- Monster Hunter Wilds currently has overwhelmingly negative reviews on Steam.
- The game managed to break all Capcom sales records despite poor optimizations.
- It is now among the most successful, worst-rated titles of all time.
Monster Hunter Wilds released on February 27th to over 1 million concurrent players on Steam. It broke all previous Capcom sales records, registering 10 million copies sold in one month. However, it had some serious issues despite the enormous financial success.
Almost five months since its release, Monster Hunter World still holds multiple sales records, but unfortunately, its recent Steam reviews have fallen to ‘Overwhelmingly Negative’ with all-time reviews at ‘Mixed’.
Why it matters: The current state of the title makes it one of the most successful, worst-rated titles of all time. Despite months since launch, Capcom has yet to get rid of a lot of the reported issues.
So, overall, with the gameplay, visuals, and combat, everything has been done really well, but jumping into the game and playing it is where the issues start. Monster Hunter Wilds is among the worst-optimized games on PC.
You can hardly appreciate all the effort put into the world-building because, at times, you can’t even play the game. It is known for random crashes, bad performance of high-end hardware, and subpar graphics with mid-range GPUs.
But within the heart of it all is a fantastic title that is worth every penny. Therefore, even with its issues, it still averages 50K players, and until the last few months was easily crossing 100K concurrent players.
However, all this is rather unfortunate, considering that when you pay so much for a game, you expect a finished and polished experience. It performs better on consoles, but for PC, the optimization is a mess, and Capcom should look into it.
