I'll never be one to bemoan my privilege to play much-anticipated games early, yet getting just an hour to go hands-on with Monster Hunter Wilds is as agonizing as it is delightful. I adore Capcom's beloved RPG series, and Monster Hunter World - the storied developer's best-selling game to date - had me hooked for 2,000 hours before I had my fill of its Iceborne expansion. Spending such a brief time with the sequel at Gamescom 2024, then, is like licking my favorite ice cream once and then walking away. With that said, I'm pleased to report that Monster Hunter Wilds tastes more delicious than ever.
