I think you just have to be a bit more open minded I've never played a monster hunter game until wilds although I've been gaming my whole life(just never really thought it was that cool) ..but𒀰 it was a cool experience..I roamed and roamed freely and slayed everythജing I thought looked interesting..still farming gear 😁.. the story was cool to not so compelling but it was good and a bit better than I expected...the self guide through I didnt need although I could see how it would make things easier for the casual player..if you're a seasoned gamer it's cool just run around on foot more actually explore the landscapes it's a beautiful game... definitely fun wit the crew
