Let's talk about one of my favorite games on Steam, Monster Hunter Wilds.
I know it's kinda strange to review a game that is 70$, since pretty much nobody can play it, but I really want to share my thoughts on it, since I think it's awesome.
Also, this is my first review on Steam, so please let me know what you think.

Let's talk about the graphics first.
Usually, monster hunting games consist of unrealistic graphics.
All of these games look almost the same, with very minor differences, that you can barely tell them apart from each other.
Monster Hunter Wilds however, went for a very realistic artsytle, making it stand out from the crowd.
The graphics are also over the top, with tons of visual effects, blood and particles flying all over the area, but at the same time it feels lighthearted because of the artsyle, adding to the humor of the game.
To sum it up, the graphics are very unique and add to the charm of the game.

Next let's talk about the most important part of the game, the gameplay.
For anyone who is a fan of singleplayer only games, you might be disappointed, since the game is meant to be played online (there is an option that lets you summon npcs but they obviously feel very artificial).
There's also a story, well sort of. All of the story of the game is told through Nata.
So yeah, this game is meant for multiplayer, but that's not a bad thing at all.
I am a person that usually tends to dislike monster hunting games where the focus of the game is multiplayer like Dauntless, since it doesn't require too much skill in my opinion, only fast reactions which causes tons of rage.
Monster Hunter Wilds however , is different in that regard too.
This game requires a TON of skill, and because of that it might be offputting for new players, but if you stick for a while, you will see how satisfying pulling off an awesome trick is.
Also, unlike many monster hunting games where you can pretty much do everything on your own , in Monster Hunter Wilds you HAVE to work as a team, after all, It's called Monster Hunter, not Monster.
Trying to fight three monsters, or more at a time WILL NOT work for you AT ALL.
Instead, you have to rely on your team, which also adds to the strategy of the game.
Believe me, there's a lot of strategy in this game, a lot more than you might think, one of those being the weapons which I will talk about right now.
The weapons are one of the things that really make this game unique.
There are fourteen weapons, each having their own stats and playstyle.
The thing is, they are very well balanced.
Each of the weapons completely change the way that you play the game, so if you get bored of playing a certain weapon, no problem, because you can change into another weapon at any given time.
I'm not going to talk about each one, but believe me, the things that each of the weapons does well, they do the best, but each also has their lowpoints, which is why the weapons are very well balanced.
There are also many monsters, adding even more to the variety of the game.
Monster Hunter Wilds is one of the most complete games I have ever played.
So what do get to do when you are done with everything?
Fashion hunt.
Seriously, fashion hunt.
Do they add you some sort of an extraordinary power that makes you completly overpowered, making it that no monster can beat you?
No, just layered armor and other cosmetics that don't change a darn thing, other than making you look fancy.
For most of the community, fasion hunting is some the most important things in Monster Hunter Wilds, leading to tons of picture trades and paying actual money in order to become the fanciest of them all.
I personally don't really care for the fashion hunting, only about the gameplay, but many players enjoy that, so if fashion's your thing, go ahead.
Other than what I've said, what else you can farm in the game?
Weapons.
The weapons however, can be crafted by each player and a lot of these completely change your playstyle, adding even more to the variety.
I really like the weapons system in the game, mostly because a lot of the times, you don't put yourself in an advantage for using specific ones, heck, sometimes it's even best to only stick to one type of weapon.
So why use different ones?
Simply because they are fun.
They are also very well balanced (well, most of them...), so again, you don't put yourself too much in an advantage for using them.
So, basically you really don't need to become a hardcore player in order to enjoy the game.
The thing is, becoming a dedicated player is as cheap as you want it to be.
You decide how much you want to play in order to become a dedicated player, and that's pretty cool.
Another thing, the game keeps being updated, despite being 3 months old, making it feel fresh.

Next, I'll talk in a brief about the game's charm.
I've already talked about the graphics, but what other things make the game charming?
Well, the characters.
They all have their own personality and in game quotes.
Some of the quotes are really funny, and the characters' personalities really shine in that regard.
Also, Monster Hunter Wilds has some of the most clever advertising I have ever seen:the trailer videos, where the characters' personalities shine even more.
I really recommend you watching them since they are awesome.

So these are all the positives, are there any negatives?
Yes there are.
First, there are many bugs and glitches, but that to be expected from a big game as this.
And third... THE RANDOM CRITICAL HITS!!! I HATE THEM!!!
Two other negatives that I have aren't really Capcom's fault but I will say them anyways.
First, the community can be extremly annoying at times.
How? By making fun of new players.
They think that just because they are new, it makes them bad at the game.
That logic annoys me, since I've seen new players that are better than some that just like to brag about their hours, but if that does happen to you, just ignore them and enjoy the game.
Second, is that because the game has been out for quite a while, there are many skilled players here, which can really frustrate newcomers, but as I've said before, stick for a while, and it will get much better.

In conclusion, I think Monster Hunter Wilds is a fantastic game, possibly the best 70$ games I've ever played.
If you haven't already, please play it, it's 70$, so you have nothing to lose.

For those asking for a score, I'll give it somewhere between 9 and 9.5 out of ten.
The reason for that score is that I think no game is perfect, but there many great games out there and this is one of them.

Highly recommended for everyone, even for those who dislike the genre, like me.

My review used to be positive, I used to absolutely love this game and while I still do, I seriously cannot recommend this game to anyone at its current state as it's very much unplayable because of all the bots infesting the game. I might change this review if this issue ever gets fixed but until then.. Don't play tf2
