    Perhaps my biggest takeaway from Wild Hearts is that I didn’t once find myself lamenting for Monster Hunter. Wild Hearts was perhaps a risky endeavour, but it’s one that’s paid off with impressive results. While genre newcomers can treat the land of Azuma as a gateway to monster hunting, long-standing genre fans will find plenty here to keep them happy until the next Monster Hunter adventure arrives.

    Wild Hearts is packed with creative mechanics and delightful flourishes that make it a welcome and exciting addition to the monster hunting genre.

    Wild Hearts improves on all existing aspects of it's main competitor, Monster Hunter. The game adds a touch of originality with surprising and functional mechanics. Fun and challenging, the game is a visual spectacle that excites and also delivers unique rewards for the players.

    From the story and the karakuri to the kemono monsters themselves, Wild Hearts has some world-class mechanics and writing behind it. It falters in a few important places as well, especially regarding performance, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth your time and money. If you love taking down fantastical beasts of every shape and size, this time in a world inspired by feudal Japan, there’s no substitute.

    While the premise remains the same throughout, the battles each offer unique enough enemies to ensure your tactics have to change per fight and progress is a must to move on. Well worth a look if you’re into lengthy epic boss battles.

    Wild Hearts have dismantled the beast, and retrofit its parts into something more accessible and highly addictive in its own right. Obnoxious exposition and an uninspired narrative can sometimes get in the way of its well crafted gameplay loop, but the thrill of the hunt is more than worth it.

    For every success, Wild Hearts makes several mistakes. There's a great concept behind all this, but the design problems, the poor balance and the technical errors make this title fall far short of what it was meant to be.

    With performance and HDR now fixed on ps5 the game is freaking wicked fun. Content is seriously lacking however and youll get about 50-60With performance and HDR now fixed on ps5 the game is freaking wicked fun. Content is seriously lacking however and youll get about 50-60 hours out of this game. More if you chase un-needed things like accessories and cosmetics. As for main OP weapons and gear and story though, 50/60 hours. There is NO legit endgame currently either. So for now an 8 rating is justified. Wont be a 10 until it gets an endgame and expansion. Game is really short compared to others in the game genre… Expand

    很遗憾，我没法给这款游戏一个相对好看的分数。
    首先说说优点:
    1.动作系统很扎实，我的武器是一把伞，熟悉怪物的动作，进而把握战斗节奏的感觉真的很让人愉快，我几乎把它当成怪物猎人版本的艾尔登法环在玩    很遗憾，我没法给这款游戏一个相对好看的分数。
    首先说说优点:
    1.动作系统很扎实，我的武器是一把伞，熟悉怪物的动作，进而把握战斗节奏的感觉真的很让人愉快，我几乎把它当成怪物猎人版本的艾尔登法环在玩
    2.场景和怪物设计非常精美。樱花，河流，屋宅，每个场景都恰到好处，透露出来浓厚的文化气息，每个怪物你几乎都可以在现实中找到其原型，只不过它们变得更加"贴近自然"了。

    即使有以上优点，在几十个小时的游玩过程中我还是不止一次的没法控制我的怒气
    1.场景穿模太严重了，想象一下，你被怪物打飞，掉进了一处灌木丛中，你的眼前都是灌木丛的模型，你什么也看不见了!你从里面爬出来，视野再次变得开阔，但是怪物的下一次攻击已经近在咫尺了!结果又是一次击飞--或者死亡
    2.怪物的ai很笨，我感觉我和怪物之间没有"沟通"
    ，我们都只是在做自己份内的事情，它发怒，放出一个大范围技能，我就跑。技能放完了，我就冲进去继续攻击，说实话有些无聊。
    3.画质真的太差了，我很难想象这是2023年的游戏，制作组的技术真的限制了这个游戏的发展，灾难性的画面技术使我必须忍受1080p60的游戏分辨率(别忘了，这可是2023年登陆ps5,XSX,PC的游戏）    … Expand
