Yes the game felt easier, especially wound, but that also made my hunt satisfying! Only downside for this is how everyone is snatching to break wound and those slower꧋ missed the chance. This new series expectedly come with new mechanics and lose some like wirebugs which is no problem for me, coming from rise I feel slightly overwhelmed by amount of controls, but rise is already easier than series before this. As a open world concept in this new series, we don't even see anyone fighting in the open world, the system made it even harder to connect and play with friends, this is a letdown experience, or else is pleasantly enjoyable with the mounting coming back and seikret carrying me to location unlike how lots of time is wasted walking around in Rise collecting spirit birds before fight. So the biggest concern for its losing players the way I see it is how fast we burn through the content, I don't know what else to do. I can't even put the endemic species anywhere in my tent to spend time personalizin🐲g and inviting people over.
