    Moving to real consoles has paid off for Monster Hunter. The fifth installment is bigger, nicer and funnier (a bit). In addition, a number of free addons will extend the entertainment for another dozens of hours. [Issue#283]

    This is the most audacious Monster Hunter game yet. Monster Hunter: World manages the balance between staying true to the series’ ideals and the addictive loop of combat with intimidating monsters and meaningful upgrades that fans love, while also taking a dramatic leap into a look, feel, and size that feels truly new. Its sheer depth and the commitment required is still intense, but it clearly isn’t Capcom's aim to court a casual crowd. It’s as all-consuming and incredible a ride as ever.

    I can't recommend Monster Hunter: World enough to anyone who's after possible GOTY games. It's not just the best Monster Hunter game to date, I'm pretty sure it's one of the best titles of the year, and that's a big achievement for CAPCOM and this particular franchise mostly known in Japan.

    Monster Hunter finally arrives on the new generation consoles. Its soul is intact: it is always divided in two main sectors, the preparation and the hunt, and it’s fun as ever. The hunts are long and secondary quests or activities, like collecting the pieces to craft armors and weapons, could take months. The monsters are now moved by the most complex and smooth animations we've ever seen in a videogame, but maps are not so big and interactive. Monster Hunter: World is a big step up for the series, not for the current videogames scenario.

    Monster Hunter: World scratches the itch for complexity, both in hunt for rare gear and skill with its weapons, but this time it’s a game that no one should be intimidated to get into.

    Monster Hunter World is going to be one of the best RPGs of 2018. It has enormous amount of content and can keep players in the game for hundreds of hours.

    I won't rehash the problems I had with World simply because they make me profoundly sad. I wanted to like the game, I hoped the new direction would bring the series to a new level, but instead, the whole thing blew up in my face like a Marshmallow Peep left in the microwave too long.

    Monster Hunter: World is not easy. It’s still layered with complex systems and still asks its players to invest time and knowledge. But WorldMonster Hunter: World is not easy. It’s still layered with complex systems and still asks its players to invest time and knowledge. But World has sanded down the franchise’s most esoteric edges. You’ll spend more time wrestling with monsters than wrestling archaic control schemes.For all its complexity, the point of Monster Hunter is right there in the title: you hunt monsters. Your hunter, customized on a fairly robust character creator, starts the game journeying to a New World full of gorgeous, lush ecosystems teeming with creatures great and small (though usually just gigantic and angry). For those who say its been dumbed down and "easy mode" clearly haven't played the game or probably cant afford it since mommy and daddy can only get them nintendo consoles. Also monster hunter started on Sony **** faces so saying they betrayed you makes you look retarded.… 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 backI 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.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a 12 years fan, I would like to leave a feedback on this game specifically on "monster hunter world"
    first of all i think capcom should make an after-story DLC to tell what is going to happen after when the main character defeats the final boss, this way i think story line would end perfectly. and another thing, In my opinion the production team should make the game a little bit more difficult, otherwise players who played over 100 hours are not feeling the game as challenging as they felt at the beginning    … Expand
