What will be discussed in the talk? Our chief monster hunter Leya Jankowski talks in the GameStar Talk (via Youtube) with host Felix Rick and video team member Paul Aelis.

The talk will address some new features of Monster Hunter Wilds. These include regions that invite not only for monster hunting but also for relaxing.

The difficulty level of Monster Hunter Wilds is a controversial topic
What are players worried about in advance? Through several beta phases, interested players have already had a chance to check out Monster Hunter Wilds before its release. Due to the focus on accessibility, long-time players fear that the new installment might become too easy.
However, the developers have already addressed this: Many players dropped out early in the predecessor. The team aims to keep the number of players dropping out early as low as possible.
This is to ensure an optimal learning curve for newcomers so they can be on the same level as veterans. The monsters themselves are not supposed to be weaker than in Monster Hunter World.
What are the current ratings? Monster Hunter Wilds is getting particularly good reviews from the press. Currently, the game is hovering around a rating of 90 based on 75 reviews. The world is particularly highlighted for its lively feel due to dynamic weather effects and interacting monsters.
In contrast, the opaque user interface has come under criticism. Paul Aelis also reveals that he has been looking for a menu option for 2 days but has not yet found it.
