Wild Hearts

Our analysis

Wild Hearts brings inventive building mechanics to monster hunting, making combat faster and more strategic. Severe performance problems undermine those strengths, so wait for fixes before buying.

Our analysis

A fresh Monster Hunter-like with a unique Karakuri contraption system, gorgeous biomes, and fantastic boss fights, though limited monster variety holds it back.

Our analysis

A solid hunting game with a creative Karakuri building system and fun monsters, though hindered by multiplayer performance issues.

Our analysis

Hell of a game — huge monster hunts with impressive traversal and building mechanics. But technical issues are serious: looks like a Switch game in places despite being current-gen. Hoping patches address issues.

Our analysis

Fun gameplay with excellent building mechanics that separate it from Monster Hunter. Good entry point for newcomers. However, wait for a sale; $70 is too expensive. Worth $40-50 range.

Our analysis

Engaging hunting game with unique caraku building system and fresh monster roster that becomes addictive after initial rough patch. Significant technical issues, janky design, and map visibility problems detract from solid core gameplay and customization options.

Our analysis

Innovative karakuri crafting elevates combat and co-op; persistent technical performance issues prevent must-play status.
