GamesRadar (9/10) praises Monster Hunter: Wilds as a stunning action RPG, highlighting the game's exceptional feel, arguably the best in the series. While acknowledging some recurring minor issues and unnecessary features, the reviewer expresses optimism that these will be addressed in future updates.  Overall, the experience is considered unparalleled, promising hundreds of hours of gameplay and positioning Wilds as a potential Game of the Year contender.

Gamespot (8/10) avoids specific monster spoilers but emphasizes Capcom's boundless creativity in monster design, a consistent strength of the Monster Hunter franchise. Whether playing solo or cooperatively, the game excels at propelling players through intense combat scenarios, offering what other games might reserve for meticulously crafted boss battles.  While some performance issues, bland environments, and a superfluous story are noted, few games can match the captivating nature of facing Wilds' formidable creatures.  The review suggests that Wilds focuses on refining these core strengths, as that's all it truly needs to excel.
