2025’s Major Game Hit with ‘Overwhelmingly Negative’ Steam Reviews

Okay, so there’s this game, right? Monster Hunter Wilds. It kinda blew up with amazing reviews when it first dropped. Critics were like, “Wow, this game’s a masterpiece!” It even got all these shiny scores—like 89 or something on that critics’ site, OpenCritic. Everybody was raving about the combat and whatnot.

But then… it kinda fell apart. Fast-forward a bit, and the whole vibe shifted. It’s now sitting on Steam with what they call an “Overwhelmingly Negative” tag. I checked out the reviews, and it’s a mess. Folks are seriously not happy. There’s this whole list of complaints, and it’s like, where to even start?

So, initially, people had a blast—fighting monsters, exploring vast landscapes. But then, technical gremlins popped up, especially on PCs. I mean, try battling a gigantic lizard when your screen freezes. Annoying, right? There’s also chatter about microtransactions. Like, come on, in a game where you’re supposed to hunt monsters for fun? Hmmm. The PC version’s been crashing, and everyone’s fed up.

Scrolling through Steam reviews is… intense. “Technical issues!” some shout, while others lament the lack of new beasties to chase. Apparently, there were whispers (or data leaks—I don’t really get how that happened) about more monsters. Nothing came of it, so players were left twiddling their thumbs. No new monsters = boredom.

And don’t even get me started on the open-world stuff. It seems like, instead of enhancing the game, it just muddled things up. Players are scratching their heads over what these open-world features really add. Are they game-changers or just fluff? Mixed feelings, honestly.

But hold up—there’s a silver lining, maybe? Capcom, the geniuses behind this game, might dish out something new in a big showcase event around late June. My fingers are crossed. Seriously, a well-timed update could make everything right (hopefully?).

So, yeah. Monster Hunter Wilds came in hot with potential, but right now? It’s a bit of a rocky ride. Here’s hoping Capcom’s got something up their sleeves, ’cause, boy, do they need some magic now.
