Editor’s Note: Monster Hunter Wilds currently has a “Mixed” rating on Steam, with many of the negative reviews warning players of performance issues:
- Fix the performance issues. No excuse for this unfinished mess on release, especially if your charging $70 for it. My machine is 4 times what a PS5 is and a PS5 at least runs it consistently.
- This game has the worst menus to use. Trying to play this game with friends is harder than killing monsters probably the hardest part of the game.
- I have just submitted a refund request for Wilds, as even on fully LOW settings with DLSS performance mode my 3070/Ryzen 7 7800x3D/32gb 6000mhz build is not enough to reach a stable 60 fps in what is genuinely the WORST looking game I have played in recent memory.
- crashes on startup, you have to be a software engineer to play this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game. Devs, fix the game plz
