I did return it at first, but came back. I think it deserved the bad press it got at first, but definitely came back and became overhated. It's a very solid game with cool systems, a pretty world, and fun combat.
Not a single miss with new monsters, they all look cool as hell. And just like Iceborne, Capcom again sets the bar for how much content should be in a DLC.
Wirebugs are very fun to use and the overall speed and mobility of combat is a cool change for the series. This game also introduces some really cool new monsters. Overall, though, it feels a little empty after World.
Definitely the best soulslike game. Very reminiscent of the Souls games if you like them but also plenty to make it feel unique and completely different.
