What is this game about besides hunting?

[speedY [ Я v Ь ]]

I know the main thing is hunting monsters but I never played a Monster Hunter game, and before I buy it I wanna know if it's a game for me. So do you just kill monsters and that's it? What's the purpose of hunting/kill them?
Can you do more stuff besides this like quests, open-world things etc? And is it even worth playing it alone?

Thank for serious answers!

the fundamental loop is hunt monster->get loot->to craft more gear->to hunt monster.

if you do not like gameplay for the sake of gameplay, it may not be for you.

the only other thing to do is collect materials for items, functionally

this game is good both single player and multiplayer

Have you ever enjoyed a good boss fight that you reload it over and over because it feels so good to beat? If you know that feeling, Monster Hunter is for you. Most games let you go through stages to reach a boss. This game, you ONLY have boss fights. Beat a weaker boss to craft better than basic gear. Use that gear to beat a bigger boss. Craft even better gear. Beat an even bigger boss.

There are side quests like a bit of exploration, a bit of fishing, a bit of search for rare animals.

But is it challenging to fight monsters? I like to grind gear, some hard fights who give you a satisfying feeling after you beat them

Sounds good to me

Yes. Bosses are no joke in most Monster Hunter games. You cannot trade hits with them or you'll die. The goal is to survive first, attack later. Difficulty will escalate.

depends entirely upon your skill level, some people find it easy some dont, it is ultimately an action game faterall.

Hunting + fashion

Nothing else.
Unless you like to do screenshots or catch small critters as well.

I like to collect endemic life, fish, and do the weird activities because they're kind of charming in their goofy way.
I miss egg delivery quests and hunting for canteen ingredients (I mean technically you still can, but it doesn't hit the same).

I hope they bring photography quests back, there's some pretty awesome stuff I've found already that would be extremely hard to encounter naturally unless you are taking in the scenery very slowly like I do.

The core of Monster Hunter games is gear progression. Every monster is like a boss fight, and as you get better gear and learn your weapon the fights become much shorter. In addition to the large monster hunting there is other activities like fishing, mining, catching bugs, gathering plants, etc.. This is by far the easiest Monster Hunter game to get into if you've never played one. Make sure your pc can handle it before you buy it though.

Monster Hunter Wilds come with an amazing world, allowing you to immerse into a never seen before realistic nature environment in addition to the boss fights, making it overall also a treat for explorers.
