    Great gameplay! Lots of cool monsters to hunt, different areas to explore and fun things to do in general.

    Monster hunter is not for everyone so I would not pay much attention to bad reviews here about the game. It takes real skill to play this game and sorry to say that makes a lot of gamer's salty. This is not a game you can just jump in and hack and slash, it takes skill and cunning but it is beyond worth it.

    As someone who started playing it on PC on May/2020, the game is superb. I had a few graphical issues at first, but figured them out (disable DirectX 12, NVIDIA guys!).

    I have playerd MH4U(650h) and MHGU(350h), and then MHW on PS4 Pro (100h) when it launched, stopped for a long time, and started again from the start on PC (100h as of now).

    My first impression while playing it on PS4 was: the game is good. Loading times are terrible. Something is just not quite there yet.

    There are some differences to make it easier for newcomers, and they were so well thought that the the essence of Monster Hunter is still very much there, without scaring away unexperienced players.

    Mastering the game rewards the player as much as it did on previous games, and is just not for anyone. Still, there are loads of content and hours of fun without the need to master it, just by playing with online with randoms, playing with your friends, being a fashion hunter, trying to learn new weapons, playstyles and combos, and so much more.

    What could be better? Weapon designs were a little uninspired at first, but Iceborne fixed that. Multiplayer is weird. Weird decisions, clunky menus.

    Also, as someone who started playing when the ball was already rolling, there is just so much content, so many event quests, so many unlockables, I am having a hard time trying to catch up. But I guess that's a good thing, right? More bang for your buck.

    The game is not perfect, but IMHO, it took all the right steps towards the evolution of the series, and for that, I give it a 10.    … Expand

    There is simply no better game. Best monster hunter game in the franchise so far.
    -IT is ON PC (finally)
    -huge collections of weapons to master
    -still a challenging game with 500+ hours into the franchise

    Not going to lie. Was waiting for this game with my friends forever and it delivered and exceeded out expectations a lot. I am still knees deep in it way after the 150 hour mark. I wish Capcom will release more content for this game. At this stage I wouldnt really mind paying for it.

Nice aesthetic of weapons Grinding is not boring due to hard fights and a lot of weapons which needs TONS of hours to master.

    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.

    Monster Hunter finally on PC. The game is awesome so far and no technical issues whatsoever. I5 4690@4.5ghz, 16gb, 1070ti. Game runs between 70 and 150 fps if unlocked. Great for gsync.

    The game itself is Monster Hunter with a bunch of QoL changes compared to previous titles. Best game to get into the franchise.

    This is my first exposure to the series, and I must say I'm highly impressed. The world feels like a living eco system, and has beautfiul locales.

    The combat is incredibly varied, as not only do the 14 different weapon types have seperate animations, they have their own set of combos as well. This makes each type of weapon play in unqiue ways, which makes the system always feel fresh.    This is my first exposure to the series, and I must say I'm highly impressed.

    Weapons. As the game is on PC, and animations are much more fluid than previous titles, so it becomes a bit easy as weapons are much more responsive now.

    MH has its own combat system, and people tend to criticize it for being clunky or something. It is supposed to be clunky, so that every action is a risk-reward decision making. Back in 2G, Khezu was my teacher. It taught me when to strike, and when to roll away, and never be greedy. MHW lacks a monster like Khezu, so players might have a difficult time to learn how to play MH.

    First MH game was released in 2004, and Demon Soul was released in 2009, so please do not consider MH a soul game, and do not expect to play like in soul game in MH. With an open mind, you will quickly learn how to play the game, including some delicate details like rolling backwards when facing forwards is slower than rolling backwards when facing backwards. As long as you set the setting to mouse alternative, movement is 100% in your control.    … Expand

Monster Hunter World has become a game well worth the time and money. The team have added a great deal of free content including quests, monsters, weapons, armor and more.

    In Monster Hunter World you take on the role of a new hunter of great beasts ranging from reptiles the size of sedans, to wyverns and dragons as big as a house. You have a wide variety of weapons to choose from. Weapons you can fire from further away, swords for getting close and personal and even a horn for supporting allies and bashing monsters.

    This game is one of the most rewarding franchises you can play. You can spend your time refining your skills with your weapon, tracking and following monsters, learning their weaknesses and hunting them down. Hunts are only as easy as you make and prepare for them. When you finally do take that monster down, you are rewarded with components you can use to upgrade your weapons and armor. Make heftier and stronger gear to hunt the next great beast.

    Perhaps the weakest aspect of the game is that this title carries the smallest list of available monsters you hunt. While that is a shame considering the monsters themselves are the content. This has been fixed with the patches mentioned earlier as well as the recent DLC content 'Iceborne'.

    If you're a fan of action games and like the idea of playing co-op online to take on massive monsters, this game is for you.

    The different monsters are fun to fight against.
    Every single one has their own gimmick.
    Gearing was a lot of fun.

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

    - Graphics are good - but you do need good hardware. I run Intel I-7, 16 GIG RAM and 1070 ti with everything max settings no issue. (No 4K monitor though...).
    - All keys are customisable and i recommend you spend some time fixing some of the painful mapping that people frequently speak about. XBOX controller worked without any tweaking required. Plug it into the PC and it works.
    - I can make some recommendations as well:
    ----- the top tier drops are out of reach for 99% of players with exceedingly low drop rates
    ----- annoying game design, its awesome in the beginning to traverse the levels in the home base and go back and forth to your room which quickly gets old. I wish i could just do everything from my storage chest. (Forging, changing cat gear, collecting harvests, tail-raiders etc.
    ----- There are a lot of features like how to manage your quick bar, which aren't immediately obvious. Spend some time on YouTube for the hints.
    ----- Move set combos missing from the hunters notes or tutorials. Again thanks to all the YouTube content creators out there.

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

I'm not much of a graphics snob, I just want 60-50 fps and I'm fine, and MHW delivers on that. I have a middle of the road $900ish pc and with medium graphic settings and v sync turned off, I have no problems maintaining at least 50 fps during 99% of my time playing the game. The only issues I have with my frame rate is typically at the end of hunts when everyone puts bombs at the monsters head and they all blow up at once and it causes my game to freeze for a second, but nothing more. 2) Bad controller support. Once again, for me this was no issue. I played dauntless before this was released and I found that these games play and handle very well on mkb so thats what I chose to play mhw on. Especially since I am a bowgun main, where aim is a part of how good the weapon is, being able to use mkb is a blessing for me. And for anyone who is okay with playing on mkb, I promise after a couple hours you'll feel like a natural. The mkb controls are highly modifiable in every regard and you can swap any button you want to whatever feels comfortable. 3) The last issue is with matchmaking. I play probably about 65% of this game solo and it works just perfectly for that 65% of the time and then on the other 35% of the time I play with friends or with randoms, I have connectivity issues about 10%-15% of the time. so not much of my time is spent in matches where I get booted. I will say however that how this system is handled is incredibly poorly designed. Say you are in a hunt with 4 other people, the monster will scale its HP up to accommodate all 4 players, and when you DC, you don't get sent back to the home world, you continue through the hunt by yourself with the monster who's HP is still scaled up, so you basically have to abandon the quest because the monster in basically invincible. Also sometimes when you are trying to load into the game and you select matchmake to put you into a server, it will stall for a few minutes and give you an error message, again, this is easily remedied by filtering your search criteria and selecting a server manually, or just creating your own session, I have never in my already 60+ hours in this game been let down by doing either of those two things. Other than those 3 things, which are really just mild inconveniences to sensible people who aren't snobs like many in the pc gaming community are, this game is absolutely wonderful. I beat the main story on console but refrained from playing any past that point in waiting for the pc release and now that it is finally here, this game is as incredible as I hoped it would be and i couldn't possibly recommend any other game as much as I recommend this game.… Expand

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

    A decent version of a really good game.

    As a PC user that didn’t have a PS2 back in the days, I never played any of the console exclusive Monster Hunter titles, I knew them, saw them, even other people I knew back them, talking about them and playing them, but never did so myself. So when it comes to actual first hand impressions, World was my first MH game, so no bias here of any    A decent version of a really good game.

    As a PC user that didn’t have a PS2 back in the days, I never played any of the console exclusive Monster Hunter titles, I knew them, saw them, even other people I knew back them, talking about them and playing them, but never did so myself.

    So when it comes to actual first hand impressions, World was my first MH game, so no bias here of any sort, really. I think this game is really enjoyable, gameplay wise, it’s not just “button mashy” at all, combat is quite methodical, if you don’t want to get hit every time a monster attacks, and probably it is what I like about the combat, the most. I mean, I would probably enjoy it too if this had…Devil May Cry style combat, but that’s not the point, it just fits the game as it is.

    I played this game when it was released, went through a few rough patches here and there (mostly a known driver issue on Nvidia GPUs, back in the day, resolved in a couple weeks), and here we are today.

    To this day, still surprises me that this game uses the MT Framework engine, not because it is really old, but because how well holds up still to this day, and how good the game can look , especially in cutscenes (and more so in the Iceborne expansion), some scenes have really nice detail.

    I have played this game on different PCs over the years: first on my old intel i5 4690K with a GTX 1070, it was fine at 1080p and a moderate amount of High settings mixed with some stuff tuned down a bit, CPU usage was a bit rough at launch though, but it improved a lot later on.

    Currently, I play on a Ryzen 5 3600 and a RTX 3060 Ti, and of course it runs much better but, this game is still quite demanding both on the CPU and GPU. At Max Settings, this game barely does 40 FPS at 4K on this GPU, without DLSS. It is a shame though that it’s still DLSS 1.9 I believe, and not the newer and much better looking and performing DLSS 2.X, and I do hope one day Capcom make the switch to that one, to this day most games that initially supported the older DLSS have switched to the improved one. This would also allow DLSS to be used at 1080p or any other arbitrary resolutions, because at the moment, being the older DLSS tech, can only be enabled for 1440p and 4K.

    When it comes to Controls and Keybinds, I think Capcom did a decent job overall for this port, there’s a small amount of keys that cannot be bound , like DEL for instance, but for the most part, I can bind most of my usual keys (I’m left handed, btw). I can play this game with no particular issues with Keyboard and Mouse and it is, in fact, my preferred control method for this game. The ability to use shortcuts for items with keys is quite useful and less cumbersome than using the stick on the gamepad on a radial menu, but that’s my personal preference really.

    All in all, I think it’s no surprise this game has sold so many copies across all the systems it released, of course many “older fans” of the series may not have all they wanted from MH condensed in this single title, but for a wider audience it seems this game hit the right spots in many ways.

    I can only imagine how much better (and performing) an RE Engine MH game with the budget of World would be in the future. MH Rise is coming in 2022 to PC, but that one is a “scaled down” game, technically, to accommodate for the Switch hardware, but my point is that Capcom took MT Framework (which they know pretty well, they’ve been using it since forever) and made this huge game here, so when they finally make the jump to RE Engine on the next mainline entry, it could be something interesting.

    My only issues with the game though, is that it often loses the online connectivity when minimizing the game, it’s been a bug since the game launched, and still happens, probably doesn’t like to be “inactive” for a split second when it minimizes, or something.

    Another issue is that the game’s lighting is quite often very “bloomy”, to exaggerated levels even, it looks nice at night but at day time…sometimes certain surfaces and the sky can look very over exposed and with too much bloom. I also heard the game had lots of issues with HDR, especially when it launched, not sure how that works nowadays, since I don’t use HDR myself.

    Overall, this would be a game I would’ve spent like 5k hours already, if I didn’t play any other games, because there’s a lot to do, and different weapons to master, if you do enjoy following that route. Having “only” played a few hundreds of hours, I can still say they were well spent, and I don’t get tired of coming back to the game, now and then.    … Expand

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.
    ◘ 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.

    Solid game, well designed, and there's not a whole lot of "are you kidding me" moments. There's a few towards the end, BS abilities that are not as fun as they are annoying, but the overall experience is fantastic. Great time solo or with friends (once everyone is at endgame, that is).

    The core game is really good, but it's unfortunately brought down by some questionable design choices which often make it more tedious than it needs to be.

    My introduction into the series, and admittedly a bit of a rough one. After learning the combat, hunting began to feel more rewarding and I soon became engrossed. I am now on the Iceborne expansion and also playing Rise. Overall a really fun game once you get accustomed to it.

    Gameplay is great,

    Story is whatever. Muted & went afk/minimized the Game in pretty much all cutscenes. Awkward voice actors in german.

Haha.

    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

    - 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

    2. A little repetitive (but it's a given for the franchise, and it's my own humble opinion)
    3. A quite small roster of monsters than the previous titles
    4. Crashes from time to time due to graphics card crash (although I have a 1060 and an i7 6th gen and playing on medium graphics settings), but rarely (almost never) now due to the performance updates
    5. Connection problems if you tabbed out or doing something else on your computer

    Will change rating as time progresses.

    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.
