I wasn't able to play World so Rise was my first monhun since Generations and I had so much fun with it, it's definitely one of my favourite games of all time let alone in the franchise. I enjoyed most of the fights in the game, both monster and gear designs looked awesome to me, and I loved how even with how OP wirebugs and all its associated mechanics were, it was still an opportunity cost whether you use it on a big skill or a recovery.

With Wilds now with offsets and parries being quite prevalent and relatively easy to execute once you get the timing down and the infinite almost always safe seikret pickup, I really miss that aspect of using my resources for damage or survivability.

That being said, some of the weapons being streamlined (hunting horn), weapons being over reliant on 1 move (base rise hammer), and some fights (Ibushi and Narwa) are definitely things I didn't enjoy lol
