How it was received
Monster Hunter Wilds holds a critic score of 87 out of 100. That places it above 88% of the 7,527 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2025 averaged 78, so it scored 9 points above the year average. Player ratings track closely with critics at 85, across 76 votes.
How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 24.8 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 60 hrs, roughly 2.4 times the length of the critical path. At its current cheapest price of $26.95, that works out to about $1.09 per hour of the main story, or $0.45 per hour if you finish everything.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel® Core™ i5-10400 or Intel® Core™ i3-12100 or AMD Ryzen™ 5 3600, 16 GB RAM and NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1660(VRAM 6GB) or AMD Radeon™ RX 5500 XT(VRAM 8GB). A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Install size is roughly 75GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
