According to the regulations, Metacritic is temporarily unable to allow players to give ratings for these two days, but there is no such problem on the Steam platform. The game Most of the negative reviews were received on the first day of release, and the main reason for players’ criticisms is still mostly optimization issues.

One of the most popular negative reviews read: “The price is too high for the FPS that can be displayed in the game.” This review has more likes than Steam reviewers.
Obviously, it’s not just the frame drop problem, but the high price is also the main reason for players’ dissatisfaction, because no one wants to spend 1,999 yuan to play an action game that freezes following a dozen bosses.

However, although the optimization problem has been criticized, “Wild Heart” is still loved by some players. The large-scale beasts of the Japanese mythology and the changes brought regarding by the winding mechanism have made a similarity to the “Monster Hunter” series. Different styles of fun.
In particular, the network mechanism was first dubbed “Monster Hunter: Fortnite” by overseas players because it can build cube jumping platforms and other buildings on the map. Nowadays, some players really play it as “Fortnite” during the EA Play period, building a sky high Towers, plus ziplines, turn the map into a zipline amusement park.
