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

    It's pretty good i think there could have been more new monsters tho.

    Although they addes new monsters later at the beginning there were just reskins with some new moves and a different element. But nonetheless its really good the difficulty scaling was well done and there was just as much to do as in the original game so it's almost like they brought out an entire new game and    It's pretty good i think there could have been more new monsters tho.

    /*MINOR SPOILERS*

    Something that you unlock later in this DLC is the Guiding Lands wich is just the best thing ever made. You can chill with your friends and just kill monsters without putting out a quest every time and you can level different biomes which makes it that harder or different monsters spawn.    … Expand

    What's not to love on just more Monster Hunter.

    The level of detail in every single corner of this expansion is just: *Chef's Kiss*
    Graphic fidelity is insane.
    Effects are next level.
    My Cat is wearing a Coat.
    Monsters are Hunted.

    The story, combat, and gameplay are boring/unenjoyable. Too many items to sift through. Upgrade & shop system is boring, too extensive, and introduced too early. Way too many uninteresting stat/item stuff you have to sift and read through. Total waste of time. NPC's don't even talk much of the time, you have to read the text. Super nerdy, complex, and boring game overall.

    Excellant multiplayer game with good mechanics and fluent action. The "quality of life" improve massively from previous installments and the devs kept introducing new content through its cycle.

    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.

    Mucho mucho bombo, para encontrarte un juego de reparto de entregas de paquetes.

    The game would get a 10/10 for me if there was no clutch claw and if the last few bugs and performance issues were corrected.

    Throwing monsters into walls is kinda nice tho.
    Other than that, the game is perfect. Not too much grinding required. Maybe a little too easy for me but for some people it's too hard so....... I guess it's balanced.
    Great graphics (but it needs a really good PC to run fine).
    Weapons are all nice to use and monsters are almost all nice to fight (hum hum kushala, silver los...)

    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.

    The new weapons attacks and clutch move set is just amazing they really upgrade the battle mechanics, the new monsters that are returning are just a fantasy for old hunters, the sieges are really good, the history is very poor endeed. But this is a friends base game so you may have your community to really enjoy the game.

    Great expansion from CAPCOM, so many free updates and better grinding system. Poor server connection with poor story line are minus, but Capcom did really good job. As we know, this is not full game, its expansion. However this expansion contains full size of game contents.

    No plot and no characters with traits or progression. Only monster grinding with gear progression system. Pretty bland. Came also with tons of DRM software.

    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.

    This add-on for Monster Hunter World is, in my opinion, better than a number of "full" game releases. Yes, it was not technically perfect on release, but to be fair not much else is released 100% perfect and if it is free of flaws, you can bet that title was delayed or pushed back.

    Now, this expansion adds a new region to explore with a slew of new monsters, monster & weapon mechanics, and adds an entirely new end-game for MHW. I enjoyed the content/work put in that I didn't mind getting iceborne on PS4 and PC/steam.
    This DLC/expansion, if anything, is underrated and deserves a higher score overall (especially compared to the likes of some other games that need significant hardware investment... looking at you VR titles).    … Expand

    One of my all-time favorite games was Bloodborne (will refer to as BB). I was looking for a title to capture that same feeling for years after finishing BB and I've found it in MHW: Iceborne.

    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.
