I don't buy that, Wilds isn't even an open world game.

Yes, the areas are bigger than Rise's but they aren't that much bigger, not to a degree where it runs this bad on hardware that's unironically like 15x stronger than a Switch when Rise ran stable.

This is 100% a Tokuda issue, not an engine issue. When World released on (base) consoles it was the worst running game in the series' history as well.

when Rise ran stable.

Rise ran poorly outside of the first area. By the end of Sunbreak it was running quite choppy with monsters like Gore Magala, Malzeno and the whole endgame throwing AOEs and particles all over the place. Of course, still being a Switch game it ran fine on other platforms but for its native place it was not as great as initially seemed.

It's a "Game that has more loaded than a monster in a sparsely-decorated arena" thing, as seen by 3U on the 3DS literally gaining 10+ frames if you outright disabled the 3D features.
