    Monster Hunter World is such an amazing game The combat, graphics, soundtrack are all excellent. There are some network issues such as sudden disconnects also not being able to skip cut scenes is an issue when you're playing with your friends. If you have friends to play this game is a treat.

If you get used to the combat mechanics, it's not clunky. It's different to other games similar to this one. Yes, in this game you get punished for making stupid decisions in combat.

    UPDATE: Capcom's initial patch has fixed the server issue for me.

    While the game is great, there are some improvements that I really look forward to, such as being able to bind gestures/items/SOS directly to 0-9 (or any other keys) instead of the annoying F1-F4 + number keys.

    Very good and beautiful game! It could contain more monsters (like old ones from MHFU, MHP3 etc.), but devs said they will add them later, so it's fine. The game is not so hardcore as portable versions, but maybe I just get used to dodging from playing other MH games)

Work with others at times to accomplish the goal. There are many MMO like features. Paths of progression. But above all, plenty of weapons that offer extremely different feels. This is part of the problem some people may have. They pick a weapon that they end up not enjoying with. And instead of trying a new one they persist. But here´s the thing. The game does have the right weapon for you. Although the goal is to kill big beasts over and over again, they are all unique. And the game keeps on trowing new layers of things you can do such as exploring, researching, hunting and so on. This is not a game I would recommend to play alone. Hallf the fun is going out on missions with friends or calling out for help and getting some random people to assist you in killing that major beast. Above all the game successfully makes you feel like a real monster hunter. Now this is a non serious game with the typical Anime style animations. I understand this game can be divisive. Some people will greatly enjoy it and some won´t. But that doesn't mean it´s a bad game. Just that it isn't for everyone. Then again, what game is?… Expand

More on this below) - Audio: 9 (Good music, good sound effects) - Story: 6. (Not a huge factor in the final score - it's a game,    Detailed review as of mid-September. I'm new to the MH series.

    Summary:
    - Overall score 8. (Great game, but has MASSIVE flaws)
    - Gameplay: 8 (What keeps this from being a 9.5 is the sheer tediouness; more on this below).
    - Graphics: 9 (Poorly optimized. More on this below)
    - Audio: 9 (Good music, good sound effects)
    - Story: 6. (Not a huge factor in the final score - it's a game, not a book)

    Gameplay PROs:
    As a whole, solid and fun gameplay loop - buy weapons and items at HQ, go to the wilds to explore and find your objective, kill it or capture it, go home then do it again.
    Lots of weapons, lots of different styles of play.
    Lots of ways to cross-utilize resources (basically there are ways to convert certain unused resources into resources you want/need).
    Lots of different bosses. If you enjoy Dark Souls, Nioh, and Bloodborne, but are new to Monster Hunter, then there is a good chance you will like this game.

    Gameplay CONS:
    TEDIOUSNESS. UNMITIGATED TEDIOUSNESS. To help me explain, allow me to make up a term for it...let's call it MICRO-DISRUPTIONS. How do I define micro-disruptions? They are moments in gameplay where you cannot do anything for several seconds. Examples - stopping to heal, getting knocked down, getting stunned, etc. So, the examples above are normal in games. You get knocked down in Bloodborne, you have to stop to heal in Dark Souls, etc. In a way, micro-disruptions add depth to the game because you have to plan around prevention/minimization of said micro-disruptions. HOWEVER, in Monster Hunter World, micro-disruptions are EVERYWHERE and are EXTREMELY LOOONG. I promise you, you will NOT be able to go ONE MINUTE without being interrupted. To make things worse, this is a VERY SLOW game. If you thought Dark Souls was slow, this is MUCH, MUCH SLOWER. The micro-disruptions in Dark Souls are already long, usually 2-3 seconds (healing, getting knocked down then getting up, buffing your weapon, etc). In Monster Hunter World, micro-disruptions are far, far LONGER and more TEDIOUS, specially since one micro-disruption often leads to another. Let me give you a basic example from MHW - when you have to heal, you have to sheathe your weapon (~1.5 seconds), drink up the potion (~4 seconds), now you're ready to fight! So draw your weapon again (~1.5 seconds). That's 6 seconds of you not playing the game. Not good. Adding to our example, take into consideration that while you're healing, your chances of getting hit are greater (slow movement, weapon and shield tucked away). If you do get hit - and this will happen OFTEN specially when you're a beginner, the whole process of getting knocked down and getting up takes ~4 seconds. Don't forget that your healing was interrupted, so you have to attempt to heal AGAIN. Another ~4 seconds. Another source of extreme tedium is how fast monsters move and how often they run away. I understand that it makes sense for monsters to outpace you no matter what cause they're so much bigger; but while it makes sense, it results in tedious gameplay. If a monster does a dash or charge attack, you're guaranteed to have to run to it for ~2-8 seconds. This is assuming it doesn't charge in another direction while you're running toward it, which would mean you run more again. Then, eventually, no matter how little damage you've managed to do, the monster will fly or run away. You will now have to find it again. Even if your scoutflies (GPS, basically) know exactly where the monster is, you're guaranteed to run toward it for several minutes. Remember that these monsters have massively high health pools. The end result is battles last anywhere from ~15 minutes to ~40 minutes, only ~60% of which is actually spent in the battle.
    These individual micro-disruptions are not so bad on paper, and they probably sounded good to the developers when they were making the game, but in practice, I can say with confidence it has a disastrous effect on enjoyment.
    This slowness makes the game needlessly cruel to beginners and even for experienced players. At any point in a battle, there is a distinct chance that you will be micro-disrupted for anywhere from 5 seconds to 15 seconds. Remember that these disruptions often chain together. Bad game design.
    Instead of making the game this slow they should have sped up the whole thing instead. Examples: sprinting should be much faster, item use should be much faster, knock-down-get-up should be much faster, etc etc etc. Of course monster should be faster to compensate. If Monster Hunter World were as fast as, say, Nioh, it would've been a 9.5 out of 10 for me. Easily. But it's not. D*mn shame.

    Graphics:
    Beautiful visuals, but on i5-4690, GTX1070, 24 GB RAM, I'm getting 30-60 FPS. The dips are intense. Hard to enjoy fully. CPU heavy! I'm not sure how they would go about fixing this, but it needs to be addressed. Everyone below my specs is having a worse time trying to run this game. Not good. Needs optimization!

    Hope this helped!    … Expand

    Having played Monster Hunter since the start, I can confirm Monster Hunter: World is a culmination of everything the franchise has been wanting to do since the start. If you don't think so, it's okay, everyone can have their own opinions. Except you, ♥♥♥♥ you elitist prick.

If you don't think so, it's okay, everyone can have their own opinions. Except you, ♥♥♥♥ you elitist prick.

    I will now point out all the reasons World is better than any other game in the franchise and in order to appeal to both veterans and newcomers into the franchise, I'll be comparing it to the older ones the newcomers haven't played yet:

    ◘ The maps aren't a cluster of small-segmented areas divided by an inconvenient loading screen of 10 - 30 seconds. They are all combined into one BIG map. And when I say big I don't mean: "Hey Ron, you know that sausage you ate during our BBQ last weekend at my place. It was pretty big, huh." I mean Notorious B I G levels of scale. The maps are all ample in both ground level and verticality; each area is connected in ways that even after dozens of hours of gameplay you'll still be finding new shortcuts to transverse the level. And that's without mentioning the ♥♥♥♥-ton of items, creatures and resources spread around everywhere.
    ◘ The combat staple in Monster Hunter has always been your commitment to the hits and your actions, be it to chug a potion as slowly as humanly possible, or to spend fifteen seconds loading a hit with your greatsword only to have the monster move his head at the last second leaving you to hit the floor in embarrassment as your other teammates look at you in disapproval of your life choices. In the same vein of the combat in DARK SOULS. Ok, with the required DARK SOULS mention in the review out of the way, let's move on to why World's combat kicks♥♥♥♥♥ They lowered your commitment to the attacks and items JUST enough so you wouldn't want to kill yourself everytime you accidentally use a whetstone in the middle of battle. "NO Richard. Right now is not the time to sharpen your sword. Why? Oh I dunno. Maybe because there's a ♥♥♥♥ing dragon about to light your♥♥♥♥♥on fire! You know what, I'm done. We are done. I tried to put effort into this marriage but it's just not working out for me. I want you out of my parent's house by eight tomorrow. And no, you can't take our computer. Get a job." Also, mounting attacks.
    â—˜ The Handler.

    If even after everything I just said you still think Monster Hunter 4, or Monster Hunter 1 for PS2(Hah!) is better. Or even worse, if you have the brain capacity of a shrimp too dumb to know that if he falls asleep he'll go out with the tide; Monster Hunter Stories, for the sole reason it's "kawaii." Even if it is. I'm sorry but I can't help you. You'll have to seek counsel elsewhere. And for the rest of you, good. I expected as much from you.

One thing i'd like to address asap that I noticed about low score reviews on here, is that they really, REALLY dislike the animations of your characters during fighting, and think of it as clunky. well, fun fact, that's because its SUPPOSED to be. unlike your typical multi-weapon based game, weapons in MH:W aren't made of paper and plastic and you can't just fling a sword thrice as big as you like it doesn't weigh anything. battles are HECTIC, with environmental traps and places to use a grappling hook for quick mobility, and at all times during a battle you'll be thinking on your feet. However, this game isn't a hack-and-slash where you can just button mash and expect things to die, you have to plan your strikes(and positioning if you're using a ranged weapon) before you make them or you'll be punished for attacking in the wrong way at the wrong time. Bows for example let you run around pretty well and let you stay agile, while a lance-and-shield will make you extremely sluggish but will allow you to take extremely minimal damage while blocking, and I LOVE this system, to many games I have played where you can just button mash and things die without even being in the Hack-And-Slash genre, its refreshing to play this.

    The maps look beautiful and vibrant, and of course, so do the monsters! speaking of the monsters, I found the adaptive AI really awesome, especially during a few instances so far of 1 monster attacking another monster I'm currently fighting, which is something that is completely unscripted.

    Now, I do have some gripes with the game, Which is why im not giving it a 10, which, I agree with low score reviews, the game is pretty poorly optimized. I have a 1070Ti (overclocked as high as I could take it safely I might add) with a Ryzen 2700x OC'd CPU, and this game still can not reliably hit 60 fps without me turning some settings down a little unless I'm in a very open area without a lot of density, or i'm in non-busy floors of the main hub area. during gameplay I'm looking at around 50-65 fps with lows as bad as 40, but, highs reaching the high 70's. Hopefully some patches get released that will get this game "unchugged".

    I also don't enjoy the lack of depth to character creation, but I understand that certain aspects (such as size and body type) could cause some issues of game balance if they were to have immersive gameplay effects such as someone overweight moving slower than a fit body type, or a short character being much harder for the monsters to hit if their hitbox was also reduced to fit their height.

    all in all, the game so far is very enjoyable for me, and as someone that's always been on the low end hardware side of life for the last 20 or so years, and only just now finally getting a beefy PC, turning down a few settings to get the game at a stable 60 frames isn't the end of the world for me. on a completely unrelated note, I did notice some people saying the Co-op is unstable. I've done a LOT of hunts so far, and with those, I did the majority single-player, I will admit to that. However every single multiplayer session i've done has had no issues whatsoever, but, I'm, speaking for myself, I'd say try the game out, try to rush through the tutorial as fast as you can with the default character model(you can have up to 3 character profiles at once and can just delete the profile after) so you can do the multiplayer as soon as possible to see if it gives you issues. if you enjoy the game when doing your first quest tutorial, and there are no problems with multiplayer, delete that profile or just begin a new game and take your time with that profile, and have fun :)    … Expand

There's many different kind of trees for each weapon and armour, also monsters, but I still hope they will add some more which would make the gamers play it longer. Not saying you can get every armour/weapon quickly, you can play this game for hundreds of hours(especially with friends), also you can always switch to another weapon and master it, which would make the experience longer.
    This game also has some faults:
    Many people complain that this game is a bad PC port and let's face it the optimization is quite poor. The game uses a huge amount of CPU power. I have an I7 6700K + GTX 1070, running the game on 1080p with maxed settings(with 1-3 options turned down to medium/slow), and on a mission/quest I get around 67-80 FPS.
    Also the audio bug is a bit annoying, but doesn't take away from the experience.
    Haven't had any connection issues so I can't give you my opinion on that.
    It's a bit sad that you can't play the campaign in team, I mean you can, but every member has to watch the cutscenes separately and after that you can group up.    … Expand

    The game went from disastrous release to a smooth sail in a couple of weeks. After a few tweaks and fix here and there from Capcom, Monster Hunter World is finally enjoyable on PC. The most annoying issues I had before was connectivity and mouse camera control that feel sluggish (even though I mainly use gamepad, but sometimes switch to mouse/keyboard). Now:
    - No more server issues.
    - Mouse camera controls are very fluid.

    The graphic is certainly amazing. It is certainly a major improvement from previous installment in the series. Some people are complaining about low texture quality, but I don't feel bothered with it because when I'm on the hunt, don't usually pay much attention to it.

    The gameplay is challenging as ever, with ridiculous hitboxes and the sluggish movement of your character even when using light weapon like dual blade or sword & shield. But all that hurdle will be rewarded with the iconic music at the end of the quest, but with the most awkward last hit. "A little poke to the toe of that Nergigante, bam, quest finished. Okay I guess, let's carve it."

    I think things that lacking now are, the optimization of keyboard control (Rename loadout with escape? Oh come on. And don't forget to press F1-F4 first before using items in quest), and the lack of meaningful event. I get it, baby steps toward better future right? But those steps're better be like Xeno'jiva's one, or people will lose patiences with this already scarce roster of monsters.

    All in all, I think this game deserve to be put in your library. Just find a friend to play with 'cause hunting alone is somewhat boring in the long run.    … Expand

    Monster Hunter World is a solid title that will soak up a lot of time if you enjoy beautiful graphics, hunting beautiful, dangerous and unique creatures, and crafting buttloads of weapons and gear.

    Monster Hunter: World offers unique gameplay of high quality. However, the whole package could have been an order of magnitude superior if it included a properly designed online party system and the port from consoles was better taken care of. But even like this, MH:W is worth every penny it asks.

    Monster Hunter: World still has all the complexity expected from this series, but it dishes it out in much more palatable chunks than usual. It's still got a frightening amount of depth, but it feels manageable in a way that few in the series have pulled off before. Players may still feel a little lost from time to time, but a little guidance from series vets or other friends can drastically reduce the growing pains new players will likely experience. On top of all that, this is one of the best-feeling titles the series has had to date; so saddle up with some friends, and explore all the New World has to offer.
