Monster Hunter Wilds is both a return to meat-and-potatoes monster combat and a dramatic revision of the hunting format. It's a more approachable lizard-slaying sandbox, and it's a tangle of multiplayer quirks that still feels like something out of 2007. It's the cleanest Monster Hunter has ever played, and it's a temperamental piece of software that might crash if you tab back in at the wrong time.
