wild heats did more goods than bads in the genre, compared to MH series, i'll list it all

0 -! PC Port !- great port, awful optimization

it's a great port bug-free / PC feature wise , but when it comes to cpu usage, it can eat as much resources as CPU heavy AAA games, if you're good cpu wise, both in terms of performance and cooling, it can run at stable 60fps with no stutters

1 -! World !- i love this version of Death Stranding
+you can build structures on all maps, something like death stranding, with ziplines, launchers, traps, more than 50 structures

+on joining a multiplayer game you jump into host's world and get inspired with how good they shaped their map

+the map is not made of small placed connected with narrow ways, or a maze, it's big, less maze-ish
it's so big they gave you the ability to create bikes and some flying mechanisms

+you can build mini factories to do your daily work like gathering food and ore

2 -! Weapons and Armors !- wish it was better

+the weapon classes don't cover all types of gameplay, the weapon classes i played so far are so refined i would play hundred of hours for it alone

there's a weapon class with 100% copy of attack on titan gameplay, and it's so refined you'll love it
there's also a weapon class that keeps changing to different weapon classes during battle

+ the crafting tree for weapons are all connected, if you have the materials, you can change your route to any possibility, and pick your favorite inheritable skills along the way, you even have the option to evolve back if desired, also there's 100% material refund

- the armor crafting section is worst part of Wild Hearts, the skills on sets are clearly not as good as MH series, not even half as good as MH series, there's some good new mechanism in armor crafting such as ( human / kemono ) variant of a set, like being good or evil, some skills might need you to be on one of sides
- the variants most times don't cover all armor parts

- the ENDGAME monsters are basically farming for "increasing upgrade cap" and " layered armor "

3 -! Gameplay !- the hunters can and should be as wild as the monsters

from the get go you gain magic ability to create stuff instantly on the battlefield
and the possibilities increase the more you play, they're so unique and game changing, BUT NOT FORCED ( like the Clutch Claw in MHW )

from basics like jumping box platforms or lunching platforms ( which has HUGE invulnerable frames even before upgrades )
to more advanced forms created from attaching basic ones together to make, harpoons, automated crossbows, giant hammer, giant laser cannon, walls and healing mists and way more

and they have unique uses based on your weapon
like if you're a hand cannon user, you can use a lantern to fly ( yes lanterns make you fly in this game ), and guess what, YOU CAN FLY AND SHOOT AT SAME TIME, WITH A HAND CANNON, LIKE A HELICOPTER WITH MISSILES

4 -! Monsters !- insert "You Can't See Me" meme here

the monsters are faster / wilder than MHR ( which is already way faster than MHW )
the monster attack chains are not as much as MH series, but in meantime your window to attack is much less
for your first hours you can hardly see the indicates that monster's about to hit ya, and they're less fatigue-y than MH
the fight actually goes harder the closer they are to death, the hunter need to be as wild as possible to survive this game

the variety of monsters are like 1/3 of MH series base game
and the game uses as much as recolor versions as MHR ( shame on both of you )
overall it's short on monsters

the designs are,
PIG, BUT BIG, AND UGLY
RAT, BUT BIG, AND UGLY
and sonic the hedgehog after unlocking the gold suit

5 -!ENDGMAE!-

i just reached it, and did beat a deeply volatile kemono, Which is hardest variant ( recolored to jet black ) of the game and it didn't unlock any new armor set, what i got was materials to craft layered armor, and materials to increase the defense of my existing armor sets, or use it to tamper a random skill to my weapon

6 -!CAPCOM, learn from this game!-

the character creation is the most detailed one i seen in video games ( except MMO genre but still close to that )
and you can re-edit your character for free, even down to gender and name ( you unlock mirror later in the game )
( yes i'm looking at you, edit vouchers of MH series )

+ Crossplay, between PC/XBOX/PS = i had more luck finding matches on Wild Hearts than MHR
( MHR has a bad matchmaking compared to MHW, a total downgrade )


+ Accessories, there's 5 slots dedicated for Accessories, ribbons, masks, hand and chest accessories,
CAPCOM WE NEED THIS

i'll add more the more i remember/experience
i also recommend reading this review
