The hunt never stops, yet the engine stumbles. Over a quarter-million players have already poured more than 25 hours into the world, but stutters and crashes keep interrupting the thrill.
What it's about: Arpentez des environnements qui se transforment radicalement d'un moment à l'autre sous l'effet de la force indomptable d'une nature sans cesse déchaînée. Plongez dans une histoire de monstres et d'humains luttant pour vivre en harmonie dans un monde de dualités.

Who is it for?
Fans of deep action-RPG combat and monster-hunting who can tolerate—or help patch—performance hiccups and don’t expect a heavy narrative.
Is Monster Hunter Wilds worth it in 2026?
Yes, but with a few reservations: 49% of 324,916 Steam reviews are positive (player score 65/100). Most-praised strength: Combat and exploration drive the fun. Current price: 29,39€ (58% off).
Verdict
A visceral, visually rich monster hunter with a flawed but engaging core loop. Those who stick with it beyond the opening hours find a world worth mastering, but technical woes and a thin story may deter others.
