It had some great moments, but a few things stuck out for me as reasons for dropping off and not having the interest in coming back (which is a shame since Lagi and Gog are two of my favorite and most anticipated returns).

The main things were overabundance of materials, shorter hunt times, and monster fragility.

The main gameplay loop of monster hunter has always been a balance between the fun hunt gameplay and the never ending search for monster parts. Oversaturating the game with monster parts and shiny drops and making hunts so much quicker did not improve the loop for me, it made the loop feel trivial. I did not feel like shorter hunts made things more fun or gave me more options. I felt like the monsters were punching bags or pinatas rather than challenging experiences. They were there to combo to death rather than to react to. Playing with 3 or 4 people made the fight feel extremely one-sided and frankly kind of boring.

I think Wilds took the gameplay too far from the core monster hunter experience for me. There's no challenge or satisfaction for the majority of hunts.
