From disappointment to redemption: Monster Hunter Wilds is finally winning me over — and it’s 46% off right now
After months of updates, Capcom’s latest hunt is smoother, tougher, and more rewarding than ever.

Monster Hunter Wilds is the latest iteration of Capcom's storied Monster Hunter franchise, selling over 10 million copies and wowing audiences with its imaginative setting, over-the-top combat, and fantastical creatures to hunt.
This next-gen entry in the series typically has a high fetching price of $69.99. However, Amazon has slashed that MSRP almost in half with a 46% discount, so it's now $37.99.
"Monster Hunter Wilds has an incredible foundation for Capcom to build another special entry in this storied franchise. However, poor balance undermines many of the game's core concepts." — Jez Corden

Why is now the right time to get into Monster Hunter Wilds?
Monster Hunter Wilds has had a 'wild' lifecycle to say the least.
Despite its shiny next-gen graphics, fun and in-depth combat system, and awesome new monsters, this game has caused some controversy amongst fans of the series, especially when it first launched.
It was plagued with performance issues (even more so on PC), it had no substantial endgame content to indulge in, and the streamlined systems combined with a lackluster main campaign robbed the game of the challenging yet satisfying difficulty curve that past Monster Hunter titles were beloved for.
I myself have voiced displeasure at Monster Hunter Wilds' flaws ever since it came out.
Thankfully, Capcom has been taking the fans' complaints to heart and has been working to address these issues through various free updates over the last few months.
These updates have made tons of balance changes, added higher-tier Tempered monsters for players seeking challenging hunts, new quests with fun cosmetics, and introduced insanely tough monsters like Mizustune, Seregios, Lagiacrus, and Omega.
As a result, the game's lack of endgame content and difficulty issues have now been thoroughly fixed, and will be getting the long-requested performance improvements in the game's 4th title update in December 2025.
If you've been on the fence on Monster Hunter Wilds and have been waiting for its rocky launch problems to get patched, then now's the perfect time to join the hunt, especially now that it's on sale for $37.99 on Amazon.
