I just fought the two fire gorilla things. I actually like how this game is just fight after fight. I don’t have to platform some giant monster or man siege weapons. Much prefer this approach to World.
I think what makes this so much easier is the wound mechanic. Just hitting it stuns the monster and then it’s GG’s when you break it.
Still enjoying it quite a bit though. Been carted a few times from being careless and getting hit with a huge attack but yeah, I can notice a big difference between this and World. I remember even Diablos kicking my ass for a good bit.
