    Wild Hearts is one of the best games of 2023. Sword fight combat action is very good. The story is also very good. The samurai army has invaded some army. It dealt with the war between the army and the wolves who retreated from such a powerful military invasion. The scale is very gigantic, just like Mononoke-hime.

    Monster Hunting fans are feasting! Wild Hearts is a beast, all the characters and monsters are spectacular, and the combat a total joy to play. We get a real winner here and there are even more free new contents to come.

    a game that has every reason to be great(er) and i like it but with its current state and price can be deem steep as it is 70 bucks and 90 to enjoy in its full package. paints a dire vision on the product and industry today. no game will be flawless in bugs. but playable and finished is far from priorities in todays standards by big publishers to meet service ends. the only reason i givea game that has every reason to be great(er) and i like it but with its current state and price can be deem steep as it is 70 bucks and 90 to enjoy in its full package. paints a dire vision on the product and industry today. no game will be flawless in bugs. but playable and finished is far from priorities in todays standards by big publishers to meet service ends. the only reason i give it an 8 its because under its flaws its a unique spin on the monster hunting genre. my only hope its that it gets more support and optimizations and gets a sequel. there's a lot of potential in it.

    years back i fell in love with a game called toukiden 2 the game had a unique ability that now mh rise borrows. its became evident to be a complemented franchise to MH. the developers created this new gem. breezy and sound textures of mechanical bamboo and gears creating a soundscape on its world. a game that is heavily inspired by ghibli's princess momonoke where a corruption takes over the creatures and its forests. like toukiden 2 the combo and gameplay is as calculated to keep you on air and traverse to attack critical points. you can climb the creatures to absorb and with the absorbed power unleashed amazing animated attacks. it suspends in its momentum. when mastered its a great sense of fun and action. you can also use devices to help you move, provide fire to your weapon and jump and even create barriers. lush environments and amazing monster designs to fight.

    i just wished it didnt crash my pc and tested my thermals. hope that gets fixed in the long run. i started this with ea play (also comes free with gamepass for the curious). which offers 10 hrs trial and some discounts (although not by much). when i had money to throw at it. i took the gamble. so try it first with ea play to get a taste of the game. its not for everyone. but mh and toukiden fans will be right at home.    … Expand

    Thoughts-
    WILD HEARTS is a great new entry in a genre that’s more or less dominated by a single franchise. Despite taking many ideas from its competition, WILD HEARTS manages to forge its own identity through a healthy mix of incredible creature designs, a fun story, gorgeous environments, fun weapons, and intricate construction abilities. Rather than coming off as a cheap knock off, WILD HEARTS instead feels like a revitalizing new release, offering some much-needed competition for the recent Monster Hunter games. A few issues that will likely see fixes through software updates aside, WILD HEARTS is an admirable fresh attempt at monster hunting.    … Expand

    와일드 하츠 올해 2월에 출시된 게임들 중 가장 AAA급 초우주갓겜임.
    검 타격감, 근접 타격감도 최고였고 조작감이나 근접전투도 매우 뛰어났음.
    엄청 강력하고 간지나고 검과 무기들과 갑옷들도 많고 그리고 죽음 사냥꾼 같은 간지나는 늑대형 적군들도 강함. 몬헌 라이즈 느낌이 강하면서도 원령공주(모노노케히메) 같은 전쟁 배경과 세계관이 간지남. 사무라이들의 침략전쟁으로 서식지를 잃은 케모노들과 사무라이 군대의 공격에 의해 퇴각한 이주민들간의 전쟁이라는 원령공주(모노노케히메) 느낌이 강한 그런 AAA급 초우주갓겜이었는데 게다가 뛰어난 근접 타격감과 백병전투는 세키로의 강력한 근접 타격감을 닮았었고. 근데 적군의 강함이 진짜 몬헌류를 초월해 소울류에 비견될 만큼 겁나게 강함 ㄷㄷ    와일드 하츠 올해 2월에 출시된 게임들 중 가장 AAA급 초우주갓겜임.

    It is a shame that more time and effort weren’t put into the monster variety and ensuring better performance at launch. With the ability to create traps and other constructs on the field of battle, Wild Hearts has created a new hunting experience that could certainly stand toe to toe with a more well-established series. Future patches and DLC could certainly iron some of these problems out, but as it stands upon release, Wild Hearts is difficult to recommend in its launch state to all but the most hard-core of hunters. With that said, the foundation laid out by this title is quite solid, and could certainly lead to greater things in the future.

    Wild Hearts is not flawless and you can see it was made on a budget, but it's a great starting point for a franchise. Most gameplay mechanics are good enough and some are even exceptional.

    There's potential in Wild Hearts. The building aspects alone add some depth to the exploration and combat aspects of the hunt, while the weapons feel right in a fight. There are many compelling reasons to give this a go: a drip feed of abilities, near-instant multiplayer with cross-play, and permanently affecting a player's instance. The sometimes-finicky building system can be an annoyance, while the lack of kemono variety is a knock, even if more beasts are promised later as free updates. The PC performance is what really drags down the game, and the lack of fixes combined with the game's high price tag are enough to hold off for now. On consoles, Wild Hearts is a fine counterpart to Capcom's offering, and it's worth checking out. PC players will want to wait and see if the game can make efficient use of the platform and hardware variety before jumping in.
