I did enjoy World though it involved a lot of interacting with bad UI and walking to a monster. Can’t really complain about grind, as you don’t have to fight the same monster too much. The story cutscenes and missions were painfully bad.

What I did like was fighting one big enemy rather that hordes of small ones, having to be close and it being risky, exotic weapon movesets. It is great that you can and do use the environment to your advantage all the time.

I would like to see a game that does the fighting big enemies in terrain but with more physics based attacks. The hitbox-based combat where you can put your hammer inside the beast and then swing feels silly.

I didn’t like the equipment upgrades much as they only get interesting late in the game and all weapons of the same base type are essentially the same.
