Digital Foundry’s Misleading Monster Hunter Wilds Review

I'm gonna be honest with you here. some people trying to play monster hunter wilds are having a bad time (tm). a lot of people are experiencing technical issues with Monster Hunter Wilds on PC. the pain is real, and these issues deserve attention.

If you're one of these people, it’s important for us to figure out what’s really going on—whether it’s hardware limitations of your system, driver issues, or game-specific bugs.

That's why its even more important that performance reviews of monster hunter wilds are honest, accurate, and conducted with care. Unfortunately, Digital Foundry’s recent “review” of Monster Hunter Wilds fails on all these fronts. From improper testing conditions to misleading hardware choices, their analysis is not just flawed—it’s actively deceptive. And it's causing a backlash brigade of trolls flooding comments and forums, from people parroting DF's talking points. Largely people who haven't even played the game. Just like DF hasn't even played the actual game.

If you're still in disbelief that they could get this so wrong, just keep watching, because I'm gonna lay it all out for you.


Improper Testing Conditions

The foundation of any credible performance review is proper testing conditions. Unfortunately, Digital Foundry’s review of Monster Hunter Wilds fails at the most basic level. The reviewer didn’t even engage with the game properly—they clicked through the default character creation settings and got to the first place in the game where they could start spinning the camera in circles.

I don't know about you, but I get a bit suspicious when people who don't actually play the game start telling me how well that game runs.

and then, At 4:23 in the video, DF confidently states, “I’m a performance reviewer, I know what I’m doing.” This is the perfect ironic setup for what transpires over the course of the rest of the video.

Maybe someone can tell me in the comments why a knowledgable performance reviewer would spend almost the entire video showcasing 1440p performance using a 1080p GPU? That's right. the video predominantly shows the rtx 4060 running Monster Hunter Wilds at 1440p.

Now before you tell me that the 4060 should be able to run 1440p, let me just remind you that DF THEMSELVES consider the 4060 to be a 1080p card. their OWN review of the 4060 benchmarks it at 1080p. it spends almost its entire run time showcasing its performance at 1080p. For the 4k performance, they aren't running this card native 4k. they are UPSCALING from much lower resolution.

So why would a knowledgable performance reviewer make such a huge oversight?
