Monster Hunter WIlds has cast off more than a few of its shackles to become the most streamlined experience the series has seen, for better or worse. It's got its downsides, as Lincoln noted in his Monster Hunter Wilds review: "It can feel like a wonder, but it's not a wonder without a cost. In providing as much monster hunting as possible, Wilds has given up some of Monster Hunter's charms."
That's certainly true, but there is one thing I'm glad to see Capcom taking its shears to: Those gimmicky arena fights that were undeniably the worst part of Monster Hunter: World and Monster Hunter Rise.
