    First of all, I have been playing Monster Hunter since Tri came out. I have followed the series throughout the years and the series has only gotten better.

Compared to the previous games MH World has completely revolutionized the Monster Hunter series. They have created an intricate ecosystem with competing monsters and countless ants crawling everywhere. I was expecting a bland, open map full of pretty bushes and some birds flying above. However, i was proved wrong, there are so many things! And you can abduct them and throw them in your home as well! The massive, polished map this game provides completely blew me away.

    Throughout the series, combat has gotten more fluid (especially in MH Generations) but it always remained a little clunky. (Ignoring the fact that the controls are complete ass and you can't change them). Once you get used to the controls, the combat seems a lot more smooth, making it satisfying to land devastating combos on a massive wyvern yearning for your blood. The Great Sword, which used to feel kinda clunky is a lot more fluid, with multiple combos that flow well into each other, making feel bad ass after landing a fully charged combo on a monsters tail. The bow has changed as well. Although undermined by the newly added slinger, the bow still proves to be a fun weapon (noticed they made it more mobile and powerful). However, the guns are so boring, there is nothing special about them. They feel clunky, slow and under powered. Especially the heavy bow gun, been like this since the beginning. But this is just an opinion, you might take a liking to the bow gun.

    For all you Monster Hunter fans out there, this is a must buy. However, for players that search for an immersive story that provides many hours of entertainment, you will be somewhat disappointed. The game's story is like an ocean that's one foot deep. When you open the game, you are kinda thrown into the story with barely any context and you chase some big dragon (won't reveal more than that). If story is what you are looking for, turn away. This game is mainly based on hunting monsters, not the story behind them.

    Some players are saying that the combat is sluggish, weapons feel clunky, and it's for little kids??? For new players combat will definitely feel a little sluggish as you mindlessly spam two buttons for the first few hours. But you will soon discover that the combat is extremely complicated, providing a huge learning curve. Once you get the hang of these combos you will feel like a bad ass monster hunter. For some reason, I have been noticing reviews stating that the game is for little kids. I must admit, the game does have some weird Japanese **** that appeals to it's main fan base. But as soon as you have a monster eat you out like an Oreo you realize that this game ain't cute at all. This is real **** and your'e gonna piss your pants when you fight the final boss, trust me.

    So far, I have been very impressed with the game. However, I have noticed, if you pay some attention, on the Xbox One the game is kinda blurry (thought I was going blind for a second). Not to much of an issue, only makes me more hyped for the PC version. You probably won't notice unless you look really hard as well. I still can't get over how bad the controls are. Hopefully they do something about that.

    Biggest thing about this game is that they decided not to ruin the game with pay-to win content, loot boxes and cosmetic bull****. Gotta respect that decision. A company that actually listens to it's players.

    TL;DR

    Pros
    This game has massive, well-polished worlds.
    Complicated yet fluid combat.
    Scary monsters.
    NO LOOT CRATES!!!

    Cons
    Controls are **** and you can't change them.
    Kinda blurry if you pay enough attention.
    A shallow story.

    Game would be a 10, but the controls really killed it for me.    … Expand

    Don't let the troll reviews scare you away. They are not true MH players. The game is so much better now than it ever was. The controls and camera have never been better. Combat is extremely fun and rewarding. No fight will be like another, there is no set choreograph dance you have to perform

    CHECK IT IF YOU'RE NEW TO THE SERIES AND WANT A DEEPER SUMMARY OF WHAT YOU'RE GETTING, WITH YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY.

    For first i wanna say that, this is my first review ever on Metacritic. I created an acc just for this game. I'll be crystal clear with you from the start. YES the game is more simplified than the previous entries! YES there are a lot of conviniences in many categories.    CHECK IT IF YOU'RE NEW TO THE SERIES AND WANT A DEEPER SUMMARY OF WHAT YOU'RE GETTING, WITH YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY.

    For first i wanna say that, this is my first review ever on Metacritic. I created an acc just for this game.

    I'll be crystal clear with you from the start. YES the game is more simplified than the previous entries! YES there are a lot of conviniences in many categories. But do those changes ruin the fun? NOT in a thousand years. Most of those conveniences make the game better and less tedious, like for example, do you remember the time when you were trying to get an Anjarath's pelt and the damn thing couldn't drop it? Now, after your first encounter with any monster, you unlock investigation quests with those monsters, where the BETTER materials drop after a successful hunt. So yeah, i can't understand from where all these 0 are coming from...

    Now that i've put that aside, let's talk about the graphics and how the game performs. The locations are looking great! The new engine flatters both the monsters(which look BETTER THAN EVER) and their ecosystem as well, with nice touches. The armors look great and the weapon effects are just epic!
    As long as the performance goes. I'm playing on a normal PS4 and except of some minor fps drops, the game is 100% playable. Whoever is going to play on a pro, will enjoy it even more for sure.

    Last i wanna talk about ALL the stuff, that weren't in the beta! And i wanna give a message to the newcomers who left the beta with a dissapointment in their hearts. So ''listen'' to me carefully. The beta had only ONE type of quest and that was the HUNTING quests. Also it had a few amount of weapons and armor. They never introduced you(and that's logical) all the things that make the MH series so freaking amazing. There are numerous types of quests that you can choose from! Hunting quests, Capture quests, Investigations, Gathering quests and much more. There is a HUB area where you can communicate with up to 16 players and play together(up to four players). There is a ''wiki'' IN the game which lets you see more and more info of the monsters you kill/capture in your hunts. There is a harvesting system. There are guilds and squads. I can talk for days of how LONG and DEEP are all the mechanics and systems. It has even a freaking ''story'' this time around with many cut scenes for keeping the new players even more interested. The gameplay plays smoothly and the animations were redone for this entry of MH in the current gen of consoles.

    Verdict: I give it a STRONG 9/10 because of its great and improved mechanics, its huge content, its great graphics and for the FUN this game knows to give the best from everything else out there. I cut one point only for the slow start and its simplifying mechanics which i understand that they can make the veteran players feel a little ''betrayed''.

    OH... Also... NO microtransactions man!    … Expand

Graphics are fantastic, combat feels smooth and responsive, and the every system and mechanic seems meaningful and deep. The story is decent, and makes for a nice backdrop for the never ending hunt for bigger monsters and better loot. The sum of all the changes from previous MH titles gives the game a broader audience which, I think, is exactly what the developers wanted. Some veterans will complain, but I will argue that every change is for the better. The gameplay is very addicting, and if you are a fan of action games or rpgs you need to get in on this. If you are on the fence about this one - buy it! You will not regret it. See you on the hunting grounds!… Expand

    I would've given perfect score if they didn't make me read that much of tutorials (the first hour is the most tedious thing, it's an RPG but still a lot of reading) and not having constant 60 fps on PS4 pro is a little outdated.

    Other than those two, the game is absolutely worth every penny. I recommend this game to anyone who loves adventure game. Play with friends, build a guild or join one, and share your adventure to the world, these will double the fun and increased the value of the game by ten folds. Keep on hunting!

The graphic is stunning, the map in the game is really well design but one of the thing that I wanted to complement the most is the new eco system in the game. Monster have different interaction with each other depending on the situation and it makes the game more lively as ever compare to the previous installation. Monster in the game is well design and there are variety of weapons classes to choose from depending on your play style. Character customization is pretty good and the game did really well into making the game world feels really submissive to the players, they are time where I loss track of how many hours just by playing the game.

    The reason why this game didn't get a higher score from me is because the game tend to be very repetitive at times. Trying to get material for your higher classes armor could be a chore, there are times where you need to kill the same monsters over and over again just to hope it drop the materials you need in order to craft your desire weapon which could be really tiring for some people. In my case, there was a time where I had to fight the same elder dragon for no less then 15 times in order to get one of the missing crafting item I needed.

    Overall it's a really good game but fall short in some of the department like the amount of monster had decrease compare to the previous game and could be a little too grindy for some of the newer players or causal players. All and all its a solid game and I give it a 8/10.    … Expand

What makes you stronger is the improving skills of yours. On this point, it's very like dark souls series.

    Although this game has evolved many generations, but it remains its core. Many of the weapons, icons, monsters, they all form a unique system you would never see in other games. This is why I like Japanese made games, each one of this is unique, gameplay presides over stories and graphics.

    First and foremost is the games tutorials are not in-depth enough, many game mechanics are not explained in enough detail, or simply not explained at all. Another major issue lies with the janky controls, especially noticeable with weapons like the greatsword or anything that has a slow attack, get used to swinging wildly and missing especially with new players until you get more of a feel for the attack and combo system which can make the game frustrating for new players.

    The level of frustration MHW can bring rivals that of the Dark Soul series, you'll die - - a lot, sometimes it is the fault of the player for simply not being prepared, other times you'll die in a very BS fashion such as an APEX level monster appearing during your hunt and catching you unaware and one shotting you, during a hunt - a million things could go wrong, especially if you are not equipped properly.

    Glitches and bugs luckily so far, are minimal but I've noticed multiple FPS drops on vanilla PS4s, another issue I've personally found is the targetting constantly unlocking from your target forcing you to constantly re-lock onto your target, this aspect gets annoying - another problem is related to the tracking flies not tracking properly, or disappearing and not following the target, especially during large monster hunts where it seems to get confused.

    The gameworld is rich, with a intense level of detail right down to ants sometimes walking around - there are many item sets to collect, many weapons to master and enough content to keep everyone happy, whether you prefer playing solo and co-op, there is something for you here.    … Expand

I have been enjoying the series. I have played at least hundreds of hours and even over a thousand hours on PSP MH:3G as I was still a student then and kept hunting with fellow hunters in Cafes and McDonald. The most recent one I played was MH:XX on switch. It was great, I enjoyed it. I can see that CAPCOM have been putting effort trying to implement new monsters, new maps, new weapons, new systems. The style and the skill system I experienced in MH:XX was like a big wow to me. It was not the best and some aspects might be imbalanced. But I really appreciated the possibility of experimenting on different play style. The armor set, style, skills and weapons combinations have so many variations. Of course I understand at the end there are a few combinations that works very well and you can see all the "clones" online.

    The point I am trying to make is MHW seems like taking a step back for me. Don't take me wrong, I love the game. The environment looks gorgeous and interactive. There are a lot of new dragons to be hunted. The hunter is more agile and the animations are smooth. The there is a weapon tree for weapon upgrades and can be down graded. What I really don't like is stripping out the style system. Now I can't see those weird build like aerial lancer anymore. Not mention the armors are not as cool looking as before in my opinion ....
    The game is easier in general with new tracking system and hunter is able to cancel potion drinking. I believe this is more friendly to new comers and I don't really mind if a game is easy to learn but with high skill cap. Despite the monster tracking system, I don't like the item tracking system. The fireflies making stuff glows kind of makes me feel like I am a retard. I mean people will learn where items are in time, there is no need highlight them like that. I guess the foot prints are hard to spot so I am fine with that.
    For those people who complained about grinding or being repetitive, you can inhale my D___. I play monster hunter because it is fun to hunt dragons with friends. Monster Hunter series were known to be repetitive, there are endless dragons for hunters to hunt. Most missions can be done over and over again. I can say the same thing to whole lot of the games. CoD and Battlefield are just shoot shoot shoot , you die , you respawn , shoot shoot shoot again. Mario are like you run , you jump , collect starts/suns/moons. Winnings and FIFA are 2 teams chasing and kicking the ball. DotA and LOL are 2 teams killing each other and destroying towers every game.
    If you don't find the repetitive part of the game fun, you can walk away but please don't trash talk in the reviews. Games I mentioned above are fun because of the repetitive part is fun. Players can have fun over and over again with or without friends. I simply can't believe how stubborn people is to say grinding and repetitive as cons in review. Just imagine every mission can only be done once. Also every dragon can only be killed once and they are gone forever. Just unbelievable.    … Expand

If you're new to the game then you probably should wait more than 24 hours to give the game a fair assessment. There are decision points when to do that powerful combo or when to hold back. The grind of this game is far superior than any other game. The labor matches the reward. The other thing I'm extremely fond of is the idea that I take this weapon and I make decision points I can't take back to progress my gear through a massive tech tree. But the game is also forgiving in that sense, I can always create the first weapon of the tech tree and make new decisions and have a completely different outcome. I think all newcomers to the Monster Hunter genre need to take a step back and fully digest the game instead of making an assessment after 24 to 48 hours, you have a lot of catching up to do. For the veterans that gave this game a 0, also step back from your elitist ways and think about the evolution of gaming. Walking and drinking or eating is a real life thing people can do, why not make that part of the game itself instead of keeping a game in a box that was created over 15 years ago. Also if you haven't made it past HR 8 when you made this assessment you probably should double back on it and fight some of the latter monsters the game has to offer, fights get pretty intense when fighting one monster and another monster appears well above your current gear level. Same thing for scout flies, I like that when I progress up and hunt the monster several times it gets easier with the scout flies, so what if they show you plants and other items, if you think the game is calling you dumb then you need to go to your bathroom mirror and tell yourself that not everything is about you and to stop taking things so personal. I hope this game continues to draw in a large crowd, I'm tired of games that never have purposeful endgame in sight. I could seriously see this game holding my attention for a very long time. I've had a very hard time not getting distracted with building more gear over progressing story.… Expand

    For be best Monster Hunter is MH4U, but not with better graphics, quicker mechanics and massive content finally for Home Consoles, it's just a dream come true.
    Yes it is easier then good old MH. Yes it does not have G-rank unfortunately. But it's still Monster Hunter, bigger, better and more awesome. Here it goes another few hundreds hours of my life ...

    This game is all about learning. Learning your weapon of choice, your environment, your target, and overcoming it with pure skill. Then you forge stronger weapons, better armor, and move on to harder enemies.

You    This game is all about learning. Learning your weapon of choice, your environment, your target, and overcoming it with pure skill. Then you forge stronger weapons, better armor, and move on to harder enemies.

    And enemies are king here. With numerous monsters to hunt, each with its own quirks strengths and weaknesses, learning how they act and how to best them, is part of the fun. You might not be able to avoid being attacked at first, but eventually you learn the tells, and know how much to push before retreating to safety. Monster interact between themselves, and it's common to go on a hunt for a monster, and a stronger monster attacking that monster, creating a dynamic turf war.

    You have plenty of tools at your disposal that let you control the flow of the fight though. Most monsters will flee if pelt in the head with a dung bomb for example. Maybe you want to stop a monster from flying away, a flash bomb would be perfect. You can even lay traps and lure monsters with fresh meat that you laced with your poison on tranquillisant of choice. Just make sure the monster is a carnivore - a Diablos won't care for meat for example. Like I said, learning each monster is part of the game.

    There are 14 weapon styles and literally hundreds of weapons to chose, each beaving closer to a fighting game, than an action game. There are a few combos and a "super" on each weapon, so you get an added layer of skill. It's not just about spacing and timing. Weapons might have elements, so choosing the right weapon for the hunt can make the whole difference. Take your water sword if you are hunting a fire dragon. Armor, likewise, has natural resistances and weaknesses, so careful selection of gear might make all the difference between surviving a barrage of attacks. Skill is still king though, the best players will often fight "naked", to show off how well they mastered that monster.

    There is no RPG levels here. You only get stronger by the equipment you create and use. You'll only do as much damage as the sword you have equipped, and your skill permits. So there is a natural progression to the game. You slay a monster, carve his parts and move on to harder monster, with better weapons and armor made of those parts.

    The game has so many systems, it's easy even for veterans to lose themselves, so it tries not to overwhelm you initially. It brings new concepts and systems one at a time, with stuff to learn even when you already put 50 hours into the game.

    The game supports up to 4 players in a co-op mission, with a 16 player lobby. This is where monster hunter starts to shine. Hunting in multiplayer has the difficulty adjusted, so the monster will be slightly harder, but likewise, 4 hunters do more damage than just 1. Weapon diversity in the party will usually work best, as each weapon might excel at one task, but be mediocre at other.

    The game looks stunning. We finally get to see all those monsters, weapons and armors in current gen detail, and it's glorious. Framerate is unlocked in the 3 graphical choices you are given (on the PS4 Pro), which can be a minor complaint for some people, it personally didn't bother me.

    There are a few minuscule negative points I feel compelled to bring up though, and they all seem like hereditary problems. Old Monster Hunter games split single player and multiplayer missions. Not MHW, although it only lets you start the multiplayer mode for a story mission after you saw a cutscene in single player. This is cumbersome and unnecessary, but it can be worked around. Stuff like guild card list, works as a secondary friends list, and is completely unnecessary in the console versions. It comes from a time when consoles didn't have a friend list to begin with, and it made sense back then. Right now, there is no reason to be implemented as it is.

    I feel I barely described this game, but I certainly would recommend everyone to at least try it. For hardcore gamers, this is a must.    … Expand

It was a beloved game and the developers continued to make more series that turned into a great franchise. Monster Hunter is the definition of "pride and accomplishment" when you capture or slay a monster. However, the series seems to be in its shadow because not a lot of people have ever heard or talked about Monster Hunter. As time went by, the developers tried its hardest to get people to notice the series, but it never worked since their launch with Nintendo. They released one of their series on the Wii U and 3DS for Westerners to try, but it did not succeed as the developer hoped for because not a lot of people were talking about it. Jump into 2017, and the developers took a great big step forward to reveal the new Monster Hunter World to the current gen consoles and it finally got the audience’s attention. If you love grinding with no money grabbing practices, then this is the game for you.

    60 hours into the game which makes it eligible for me to write this review. I will sort out different sections about gameplay, story, and visual. In that case, here is my review of Monster Hunter World.

    Gameplay: While playing Monster Hunter World, I think the developers did a great job throwing in-depth tutorial screens because there will be players who are new to the franchise by explaining how to play, craft, progress, and upgrade. I must give props to Monster Hunter by releasing YouTube videos and explaining each of the different weapon types before release. In addition, to letting players have access and test out all the different weapon types at the training room that includes combo instructions. I was impressed with all the weapon types because they are all unique in their own way. The crafting system is simple and not overwhelming. I liked Palicoe AI system to be as your sidekick. I personally like the different kinds of gadgets they have to help you on the hunt, but sometimes they don’t respond if you want to manually activate their gadget, so the majority of the time you’ll be spamming to activate it. Monster Hunter World also allows you to go on an expedition, which makes the player explore around and fight monsters with no time limit. The online session is responsive. In addition, you could also have the option to enjoy the game in solo mode. If internet connection not your thing, then you could play it offline. Is it fun playing alone? Of course! Is it fun playing online with friends? Absolutely! Mounting a monster always satisfies me.

    Story: There was only one minor flaw that I would address, but that shouldn't be a big deal which is the lip syncing during a cutscene. Overall, the story is a bit engaging at least for me. I will not spoil the game for you if you want to be surprised by every monster you encounter, but I will say that I personally enjoy all cutscenes that I came across because the majority of them just makes your character look like a badass.

    Visual: The atmosphere and the environment are just gorgeous. I was stunned by the beautiful ecosystem and looking at what's around me. Everyone at the hub area matters and they have their own personalities. You will enjoy every cutscene you encounter because the majority of them just makes your character look like a badass. I personally cannot get enough on how adorable the Palicoes are. You too will adore them once you take them out on a quest or an expedition. In addition, the Canteen cutscene is just enjoyable to see as you watch the Palicoes cook you a big meal before your hunt. Note: You will constantly be visiting to the Canteen before your hunt because for new players it is a way to upgrade your stats.

    Conclusion: This game deserves a 9/10. It would’ve been a perfect 10 if they made a more compelling story, but I enjoyed playing this game. It can be complex but that should never be a reason why players hate the game. The only thing newcomers should hate or complain about is the repetitiveness, the constant chases, and the combat. If those are the reasons, then I assure you that is not the case. Don't expect it to be like Dark Souls or Bloodborne because Monster Hunter handles it very differently. They may have similarities at some levels, but this is a grinding RPG game, so you are expected to be going back to the same monster to gather more material to craft better weapons, armor, or charm. If you don't like the grinding or RPG then this game is not for you. If you are interested in it and willing to put the time and effort, then this is the game for you. This is my first review and I want to thank you for your time reading this in-depth review.

    1)My favorite way to play the game is solo. I hate that online play is pushed and shoved down my throat. 2)The "story" is weak and the characters are uninteresting. 3)The worst disappointment is the open world. Yes, it's bigger, and more visually satisfying, and there are more nooks and crannys to explore, but this game IMO is not a true open world game. You cannot go anywhere you like. Essentially this is the old system of areas, but the areas are bigger and more detailed. The areas are still numbered, and you still have boundaries around each one. The difference is that you don't cut from one area to another. You have to actually walk or run from one to the other. An open world game to me means that if you see a location on the map that is inside the map you should be able to go there, and that isn't true here. There are points that cannot be climbed or descended, so you can't get just anywhere you care to go.

    All the complaints aside Monster Hunter is the best video game franchise I have played, and nothing has been done to put a dent in that. The endless number of collectibles, and the complexity and strategy around how to attack the monsters is still there, and presents an engaging challenge. There are some improvements too. I love the loadouts in the menu system. It's terrific to be able to create a loadout, so that I don't have to re-think each quest's provisions.

    I guess one good thing about the poorly executed open world is that it give the franchise somewhere to go for the next entry.    … Expand

    MH has always being clunky with the PVP, but in every game they try to make it more fun or useful which is something that is appreciated from capcom. In this game is confusing but it is not bad at all... just need some adjustments. I don't get the 16 ppl room if you can only go to quests with 4 of them.

    The only thing that I am disappointed at, is that the game feels so easy than in the previous games. I remember just getting all the types of healing potions and debuff stuff... now I just leave with 10 potions, 10 mega potions and I don't even use them.

    Overall the game is perfect for MH veterans because it brings lots of new stuff for us, gameplay is the same that we love with major adjustments, but for new ppl I feel is just another game.    … Expand

People are resistant to change, and that's understandable. The game looks and plays much better than any other Monster Hunter. Not really that much more accessible to newcomers, nice try Capcom. Monsters are astoundingly well designed, and so are the environments. Only time will tell if the end-game is up to snuff, but so far so good. If you've never touched a Monster Hunter game before, the odds of you liking it are pretty much just as up in the air as they were before this one. If you do drop $60 on it, I hope you enjoy it, 'cause I sure do. Have fun.… Expand

There are several mechanics that are not addressed in the tutorial, and while the game rushes you to keep completing main quests, it never explains the better methods to grind and collect crafting materials. The investigations, expeditions, and bounties are not highlighted enough, and that's where most of your time will be spent. I didn't discover the ecologist researcher until about hour 15, and he is vital to progressing your monster hunting skills.

    For a new player unfamiliar with these features, like myself, it was frustrating and repetitive in the beginning since I kept doing side quests over, and over, and over again to acquire the crafting materials I needed.

The story is very basic and yes the game isn't going to be for everybody, but I really enjoy the going out and hunting monsters then using what I gain from them to craft better gear. Each monster is unique with different attacks and you need to use strategy to figure out how to take the monster out. To give an example, prior to hunting a certain monster you need to track it and gather information about it. Then as you prepare for battle you need to think about things like do I have any pieces of armor that may protect me from the certain types of attack this particular monster uses, do i have enough health potions, does the monster use poison and if so do I have antidotes made, what weapon will I use, do I want to focus on a specific type of damage, if I eat before what stats do I want buffed so I can select the appropriate meal, what side tools do I need such as do I want something that can stun a monster with a flash of light? Is it an area with lots of monsters where I may want a tool to drive off other monsters who may jump into the middle of the fight etc? Do i want to bring traps to make an attempt to capture the monster? You inventory that you take with you is limited space so its best to pack according to the particular hunt. What areas of the monster are weak points and what are they weak to? Is there a way to minimize the monster's special attacks via targeting certain areas of the monster's body or using specific attacks? What about the environment? Are there things that could collapse and catch us in the middle of battle? Is there nearby wildlife that will jump into the fight? Are there nearby plants or animals who if triggered in a fight will create issues? How can I use the environment against the monster? Then assuming I kill the monster and carve it up I take those components and see what I can make in terms of gear for the next monster and the cycle continues. Its incredibly addicting and there is sooo much more to it than just this very brief and vague description. The combat can feel a bit clunky but this is not a game for button mashing. This is a game where you pick your spots, where you observe your opponent and anticipate its moves and then strike when there is an opening to do damage. Almost every fight is a boss fight. Between the crafting, the looting, the gathering, the combat and all the quests its quite a bit of content and works well together. If you are on the fence about this game I'd recommend picking it up. If you do not have a long attention span and want a game you can finish in 30 hours then this is not the game for you. This is a game that requires a commitment to learn (the game only explains the very basics so you will need to go online and watch videos etc to really learn how to be the best with your chosen weapon- it most certainly is not game that will hold your hand but it does a decent job of providing the very basics to get started) and have your character grow with. I'm really enjoying my time with it and I was deeply hesitant at first. There is a ton of content for the value.Ignore the low scores of 0 or 2. Even if this game is not your cup of tea the game still deserves well above those scores. Its not a perfect game but it is very enjoyable and is a contender for one of the top games of 2018.… Expand

    This is by far the best Monster Hunter title yet. But there are some new issues despite some great quality of life improvements.

    Little things like being able to move and use items is a very welcome addition, but takes away some of the crucial decision making that was part of the fun.

    Merging single player and multi player was a great idea but the execution is very flawed. You can only see quests posted in your session (max of 16 players) and in order to find anything other than the one or two that show up you have to search for an SOS flare. These quests are usually fine but I have dropped into a bunch of hunts where they are on their last continue only to fail the mission as soon as I get loaded in and make it to the fight.

    With being able to harvest most resources just by walking by them and a quick press of the button, the scout flies are a great addition to help spot the now bountiful amount of harvesting points. It's also incredibly fun to do the initial tracking of the monster with them. But they've also aided in dumbing down some other elements of the series, as once you've found the monster they can always guide right whereit went. So you no longer need to paint the monster to keep track of it once if flees.

    Finally moving to the more powerful hardware and making the maps one giant local as opposed to 10 - 15 small rooms is amazing. The areas feel fast and alive.

    Overall, this is what the series needed albeit still with some fine tuning still. Pick this game up. It will eat up all your time.    … Expand

Com um ótimo sistema de crafting, uma infinidade de missões a serem feitas sendo elas opcionais ou não e uma narrativa interessante, certamente ele irá atrair o público mais pelas suas qualidades que por seus defeitos.

    O que mais brilha no jogo são as cutscenes. São muito bem desenvolvidas, e qualquer interação vale ser assistida. É muito divertido ver os gatinhos sendo seu Master Chef preparando sua refeição. Essa refeição aumentará seus atributos por um limite de tempo. Neste caso dependendo da escolha no menu, poderá ter maior resistência contra algum tipo de poder ou aumentar seu life. As Cutscenes mostram tanto eles fazendo seu cardápio suculento quanto o ferreiro também mostra uma equipe empenhada em melhorar seus pertences. Isso faz com que o jogo seja mais imersivo e você se sinta realmente em algo mais realístico.

    Outra coisa interessante é a forma como alguns monstros ainda são desconhecidos para a equipe de pesquisa. Após terminar a missão, se faz necessário, até por bom censo, passar na equipe de pesquisa ecológica pra avisar sobre os novos monstros que estão habitando ecossistema. Ali, o 'biólogo', por assim dizer, poderá encontrar respostas para o mundo misterioso no qual se encontra, e que está passando por um certo holocausto. Exemplo disto é que a equipe de biólogos sequer tinha conhecimento de um monstro, aparentemente um boss, chamado Pukei-Pukei. Deu um trabalho da porra matar esse bicho, mesmo com a ajuda de meu amigo Rafael. Enquanto ele estava de posse de um espadão enorme, eu ficava com uma arma de disparo de longa distância, assim, preferi manter a integridade de nossa 'heroína'.    … Expand

I typically don't like a lot of change in games like this since the base formula is so entertaining. With that in mind, I am really enjoying this game but there are definitely some downsides. Some points:

    -Quality of life changes are extremely abundant. Some are very welcomed such as the Hunter Notes being an ingame wikipedia after a few hunts of whatever monster you are farming, whereas others are unnecessary and make the game easier than it already is.
    -Low Rank monsters have extremely low health and their parts are easily broken. However, their damage output is still substantial.
    -Weapons have new combo strings which makes each weapon type even more interesting.
    -Maps no longer have loading between zones and have a ton of verticality. You interact with the wildlife and the environment in a number of ways which makes you feel immersed and connected.
    -All but one of the new monsters have unique and interesting designs. Each fight is extremely entertaining.
    -Load times between the online lobby, the town itself, and preparing/departing on missions can get lengthy at times on a base PS4 (not pro).
    -The weapon trees are a little limiting in terms of planning your upgrade path. Further upgrades aren't even shown until you 'unlock' that level of the tree.
    -Armor skills give the skill innately instead of having to add up to (handicraft needed 10 points to get +1 sharpness before, now you just need an armor with handicraft to get +1 sharpness). Some skills have multiple ranks. Overall, it is much easier to get the skills that you want.

    The game is extremely fun once you get past the first few hunts and start facing more formidable foes and get the hang of the new systems. If you are a fan of the older games, keep an open mind going into this one as it is certainly easier but the difficulty picks up substantially at HR. If you are a newcomer, take your time in the beginning and find a weapon you enjoy.    … Expand

    Monster Hunter: World is a very fun time-killing game worth anyone's time. It features multiple different monsters, an (almost) overwhelming supply of different weapons and upgrades for them, as well as an evolving game that changes to reflect your skill growth and gear upgrades in the game.

    For anyone who doesn't know, Monster Hunter's core gameplay mechanics are gathering and hunting,    Monster Hunter: World is a very fun time-killing game worth anyone's time. It features multiple different monsters, an (almost) overwhelming supply of different weapons and upgrades for them, as well as an evolving game that changes to reflect your skill growth and gear upgrades in the game.

    For anyone who doesn't know, Monster Hunter's core gameplay mechanics are gathering and hunting, and not much else. You run around in five different places on this continent each varying in size, gather materials to craft all sorts of consumable items used to craft ammunition for weapons, potions, or buffs, as well as items used to negate status effects and more. This is it. There are 30 unique monsters (31 with the coming addition of an MH veteran, the Deviljho), each one with their own attack patterns and weaknesses.

    This game's controls do feel a bit clunky at first, but this game's mechanics makes you a better player for it - If there were any points in the game that made me feel as if they were inevitable, I improved my understanding of the dodging and other animations, and these moments disappeared.

    Monster Hunter: World's weapon variety is a little bit lacking, however. If you're looking for individual weapon models for each and every upgrade, you'll be disappointed. Most weapons of the same tree look the same until the latter weapon upgrades, and even then there's little variety to be found until upgrading into weapons that are designed from specific monsters. Graphically, this game is also a little lacking. Running off of the same engine that ran the very first Dead Rising means that there is not a lot of optimization - frame rate can drop on the non-pro PS4, and while I cannot say that it is better or worse on the Xbox as I do not own one, I can expect that it is not much different. That being said, this game's graphics are very pretty for what they are. It will not impress many people looking for the best graphics consoles can see, but it is more than acceptable for casual play.

    One of the largest problems people have with this game is the fact that it is very grindy, and this is a fair argument. With the main objective of the game being killing or capturing monsters, carving their corpses, using those materials to craft better equipment to kill more monsters, there is not a lot of gameplay variety outside of a few different types of quests involving gathering or killing a specific amount of the endemic creatures.

    All in all, this game is a very good game worth peoples' money if they believe that this game is for them. The game is a much more accessible Monster Hunter compared to past games of handheld fame. For people that enjoy just chilling out and nonstop boss fights, this game is for them. Multiplayer, while a little bit tedious as it requires cutscene viewing to set up, is a very good experience, and this game is perfectly catered towards single-player gameplay as well.    … Expand

    Pros:

    -Fantastic Visuals and great variety of biomes
    -UI has been vastly improved
    -Many annoying features from prior entries have been ratcheted down or eliminated
    -Levels now have lots of verticality to them, which makes exploring much less linear
    -Crafting involves less grinding than in the past
    -The game main quests are a lot more fun and focus on killing big monsters, rather than gathering mushrooms, for example, like in other entries (but there are still quests for that if you want)
    -Voice acting and music are good
    -Challenge ramps ups just about right and combat is about precision, combos, and timing rather than button mashing
    -Tons of great looking armor and weapons with unique passive skills attached to them in some cases, which adds a lot of depth to preparing to a hunt
    -Information needed to play the game is mostly included in the game!

    Cons

    -Lip Syncing does not match English voices (yes, we do deserve this) and it's not fully voiced (NPCs will do that Japanese thing of making a sound or a few words unrelated to their dialog text)
    -Animations are strange during some cut scenes sometimes (typical for Japanese games honestly)
    -UI, while improved, is still far behind Western games and clunky. Things simply don't work intuitively like they could.
    -Servers are unreliable for multiplayer and the rules/UI for multiplayer games are strange and obtuse.
    -Can be repetitive if you let it, but you can move on as well to the next hunt instead of grinding to alleviate the fatigue of grinding.
    -Some weapons feel vastly inferior to others in cost and skill required (may be personal preference)
    -Game has "garrison chores" like from World of Warcraft (some may like this, I don't)
    -You can (and probably should) eat before going out on a hunt (why is this in everything), but it doesn't require any effort other than a couple button presses, so it's more of a chore, albeit a short one. You can eat while on a hunt now, which is nice.
    -Lots of randomness in combat and important drops for crafting, which can be frustrating for some people
    -Short, but if you take your time and enjoy everything, I think the length was just fine.    … Expand

    MH stepped up it's game in this amazing rpg. The reworked MH from the ground up and it shows a lot of love and cars was put into the game. It's worth the price as you can get a ton of fun content out of the title.

    First of all - I BEG you do not click the negative reviews at this point (65 existing negative Reviews at the moment I am writing this), Those reviews are written by haters (0/10 - SUCKS! old game was so much better, this game isn't worth a single point!!!) and being who don't know and understand the franchise (Game is repetitive, you do the same thing over and over again, duh)

    Listen    First of all - I BEG you do not click the negative reviews at this point (65 existing negative Reviews at the moment I am writing this), Those reviews are written by haters (0/10 - SUCKS! old game was so much better, this game isn't worth a single point!!!) and being who don't know and understand the franchise (Game is repetitive, you do the same thing over and over again, duh)

    Listen up. You can criticize Gran Turismo for doing nothing else but racing. This is Monster Hunter and the game mechanic IS and will always be the same, just the Monster and Difficulty varies.

    So, having this out of the way, lets go to the Review.

    I am playing Monster Hunter since Monster hunter Freedom Unite on the PSP and having played every Installment since then and fighting now in High Rank on MHW, I can really say: This game is good. Pretty good.

    Most of the things that made the old MH tedious are gone. For good measure, they kept us some tedious things so we do not forget where the game comes from (I look at you, Egg delivery!) but the Game plays so much better and thanks to the new Engine is phenomenal to look at. The World you are hunting in looks so much more alive and vibrant - It is just beautiful to play this Game.

    The Difficulty Curve leaves a bit to be desired. You are stuck for a long time in Low Ranks which is a Cakewalk, before the High Rank Missions start, which are at least a bit difficult. At this point you are also unlocking the more complex crafting mechanics, so I wish the High Rank Features would have been in the game earlier. (Even though I think no one would have cared, since people rush into HR anyway).

    If I have to criticize this game then its it lack of monsters. Due to the fact its a new Engine, they had to do everything from scratch - Which causes the game to lack massively in content. But don't fear, you will still get your 100< Hours of Fun out of it and you will enjoy it - If you are into Action Adventures like Dark Souls and God Eater, of course.

    I would say it is a solid 9/10 , losing a point due to the mentioned issues. But beside that - Capcom, good game! Thank you.    … Expand

    Monster Hunter World sets out to simulate a living and breathing ecosystem, and absolutely nails it. Monster Hunter hasn't felt this fresh since Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, and it does that by not only returning to it's hunting roots, but also expanding that concept in a way the fans！

    This is amazing! No more no less.. A huge step in right direction, thank you Capcom!

    It's not a perfect game. For starters, the fact that it has a story but no one has an actual name, can be pretty distracting and more than a little jarring, especially when a character introduces themselves without using an actual name.

That said, MHW has the best gameplay of any game in this series to date, and the environments in it are a fresh change for the series as a whole. There's a reason it's sold as many units as it has, and that's because it deserves it. It's not a perfect game, but it's the best in it's series in almost every way, that's exciting.… Expand

    Aawww Yeah! Kickin' off 2018 with our first GoTY contender! Monster Hunter World is the best installment I've played and delivers on technicality for veteran hunters while being a great entry for newcomers.

    New to the series? Now is the time to hop in! Good luck and maybe we'll see each other on the field.

    Simply put, this game is amazing. The graphics and sound design really immerse you into the world of Monster Hunter.

    I can not be happier with this game, it has exceeded all my expectations. I came from MH4U, it's everything I wanted for the series and more. If you're new to the series, don't be scared. It is very friendly to new comers and gradually gets harder for those looking for a challenge. The skill cap for this game is practically limitless.

    A lot of effort was put into making this one of the very best JRPG's to date. This is definitely a must-buy if you love action, adventure, and fighting for the best loot.

    An excellent entry into the MH franchise. Strips out many of the pointless and counter-intuitive mechanics that plagued the previous games and replaces them with an experience that is more streamlined and readily enjoyable while still capturing much of the same spirit and theme of the previous games.

    As someone new to the series it is both exciting, rewarding and challenging. I love the upgrade system and diversity both within the same weapon type and across weapons. I feel like it is at a bad stage when we have to praise games that lack lootboxes but it also has that going for it, you actually get a complete game.

    Capcom has truly outdone themselves. They've managed to make a AAA Monster Hunter that stays true to the previous entries, while adding it's own unique flair. I've been a huge fan of the series for many years now and this is easily the best the series has to offer. Don't let all the people review bombing it deter you from this utterly fantastic game.

    this game is amazing, with new type of game play system and it has something we never see it in just one game (I think it is FAR Cry Series )which is ECO SYSTEM, when you see small monster eaten by mid size monster and so on and so forth it's freaking awesome.

    While I score it a perfect 10, there are things I would like to see improved and that is MORE content, in previous Monster Hunter games there have been more weapons and armor variety, a lot more monsters to hunt and I hope that capcom add this back with DLC, with Deviljho a good sign that we will be getting returning monsters, there are a lot of classic monsters that I would love to hunt in Monster Hunter World.    … Expand

    Honestly, if the Low and High Rank portions wasn’t as polished and an incredible experience to go through. This score would be 7/8 margin just because compared to previous games, the rotating event quests, RNG investigations for RNG loot, reduced weapon and quest pool, and less challenging solo player end game. But, with the incredibly constructed world, incredible combat experience, and cohesive experience, the downpoints are more just demands for more content.

    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.

    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]
