These battles are all very tough neither nature nor any living being will roll over that easily. The most powerful Kemono can change the environment just by walking through it, and the Kemono’s abilities to destroy or add objects to the environment reinforce their undeniable impact on nature. These literal freaks of nature are all awe-inspiring, but you can tell that their presence is destructive to those beautiful environments you just had fun exploring. Early game highlights include a giant hog covered in moss and vines and a giant gorilla constantly smoldering as it’s partially made of rocks and lava. Every Kemono you hunt appears to be corrupted by the environment in some way. These fall in the standard monster-hunting gameplay loop but still reinforce some of those more nuanced themes. The thrill of the huntĮventually, those fights against the giant Kemono do take place. The first few areas I visited in Wild Hearts have all been beautiful and colorful, which encouraged me more to track down the Kemono that was interfering with this beautiful space.

So far, I’ve avoided attacking these enemies, instead taking in the excellent environment and world design as I track down the biggest Kemono for me to fight. You can encounter many nonviolent creatures while traveling through the region of Azuma, and killing them only nets you a meager amount of somewhat common resources. It shows that not all Kemono need to be seen as prey, and you don’t necessarily need to hunt and kill everything you see. You can kill the creature, but you can also choose to pet it and let it saunter away. After getting the hang of the controls as you track it down, you can sneak up on it. That said, it demonstrates its maturity and respect for nature with the first creature you encounter, a deer-like Kemono that is not aggressive. In my preview of the game last year, I explained how Wild Hearts does a lot right in how it eases players into the genre much better than any Monster Hunter game.
