Before Monster Hunter Wilds actually released, you may recall that there were heated debates surrounding the game's overall difficulty.
Of course, no one but reviewers had actually played Capcom's latest at that point, but that didn't stop hardcore fans from fretting over the title's supposed lack of challenge. In various reviews, the game was deemed "easy" — and that was enough to dredge up the age-old conversation.
