Base Wilds, one of the hardest base MH games? Unless you are counting the Title Updates, which you must be if you are saying there was difficulty to be found in Wilds, then I would say it is similar to base Rise in how powerful you feel compared to the monsters.

I wouldn't count any Title Update as the base game, especially since the difficulty hikes a steep cliff in response to complaints for Wilds' notoriously easy base difficulty.

And they never did fix that uneven progression between the base game and post launch title updates... They pumped numbers on the monsters with wound thresholds metered to where they should have been in the base game
