Seikret longing

There are no wilds inMonster Hunter Wilds.

Instead, beautiful dioramas.

The fauna are as ferociously believable as ever, but the flora are plastic aquarium plants.

That thing about bums just now, wrote I.

For all their fidelity and art direction, these biomes are laminated.

So, Monster Hunter Wilds has no wilds.

But wait, who’s this?!

Henry has come to see us!

When I say fight for every inch, that starts with your armour and weapon.

You get one knife and one set of pyjamas.

The blood parasites gradually consume you from the inside until you find the correct herbs to make a poultice.

The thunderstorms make you blind.

Also, no home base.

If you want somewhere to relax, you’re tauntaun-ing your way into a Ajarakan’s intestines.

To get the honey, you should probably fight bees.

To recognise signs of pollination, you have to spend days studying botany books.

You have to steal the books from the Wudwuds, who also have guns now.

Alright, that’s enough of that.

Maybe start with some kind of tracking at least?

As it stands, I feel like I’m exploring the prettiest lobby in gaming.
