    Too many performance issues but a fun gameplay loop nonetheless. Worth catching on sale for $30.

    The monsters unfortunately are not very inspired, some make a good impact at the beginning but after you face them twice they already become boring, some have more than one similar attack between them and while you fight them they often tend to interpenetrate, they make you fight monsters huge in places that are not suitable for them in terms of size and therefore most of the time you endThe monsters unfortunately are not very inspired, some make a good impact at the beginning but after you face them twice they already become boring, some have more than one similar attack between them and while you fight them they often tend to interpenetrate, they make you fight monsters huge in places that are not suitable for them in terms of size and therefore most of the time you end up penetrating inside the monster without understanding what is happening around you and then being hit by attacks that will surely take you because as mentioned before you do not see, last thing about the monsters, you don't have a huge variety. The weapons are interesting but very cumbersome on certain aspects, they are unsatisfactory on impact with the monster, some weapons are nothing more than copy paste of some already present in mh and with an attempt to change something of the moveset (such as the bow or the cannon), the graphic style is very generic and it doesn't really seem to be in the nextgen since this game is, technically it is unwatchable on PC because on certain occasions the framerate remains ok in other cases, especially in the middle of the hunt and this what is quite annoying for the experience that the game wants to give, an interesting thing is the karakuri or the constructions that if you are creative you could create some fun fighting style. In conclusion it is a game that I advise you to buy discounted if you feel like it because the modest sum of 80 euros is a big no especially for the quality of the product which is neither top nor bad but mediocre, my advice do it and give it a try… Expand

    Maybe this review is not fair because of the comparison to monster hunter. A game that has been improved over the years to reach the stage it is in now in terms of gameplay and mechanics. The graphics are somewhat worst than monster hunter rise. Wild heart is ok at best. The monsters are not that great in terms of design and the fights feel boring. There is a lot of running and repetition.Maybe this review is not fair because of the comparison to monster hunter.

Not to mention the low monster pool.… Expand

    Should have been delayed.

    It had the potetional to be amazing but for everything it does right it does two things wrong. Fast paced, visually stunning combat contrasts with input lag and inconsistent hit boxes equals that fast paced combat feeling broken once you start dealing with enemies that can 1 shot you. I completed it but by the end I was just so over this game and more then    Should have been delayed.

    After about 27 hours, I can easily say that I regret buying this game. It’s just a massive time sink with little to no reward. Find monster. Attack attack attack. Chase monster. Attack. Chase monster. Attack and kill. Not get any items that make better armor or weapons. Repeat. It’s angered and annoyed me far more than given me a fun experience.

    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"    很遗憾，我没法给这款游戏一个相对好看的分数。

    ，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

    Ich mag Spiele mit einem Grafikstil wie diesem wirklich gerne, aber WILD HEARTS ist sehr schlecht optimiert. Ich habe mich sehr darauf gefreut, als das Spiel veröffentlicht wurde, konnte es aber nicht vollständig erleben.

    The hunter game is challenging but at the same time forgiving for beginners, beautiful design, good graphics, the game offers many types of weapons to choose from, and fun gameplay,
    But the game is a bit repetitive.

    After spending most of the last year on Sunbreak which I loved across platforms, Omega Force and EA's Wild Hearts is a perfect complement for Monster Hunter fans looking to play another great game in the genre. While it is unfortunately held back by technical issues, Wild Hearts does a lot that takes the genre forward, and I can't wait to keep playing the postgame through the coming months while we hopefully get more updates.

    Wild Hearts is a decent proposal for the hunting genre and especially for those that seek something more accessible. At the same time the karakuri (construction) mechanism is a good and quite clever addition to the genre.

    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.
