Can someone elaborate on why Multiplayer is not good at the moment?

[La Gourde de Gaara]

I saw a lot of reviews mentionning that Multiplayer took a step back and we should wait if we plan to play with friends.

All the reviews are comment-locked so I can't ask.

What happened?

Similar co-op experience as world. Where the main host has to watch the cutscenes alone before others can join.

There was an improvment in rise where the whole party would watch together I believe. And they reverted back to World's co-op style. Less of a seemless co-op experience

You can however play in open world, unless that was just a beta thing? My partner isn't off work so I haven't tested it but we were able to link up and run around in game together.

If you are talking about the story quest, then yes, its just like MHWorld.

Joining others world is more tedious now, Have to go to the main menu and join via lobby code, previously in beta i could just invite my link party into a private lobby without needing everyone to quit to main menu.

You can play in the open world. But you are punished for attacking monsters you haven't progressed far enough yet to unlock a quest for.
