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.

    (Initially I would rate this game an 8/10 at launch but because of the effort put into making this such a complete and fun title it has to be a 10.)    … Expand

(Go over to setting, there are options that ask you what alternative you want to use, and will suggest an alternative for KB&M.)

    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

    I have been a fan of the series since monster hunter 4 ultimate. The quality of life improvements are so substential that I could not go back to the older games. The one complaint I have is the design of the weapons. At the moment it's the base weapon plus a bit of fur / skin and teeth from the monster, which is considerable downgrade from insane amount of visual variaty of the older games.

    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,    Detailed review as of mid-September. I'm new to the MH series.

    - 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

    A game where all you do is hunt monsters many times to get gear so you can fight the next monster and each fight takes around 20 minutes. Very repetitive with nothing else to do, the game is lacking any depth. It's a rather shallow experience with a boring story.

    If you like grinding and fighting the same monster over and over again then it would be your kind of game. I spent $43 Aud on this and only keep playing as I want to get my moneys worth. The game is alright, fun to kill a monster the first time but I bit too repetitive as you need to kill it many times to be able to craft a full set of gear so I find it overly grindy and can't recommend as it is not fun enough.    … Expand

    The world is not appealing and not blended well, looks congested for nothing, the player new mechanism engine is good but the monsters animation is poor, and unrealistic. In addition, cannot be compared with SEKIRO nor Dark Souls,
    picking and gathering seeds from everywhere looks weird
    at the first the game was looking appealing but after playing I lost all the excitement.

    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.
    ◘ 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. Your father and I are proud of the person you have become.    … Expand

    This is my second game into the MH franchise, the first being 3 Ultimate.

    Throughout playing the game, graphic wise it is completely revamped, it has a lot more texture and quality to the world design which gives it more aesthetics. Cut scenes are beautiful and appealing but are not skippable which in some cases makes gameplay longer for no reason. Setting it on max graphic does give you the best experiences but slows down actual gameplay and has surreal lags throughout. Other than that it is open and looks good 8/10.

    Gameplay is pretty wonky, movement is delayed by a bit and sensitivity isn't too good which none can be changed. Slower weapons like the great sword or switch axe tend to have the most problems with timing as attack delay is more noticeable compared to the other weapons. Next thing is playing on keyboard just ins't recommended because the key bindings are set to weird keys and you can easily forget each placement without long hours of practicing. A controller on the hand just works better and gives you maximum control. Going into gameplay itself it feels just like the other series but slightly more boring. An experienced veteran player are able to run through things faster because the attacking patterns of each monster is practical almost the same. While as newer players spend longer time periods because the tutorial teaches you nothing. Over time some find it boring as the actual storyline is non-existence with only repetitive events and there is no character development throughout at all. The Pros to this are the SOS system is quite nice, it sets up a room and other people can join at any given time to play with you, but there are sometimes connection errors which after that playing solo is more viable than co-op. 6/10

    Overall, the game does feel like a MH game but leans more towards veteran players who want to zip through and grind out materials, while for newer players allows them to explore a more open and casual hunt without any difficulty hurdles. It is a good game if you want to just have fun and play with friends but not really something you would spend most of your free time on since its just grinding and repetitive for the most part.    … Expand

    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.
