally, the introduction of rideable pets, like Seikret, adds a new layer of strategy. Seikret automatically navigates you to your hunting targets or any point on the map, and can even rescue you from dangerous situations, making the gameplay smoother and less frustrating.

Seikret's ability to take you directly to your destination eliminates the need for constant map-checking, and fast travel options make moving around the game world even more efficient.

Monsters in *Wilds* have evolved, utilizing the environment more tactically and sometimes forming packs, adding complexity to battles. However, you're never alone; you can summon help from other players or NPCs, making even the most challenging encounters manageable and enjoyable.
