Review: Wild Hearts – Destructoid

Wild enough, and a lotta heart When I first picked up Dynasty Warriors 2 from a Blockbuster Video over two decades ago, I never expected that I’d play so many Omega Force games throughout my lifetime. The cover called to me like a siren’s song, and I was introduced to what would become an endless onslaught of hack and slash games pretty much every year from there on out.

Now scientists have demonstrated that an existing drug can reprogram donor hearts to last much longer outside the body, and reduce their risk of failure after transplantation.Currently, donated hearts can only survive for around four hours in cold storage, which doesn’t leave much time to get them from donor to recipient. Much of the problem arises from a molecule called succinate, which builds up in the organ while it’s sitting on ice.…

Wild Hearts is a more sensitive stab at Monster Hunter

The Koei Tecmo-developed and EA-published monster hunting game Wild Hearts, in which players hunt giant beasts called Kemono with the help of a magical piece of crafting technology called a Karakuri, left an impression on me when I played through its opening hours late last year. Now that I’ve had time to go hands-on with the final version of the game, I’m even more impressed with its philosophical approach to hunting and the impact it leaves on the environment. Rather than just serving as a hunting simulator or…
