Matthew Powers @mtpowers21.bsky.social · 01/03/2025I just don’t understand why we are taking a step back from World’s living ecosystem and fantastic exploration as well as Rise’s great pacing.

Matthew Powers @mtpowers21.bsky.social · 01/03/2025Monster Hunter World > Rise > Wilds I do not enjoy on-rails walking segments with bad dialogue and an inability to venture off-path. That is at least 60% of Wilds’ gameplay 6 hours and 7 hunts in. When exploring, you are encouraged not to hunt any monsters you don’t have a quest line for yet. 120
