The Goose

I hate to be so critical of my favorite gaming franchise, but this game was such a letdown. Very empty on release, almost no content for replay value. The graphics are very clunky, story is very bland. The ONLY upside to the game was they improved the Gunlance…that’s it. The map, although is big, feels very 1 dimensional. There’s no more exploring, no need to use items or mantles. The difficulty is very easy. I reached HR100 without breaking a sweat, and no I didn’t grind the game. There’s no rewards in the game. I went back to playing Rise and I’m happy I did that

Rise is a solid game. Sure it’s not the same as W/IB, but it’s not meant to be the same. The gameplay and combat are faster, more fluid. The combat system is very high risk/high reward. Difficulty ranges from mid-high depending on the monster but if you’re really experienced with your weapon, hunts can be somewhat quick, while still fun and engaging. The game ends up being very addicting and I was happy to play it, in fact I’m even replaying it because Wilds was such a disappointment
