    The expansion itself is pretty amazing. It adds so much new content. The whole dlc is on the same level as the base game, which means you can play it for hours. That said, it's really poorly optimized. For me, It wasn't that bad, but I heard that some people are having very serious problems with it.

I really hate how capcom treats MHW on pc. If the port was done with more care, I would for sure give it 10/10… Expand

    Quiet interesting first 50 hours, quiet boring last 950, grind for the grind.

    I started Iceborne marveling at the sizeable amount of added content, but left feeling conflicted at best and bored at worst.

    The visuals are amazing plus gameplay as a whole. What bothers me is that after 4 hours of playing a day, I get a headache. Camera rotation makes me dizzy. Is it just me? I’m so sorry. Maybe I’m just getting older.

    If you are good at this game, the would would be awesome, but for novice players it might get hard due to the difficulty curve and might just waste 50 mins. I just wasted 50 mins of my precious time doing a quest that was just to hard for me and if I had known, I would not have started it. It's still a good game overall though.

    I like play to MHW, so I play MHWI too.

    I feel this game is fun, and some monster make that I give a challenge alone and as soon as possible.

    But clutch claw make game hard and absurd.
    They need to make clutch claw is useful but not OP, so monster's attack hit box become crazy. It sometimes make me insane.

    Not a bad expansion by any means. It’s just that fundamentally its current balancing of monster hitzones, impediment of clutch claw mechanics, and process of endgame grinding/gearing elongate an already long process into a longer one than necessary.

    I had taken a long break from Monster Hunter altogether and when I booted up Iceborne for this review, I fell back in love with the game. This is how you do an expansion. For me, Iceborne will go down in gaming history as one of those great expansions like The Shivering Isles, Undead Nightmare, and Blood and Wine. If you are remotely a Monster Hunter fan, this is a must have. If you have been interested in Monster Hunter but have yet to try it, do yourself a favor and pick up Monster Hunter World and this expansion. It’s the most accessible Monster Hunter to date and a fantastic entry into the series.

    Iceborne simply cements Monster Hunter World‘s position at the top of the Hunting genre, providing one of the best and most fully-featured expansions in recent memory for a title that would already gleefully suck up hundreds of hours even in its original iteration. Anyone who’s a fan of the series should be all-in on this expansion already, and for anyone yet to check it out… well, now may very well be the best time.
