    Game is addictive and fun af. Great introduction into the genre. EA being involved made me skeptical, but they honestly delivered a GREAT game.

    This is it, the best Xbox Series game I've ever played. The game just screams high quality fun and inspiring characters and monsters. This is a world I would love to visit and stay for a loooong time.

    Some of the best fun I've ever had in a both solo and co-op game. Very well done and impressively refreshing game! After 50 hrs I'm still not done and keep finding new things to do, just wow.

    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.

    Performance in the beginning wasnt good. But since version 1.05 the game is running smooth 95% of the time. As a massive monster hunter fan this game is a breath of fresh air. Everything except for the graphics are really good. Well except for one more thing. The end game. After the story theres nothing to do really. Or more like nothing to do that is actually worth doing. No augmentationsPerformance in the beginning wasnt good. But since version 1.05 the game is running smooth 95% of the time. As a massive monster hunter fan this game is a breath of fresh air. Everything except for the graphics are really good. Well except for one more thing. The end game. After the story theres nothing to do really. Or more like nothing to do that is actually worth doing. No augmentations for example and the Talisman grind is just way too unrewarding just as much as the grind for an outfit that u wanna wear. Kemonos dont have a guaranteed drop so its artificially taking way too long to get the cosmetic stuff.

    Yet the gameplay is so good that i can see why people still do it. If you like monster hunter this is a must play    … Expand

    Ich liebe Monster Hunter und dachte dies sei eine bllige Kopie. Aber abgesehn von kampfsystem ist alles was neues neue creaturen mit anderen attacken, das Craften ist nicht annähtend so hart wie bdi MH. Es macht mega spaß eig wäre eine 8 verdiemter da die Kamera ab und zu spackt und story mäßig ist hatte trzd spaß meines lebens

    모노노케히메 같은 간지가 느껴지는 전투갓겜. 초강추. 근접 타격감 좋고 정복전쟁도 재밌음.

    I used to have this game, Wild Hearts Digital Edition on Xbox, until Xbox banned my whole gamertag 15+ year old account with over $10k in digital games, movies, tv series, dlc all for something I posted in a GAME REVIEW yet they cant quote me as to what exactly I said and respond to my BBB complaint with "we have no obligation to provide evidence" when I violate their fragile "TOS". TheI used to have this game, Wild Hearts Digital Edition on Xbox, until Xbox banned my whole gamertag 15+ year old account with over $10k in digital games, movies, tv series, dlc all for something I posted in a GAME REVIEW yet they cant quote me as to what exactly I said and respond to my BBB complaint with "we have no obligation to provide evidence" when I violate their fragile "TOS". The multi-billion dollar business has no obligation to provide valid evidence for something so permanent as a PERMAMENT SUSPENSION FROM ACCESSING ANY OF YOUR PAID FOR CONTENT ON THEIR SYSTEM?!?! The thing is...you CANT leave any real hateful comments and cuss words in reviews or XBOX doesn't even even save them, just blanks it out like you didn't type anything at all. Also I would've never said anything that warrants this kind of permament suspension, at worst I was talking crap on EAs Sims 4 predatory gaming practices of cutting a main game up and selling it to you in 20-$40 "game & expansion packs". So the suspension is complete BS, groups of circle jerks can get together and report something you typed as offensive and it auto-bans you and some lame gamer on a power-trip volunteering for their "ambassador" program (more circle jerks with fragile egos) reviews the ban and appeal. Boycott Xbox, they don't deserve your money with their "woke" parenting of even the lamest of things like GAME REVIEWS. I literally cant even sign into my account to access offline content, its ALL GONE thanks to an Abusive system MS lets auto-handle, the first miss steps of "AI". Buyers BEWARE.… Expand

    So, may nice idea, even plot and ICO visual style have first brick in the wall, but it can't save this game from suffering by bad frame-rate, (sometimes below 15-20) clunky controls and blocks collisions and strange controls and triggers.
    So, the game is flat, there's almost no texture, but its wonderfully slow down, even on not so mass action scenes... WTF?!

    KOEI, EA, did u know - OPTIMIZATION word in dev books we learnin at first courses?!
    Looks, not
    So, sadly. Maybe a nice game, but another epic fail of the EA "speedshooting" politics....
    We want final, finished, polished games, not "Alpha" builds.
    Sorry. but it shouldn't to be like that    … Expand

    This clone of Monster Hunter doesn't even come close. Feels like a watered down version of Monster Hunter World. Games like these require you to invest a lot time into it. Why would I waste my time with this crap when I can play the real thing. It's not worth the £70 price tag. I wouldn't even give £40 for it. Give it a year and it will be on Ps Plus.

    One more for the list of disappointment of the year, it is nothing but a cheap copy of Monster Hunter, will never reach the level of it, poorly optimized, rotten graphics, looks like a ps2 game. Good thing that on Xbox the score is 1.8, it could be less because this game is a real disaster. I'll never spend money on it!!!

    Wild Hearts has inherited just enough from Monster Hunter to keep us on the hook - and when it does sporadically come together, it feels like a worthy rival. [Issue#383, p.106]

    Minor camera issues aside, Wild Hearts is a stunning action RPG that offers more than enough of a base to build a franchise on top of. Its fantastic creature design and lush landscapes make every hunt feel fresh, and its Karakuri system allows each biome to feel more personal with each trip.

    Wild Hearts is another great monster-hunting title that suffers the most from comparisons to the well-established Monster Hunter series. The developers have promised that DLC is on the way in the coming months with more kemono and karakuri, and it’s all going to be free with no paid updates in the plans (not yet, at least), so there’ll be more to bring you back to Azuma. Even after finishing the main game, there’s plenty left over in the endgame to challenge hunters hungry for more. It’s an impressive effort, with a world that continually beckons hunters to return. Gear up, for the hunt is on.
