    PERFECT expantion, it fixed every gripe i had with MHW, and bumped it up from a 7 to a 10 for me. 1000 hours of gameplay is enough for my cave-man monster hunting brain to say: "game good, me like".

    Just awful. Monsters have way too much HP and it’s after the main story. It takes 40 minutes to kill one. You could get better armor and weapons to kill them faster, but guess what - they are locked behind even more pointless grinding. And it’s not resource grinding, it’s master rank grinding. You need to reach a specific MR to unlock specific monsters for further upgrade. And it’s allJust awful. Monsters have way too much HP and it’s after the main story. It takes 40 minutes to kill one.

    I came to this game from Monster Hunter: Rise, and to be frank I really wish I hadn't. The pacing of this game just wasn't what I was looking for, I fully understand the appeal of the slow combat and taking time to prepare for each hunt, but the game itself just felt slow and tedious in all the ways I appreciated the least.

    - If you're playing solo (it wasn't my case), you will have to dedicate a lot of time to using it efficiently every single fight, and it can make the gameplay repetitive, boring and anticlimatic
    - If you don't use it, you will directly be missing out on mechanics, damage and opportunities, making it feel like an obligatory tool to use.

    Besides that, it is still definitely worth a buy, and at the very worst, you can ignore the clutch claw like I did until halfway through Iceborne.    … Expand

    Monster Hunter: Iceborne is not a perfect expansion but is still a ton of fun and a fantastic experience.

    I would recommend Monster Hunter: Iceborne.

    i have 1500 hours in Monster Hunter World Iceborne absolute masterpiece Capcom has done great service to the fans with tons of free content the expansion iceborne is so big i think it's even bigger or similar length like blood and wine in The Witcher 3 which was already a + 20 + 30 hours full game Iceborne is not a DLC it's not an expansion it's a full game just like The Witcher 3 Blood And Wine

    My original review was critical of the DLC on release because of the copy n' paste with most the monsters, but with all the free updates and additional monsters; This has been some of the best Monster Hunter content we've ever gotten. Some of the toughest and fun fights I've ever experienced was in this DLC and it was an amazing experience.

    Essa expansão só não é nota 10 devido a algumas decisões como se o game tivesse mantido o padrão e entregasse todos os Dragões anciões na forma Arch, como uma Shara Ishvalda, Nergigante Ferrenho, Vaal Hazak Velado e todos os outros elders como foi no endgame do World, seria um bom desafio pra por em ação os equipamentos do Fatalis.
    Outra coisa que eles fizeram foi deixar todos os eventos disponíveis de uma só vez, porém o Cerco da Safijiva precisa de outros players fazendo ao mesmo tempo, poderiam ter seguido o caminho da Kulve da Rank Mestre e colocar uma Safijiva Arch Tempered que poderia ser derrotada solo e em uma única ida, para o jogador não ficar dependente de outros players.
    E por fim a história pós game, que construiu uma narrativa em torno da Safi'jiva e criou um mistério entre ela e o Alatreon, para no ultimo update invés de trazer respostas para esse mistério o jogo simplesmente encaixou de forma totalmente sem sentido o Fatalis na história por puro fanservice e a trama construída que citei ficou em aberto.    … Expand

    It improves upon the base game in every way. No longer is endgame gear like health regen prone to sheer randomness, now you can focus on exactly what you want.

    Iceborne manages to take the QoL changes that World made to the series, and render them completely moot. Combine that with a lack of a compelling story, poorly programmed monsters, mechanics that do not work and terrible balancing issues, and you're left with an expansion that's best left unplayed.

    Belive me its not just and expansion pack pack! Iceborne includes so much contents even more than many full games with 60 dollars tag! This is a respectful way to treat your costumers and also your beloved game. A fantastic expansion (you consider it as a full game!) for a fantastic game.

    This could easily be the sequel instead of just an expansion, definitely makes the experience of Monster Hunter World as a hole even better and especially for me as a trophy hunter the fact that has its own Platinum trophy makes it even more awesome, still getting free title updates the game likely will last much more.

    I loved MHW before and now I love Iceborne. I can't count all the amazing feelings and moments I had with this game and its expension. You really can see all the love and detail that the developer have spend at this game. I can understand why people are angry about that game I can see the problems but MHW I is more than that. It is a masterpiece and it's worth the price

    Incredible dlc. A lot of the problems of the base game are now solved. The added content is enormous. My only problem is the event formula and the lack of variety in the end-game meta (optimal equipment)

    While this expansion will certainly frustrate new hunters learning the ropes, it gives veterans nearly everything they craved for after finishing the original experience. Capcom continues to do what it does best in this series, improving upon prior efforts to refine these games for an even finer sheen. When it comes to games about hunting monsters, Monster Hunter World: Iceborne proves that this series is the apex predator.

    While exciting new monsters and more freedom in equipment are definitely welcome additions, the Guiding Lands endgame content’s poorly balanced level design will make players feel uncomfortable.
