    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).

    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). Playing on PC the game feels much more fluid than on PS4 Pro!! (I7-9750H + 1660Ti)

    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

    Awesome game all the way through. The plebs who are complaining in these reviews are probably playing the game with a mouse and keyboard. If they had any sense, they would play with a controller. But they don't have any sense, do they?

    Fantastic game for monster hunter fans keeps everything great about the franchise, and a ton more. Most people giving zeros are doing it because of technical issues such as the use of Denuvo, or the fact that the movement is just an emulated controller and not direct mouse input. The input issue was fixed. The game itself is very fun and provides a lot of content for 60 dollars.

    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.

    Perfect and ultimate experience to master and enter into Monster Hunter world.

    It's harder than dark souls series which is just "medium-core" this is 2 tier higher and gives ton of fun when you master weapon and runs on harder and harder and harder enemies. 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.

    Graphics are beautiful, and frames are stable on weaker GPU... probably needs powerful CPU, (my case).

    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.

    1st stop using your old pentium 4 pc and expeckt the game to run for you its a new game and i run it with an i5 7600 and a gpu gtx 1050ti w/o any problems on max setings with 55 to 60 fps
    the only downside to this game is that is using steam platform, face it noobs the game is gr8 steam makes all the bugs for us and the lags and dcs

    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.
