This extensive journey highlights the remarkable connectivity of the game’s zones. Only one loading screen interrupts the trip, occurring midway as the player transitions from the Oilwell Basin to the Iceshard Cliffs. Otherwise, it’s a seamless run for the intrepid Seikret.

Monster Hunter Wilds isn’t entirely free of loading screens. Beyond the one seen in the journey, there’s also a loading screen for the training grounds and those triggered by fast travel or joining a friend’s quest. Still, the interconnected design is captivating, revealing the intricate network of corridors and passages that tie the Forbidden Lands together.
