As I write this on Friday, more than 1.3 million people are actively playing Monster Hunter Wilds on Steam. So far only around 13,000—or 1%—have stopped playing long enough to review it, but those who have are largely frustrated. Steam reviews sit at a disappointed "mixed," largely citing performance issues as the reason.
And I get it. Even though I've had a blast playing Monster Hunter Wilds for the last two weeks on a pre-launch build, I've had to look past some bizarrely low-res textures and frequent framerate dips to enjoy my hunting time.
