    Sure, I'm probably biased... heck, I've spent over 800 hours on the base game before the expansion even came.

    Clutch claw takes a little bit of getting used to but when you figure it out, it provides some of the most satisfying moments during the fights. Armors look better than they did in the base game and everything is simply bigger, better, more polished. This is the ultimate version of MHW and I bet it will be played and loved and enjoyed for many years to come.
    If you're a fan of previous entries, do not hesitate, this is clearly a 10/10 experience. If you're not particularly fond of the game loop these kinds of games offer, this is still the best one out there and if you ever feel like trying, you should give this one a go :)    … Expand

    Amazing game, a great add on to an already brilliant game

    Can't wait to get through it all so this is only a review on the part I have played through not the whole game

    The very best DLC ever made. Over 800 hours played. So much extra content that this expansion feels like it's own full game. Best game ever made.

    Iceborne is a massive expansion that introduces new monsters, gameplay mechanics, weapon balancing, skill adjustments. Won’t be surprised to see this game as Game of the Year contender again

    Frankly speaking, none of any PS4 games are able to play up to thousand hours except MHW and now even has Iceborne DLC. More new weapons and armors with some new skills and the new way to hunt monsters.

    I was in love with MHW, played it around 400h, got the platy and finally put the game down. Then this gem released. This expansion is something beautiful to me. It adds a new rank with which you basically have a reason to fight all the previous monsters. It adds new monsters, a new area, moves, weappons, armor etc. I cant write down all the good stuff because it would make this too long toI was in love with MHW, played it around 400h, got the platy and finally put the game down.

If not then first buy world and beat it. Thank you MHW Iceborne developers for making this masterpiece.… Expand

    Perhaps the best expansion of all time, essentially doubling the amount of content in the game, including new monsters, areas, mechanics, weapons, armour and more! Most of the new monsters are great, the new area is expansive and gorgeous to look at, and the new base area makes using all of the facilities such as the smithy and canteen a lot faster and practical.

The clutch claw is a mostly good addition that makes slinger ammo something you will actually bother to pick up although it doesn't mesh well with certain weapons playstyles. The one big downside is again the weapons however, as like in the base game some weapons are stunning whilst others are simply the basic bone/iron weapons with some tufts of fur or monster skin stuck onto them. However, due to the sheer amount of content, value and fun packed into this dlc and the long awaited difficulty boost for veteran players, this is one of the best dlc's released in the past decade and is definitely worth every penny for players who can't get enough of monster hunter world, particularly those who have exhausted the base game and are looking for a new, fresh and more difficult experience… Expand

    Si una palabra define este juego para mi es sueño. Llevo jugando Monster Hunter desde PSP y siempre esperé alguna entrega para PS3 o PS4 y finalmente Capcom me ha dado ese sueño. Es un juego de diez aunque no es perfecto. Mejor y mas colorido en PS4. La version de xbox one es peor

Although if you are a person who is interested in story telling, this game isn't for you. But that's not what games are, games are meant to be fun. And this game is a real ball of a time. It demolishes every known dlcs' content from ever other game to exist in the past decade or two.… Expand

    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.

    Capcom really put their heart and soul into this massive expansion. the monsters are even better than the base game's monsters already and I haven't even seen all of them yet. This is how an expansion should be treated, with fan service and dedication to their game. And they nailed it.

    Everything you might want as a fan of the base game. Tons of new content (with more on the way in the upcoming months!). Also - it seems to run noticeably better now (at least on PS Pro). The only negative I can think of - not a lot of unique weapon designs unfortunately. Still, an easy 10.

    If you loved World, you are going to love this. Plenty more monsters, plenty more weapons and armour sets to craft. Guiding Lands is fun and you can spend hours in there just wanting to hunt one more monster.

    The only drawback I’ve found is jumping into guiding lands with randoms or firing an sos from guiding lands doesn’t always work out. Lots of times I’ve jumped into a guiding lands and the session dies immediately or after a single monster hunt. Likewise, I’ve had people join and it not been the monster they want so leave the session. This issue can be solved by playing with friends or lfg.

    The graphics, great, monsters are really fun and challenging, the story is ok but nothing special, that’s not what I play this for though. The grinding, crafting and build diversity is what makes this game so satisfying and there is tons of it. I’ve hit master rank 130 and I’m yet to augment my weapons. That’s how much playtime this thing has before you can get a fully optimal build. Want to do this with every weapon? You’re looking at hundreds of hours.

    You really get your money’s worth. There are no loot boxes, and devs constantly add new content for free. A true masterpiece of a game, for what it sets out to do, it nails.    … Expand

    This is amazing, The rest of the industry should be ashamed with how good this expansion is. The amount of content, Capcom lives to the MH game by adding G rank again and Its better than ever, Going to love going through all the content iceborne offers.

    If you have world its a no brainer, if you don't... get world.

    This expansion makes every DLC of any other game feel ashamed. The added content is massive and without exaggerating doubles the original game content. It is a must for everyone who loved the base game and is looking for challenge, new monsters, sick designs and a story that even if not the main focus of a MH game has some nice twists.

    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.
