    Monster Hunter World is a 10 on 10 game
    But it's not Dark Souls so 9 out of 10!

Because crybabies from both sides (uaaaa the game is too hard vs uaaaa the game is too easy) have stopped MH from evolving in to home consoles of the previous and this generation. Wii U doesn't count, nobody bought it... So an advice to both sides, stop crying and support the game. If it is to hard for you get some friends or play online with others get better and you will love it, same case like Dark Souls. If you are elitist and its too easy for you then fight without armor and with basic weapons or make it as difficult as you want. Beat it with a GH guitar like Dark Souls if you are so elite. Remember if this is successful we will get more and better, that's how it goes. I love all MH games and I'm grateful i have this on my PS4 instead of my 3DS...… Expand

However in actual play these systems are rolled out to the player at such a natural and measured pace that the increase in complexity is almost imperceptible. It is also possible to completely ignore many of the systems when they are introduced until you are ready to engage with them. You won't be punished for ignoring some of the new things you are shown, so feel free to come back and revisit them whenever you want.

    Anyone can drop into this game and have a good time from the very beginning, assuming of course that you enjoy this sort of gameplay loop. Some would call it grindy, much like an ARPG or lootershooter, essentially you are killing things to get parts to craft gear to kill bigger things to get better parts and so on and so forth.

    All in all its a great game in its own right and for sure the best Monster Hunter game yet.    … Expand

    Monster Hunter i waited over ten years. Maybe its too easy till post game (tempered monsters) and simplified in some ways but still great and awesome in other aspects. Living world with plenty of details, great design and and never bore gameplay. Special attention to Palicos and turf wars. Second game of this generation (Bloodborne) and one best overall. Can't wait for bigger expansions.

    An incredible rich and varied game. It balances technicalities and statistics with gameplay that is awesome. you need to study the monsters and you need to vary the weapons and ammunition and keep sharpening your weapon etcetera.

    There’s no room for an eager hack-and-slasher player. Not dominating positioning, timing, and your own gear are a failsafe approach to get rekt on any MH game.

    Another staple of the franchise is the loot system and the grinding. You’ll see yourself battling the same monster 10, 15+ times to get that rare carve with 4% drop rate and targeting specific vulnerable parts to break them and raise the chance a little bit – but you’ll love every step of the way. Every fight feels fantastic as what differs in you killing a Rathalos in 28 min, using 10 mega potions and 10 potions, and you killing it with ease in 8 minutes with no need for heavy healing is your personal progress, your proficiency with your gear and reading the monster tells. The grinding treats you right.    … 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.

    Other than that, this is a very polished game, and one that if you're a fan of Action RPGs you must buy.    … Expand

The game has plenty of tutorial text that teach you how to play the game, while that may seem tedious, if you take it seriously you'll have a fantastic early experience. Story is good enough and enjoyable, and makes your character seem like a bad A. The Palico companions are a good comic relief and super cute, and i do not like cats so that's saying a lot. Now to the main meat of this... the game-play loop: It's perfect. The way the grind rewards it's players is how Destiny fans wish their game was. Every fight is a boss battle, situations constantly change, and you can affect what parts you are rewarded with by which part of the body you attack on the Monsters. The online sessions can be a little annoying, but for this to be the series first big entry on a new gen system with fantastic online capabilities, it's not worth complaining about since i've had no problems playing with friends when i want to.
    If you want a challenging game, a new series to get into, a game to grind, grind, and grind... and be rewarded for it... this game is for you. There is nothing more satisfying than landing a successful mount on a monster, or capturing one before time runs out. And with 14 different weapon types, traps, bait, armor, and skills there's not a play-style that's not in this game. To top all of this off, the soundtrack for the game is incredible and puts it all together.
    Do yourself a favor, pick up Monster Hunter: World and give it a good chance. Get through the very early game patiently and learn the core of the game, and you'll be addicted to the game... just like this guy who has never touched a Monster Hunter title previously.    … Expand

    Monster Hunter World is a Solo/Co-op based action RPG in which you hunt monsters with an option of 14 weapons with different movesets to obtain loot to build armor/weapons based on the monsters.

With MHW the graphics are for the first time upgraded giving a new look toMonster Hunter World is a Solo/Co-op based action RPG in which you hunt monsters with an option of 14 weapons with different movesets to obtain loot to build armor/weapons based on the monsters. The series originally started on PS2 and has moved on to other consoles while mostly retaining it's look and play-style. With MHW the graphics are for the first time upgraded giving a new look to the game. New mechanics are introduced, movesets are upgraded from previous games, and the game is updated for a more modern system.

    Story

    The game now actually has a story and while not necessarily a deep story it is certainly a start compared at previous games which had almost no story. The game has cinematic cut-scenes that showcase the monsters right before you start fighting them for the first time.

    Gameplay

    Combat is very different from many games which might initially put off players that are used to instantly responsive controls, dark souls games, or other action games. It might feel initially clunky as you get used to the combat. Some weapons are very slow and once you have pressed the button to attack there is no cancelling the attack. Every button press is a done deal and if you spam your way through it then you will be punished. There is no lock-on and you must aim all attacks in relation to where your character is facing. Each weapon has a varied moveset that must be practiced before one can finally start feeling comfortable with the weapon. At the beginning it feels weird but once you get the hang of it it's the best feeling ever.

    Mastering your weapon and predicting the moveset of the monster go hand in hand. Each monster has a specific tell that will give you insight at what kind of attack is going to perform. This expands to it's health as there is no health bar in Monster Hunter. The developers behind this game want you to use visual signs of a monster to predict it's health. If there are scars on it's body, if he starts getting tired and having trouble attacking, and if he starts limping trying to get some sleep are all actions that can use to determine the various stages of health left.

    Each monster has elemental weaknesses, weak spots, and specific strategies that can be employed to optimally deal damage to the monster. Some monsters are weaker to being stunned, paralyzed, poisoned, etc. Knowing your prey is the key towards being effective. To help you in your endeavor the game comes with a monster guide/encyclopedia that fills up with relevant info as you investigate the monster by examining their footprints or by slaying/capturing a monster. The hunter has access to traps, darts, tools, and other items that can maximize their performance on the hunt.

    The true point of this game is of course loot grinding. It's a cycle of beating a monster to obtain more powerful armor and weapons to challenge stronger monsters to then repeat the cycle. There are a great degree of weapons and armor available that can completely change how you play the game. Different parts of armors activate special skills that can make you hit harder, perform critical attacks, sharpen your weapon faster, increase your health bar, etc. Building armor configurations to fit your play-style is some of the things that make this game great.

    The game is designed on a quest-based/mission based manner in which you are given an objective. The most common objective is slaying or capturing a particular monster. By fulfilling the quest you receive quest rewards. If hunting a particular monster then the quest rewards are usually parts from the monster. These parts can be used to craft new armors, weapons, and other items.

    Multiplayer

    Monster Hunter has always been a multiplayer game starting all the way from PS2 when Online multiplayer was still beginning on PlayStation. Monster Hunter World supports cooperative multiplayer with up to 4 players. The monster health is scaled between one player and four players. The lobby rooms support up to 16 players. There are squad/guilds and you can also invite players via friend list.

    Conclusion
    MHW is a game that provides countless hours of entertainment. It is a fun game with a lot of different playstyles. Capcom has made it clear that they will continue to add new content for free while only charging for cosmetic stickers and gestures. While the game has some few mechanical flaws they not detract from the overall experience. While I believe the game isn't a 10 and instead a 9.2, some reviewers have been extremely harsh and inaccurate. As such I'll round off my review to a 10.

    If you are the a player that enjoys loot based combat with friends and don't mind learning the different gameplay then you will surelly enjoy this game. Give it a try. I'm sure most of you will enjoy it.    … Expand

    Capcom has been around for a long time. From Breath of Fire, Dino Crisis, Dragons Dogma, Lost Planet and Monster Hunter. Somebody at Capcom loves huge, epic monsters, dinosaurs and dragons of all types an varieties. Monster Hunter has been the premier franchise for chasing these beasts down and battling, but for years and years was relegated to portable systems. Nothing wrong with that,Capcom has been around for a long time. From Breath of Fire, Dino Crisis, Dragons Dogma, Lost Planet and Monster Hunter. Somebody at Capcom loves huge, epic monsters, dinosaurs and dragons of all types an varieties. Monster Hunter has been the premier franchise for chasing these beasts down and battling, but for years and years was relegated to portable systems. Nothing wrong with that, but for me I could never get into it. The small screen felt like it was a disservice to how incredible the creatures were and how grand the hunts could get.

    That's a problem no more. With Monster Hunter World Capcom finally brings its biggest franchise to the big screen and all of the depth, the nuance, and the monster hunter-ness of it all.

    The transition to the consoles isn't a direct 1 to 1 conversion. Monster Hunter world has made a lot of changes to appeal to the mass market. the game has so many quality of life improvements to every single aspect of it. From the crafting, the information on certain monsters, and the core gameplay itself. In game flies help you track monsters, maps are massive with no loading between small rooms, the entire game is polished and a lot of the guess work and tedium of the prior games is gone.

    Normally that is the kind of things to make veterans scoff. Dumbing down games is a major problem in today's market, with the appeal of the casual fan making some hardcore franchises incredible player friendly to the fault of the core game itself.

    Monster hunter avoids that problem entirely. They take all the info that was relegated to online searches and wikipedia and incorporated all of that into the game itself. Need to know what parts you need and from what monster? The likely-hood of certain mats compared to others, it's all in the game. The ins and outs of using weapons and some of the particulars to certain combos are all in the game. All of these quality of life changes alongside superb online, great visuals and a game in 2018 free of the dlc micro-transaction mess that has become so commonplace all add up to a fantastic experience.

    The best part of that is, it's all done without sacrificing depth. The gameplay is weighty, the hunts are intense and you can and will be defeated when you go against Rathalos or Diablos for the first time.

    That is also what makes this game so great, the first time you land a trap, mount and capture or kill a monster its a satisfaction that cant be explained. So try it for yourself, and see why Monster Hunter World is easily one of Capcoms best games in years, and one if not the best monster hunter in a very long time.

    - Slightly long loading time when starting every quest ( i guess that's the compensation for loading and prepping a border less map)

    Overall is a good quality game, recommended for people who looking good co-op experience, farming and challenging experience (late stage)

    Although there is some grind in the game (if you want to loot the rare carve that will allow you to craft the weapon you covet) it only makes you better at hunting the monsters.
    The various challenges will keep you occupied for a hundred of hours at the minimum.

    My score of 10 isn't overated, and i'll explain why.

    I used to be an unconditional fan of the monster hunter series (Monster Hunter, MHF, MHF2, MHFU, MH3, MH4U, MHG...) and now, Monster Hunter World (MHW). I felt kinda disappointed for the huge changes that were made with this title like the grind system, where you don't have to stand still waiting too much to collect than in the    My score of 10 isn't overated, and i'll explain why.

    I used to be an unconditional fan of the monster hunter series (Monster Hunter, MHF, MHF2, MHFU, MH3, MH4U, MHG...) and now, Monster Hunter World (MHW).
    I felt kinda disappointed for the huge changes that were made with this title like the grind system, where you don't have to stand still waiting too much to collect than in the previous, but most shocking is that you now don't have to take an eye on your inventory or crafting on the go for pickaxes, bug nests or anything.

    Difficulty is ridiculous easy, at least story missions, perhaps so damn easy for monster hunter veterans as me, where i'm not even in the need to carry anything from home to the quest (except for some specifically monsters where i prefer to capture them or they burst me because of my resistances). Camera still disgusts in some times.

    Although those major changes (and those minor changes that i don't mention), there are huge improvements in this title which makes me feel more like a lover than a fan.

    I've already played like 55-60 hours yet (starting on 26th January), and this is what I can say:

    Graphic improvements are simply awesome, now enviroments feel more live than ever. There's always something to do than just the main objective where you should pick up everything you see because for new players, you won't know when you will need them.

    There are a lot of new functions and mechanics, new maps (nothing recycled yet) which are gorgeous and amazingly huge. Now you find the game with plenty of tutorials, manuals and even a bestiary book, which makes it easier than ever to understand.

    You'll find your role here, no matter what, each weapon is well distinguished and there are no bad ways to play it, just better ways.

    The game itselft has an interesting story, multiplayer is the big point of the game where all the previous mentioned features become better.

    Main content shall give you at about 60-80 hours of playtime, which is worth the price by the way, but also you may try out optional content (missions) getting up to more than 300-400 hours (and i'm not crazy).

    DLC content will be completely free (regardless of cosmetic things) where you will find more new monsters (with its own armor and weapons i suppose), you'll be able to play event missions in coop with other Capcom titles (like the Horizon Event or the upcoming SFV) granting an interesting new experience by the way.

    By the way, this is the most I can say, after almost 60 hours, even I don't like some changes, I realize that they were made for better, a big step in the right direction, because there is nothing wrong in changing, it is wrong to get stuck in the same for ever and don't explore all the opportunities you have, what Capcom, in my opinion, did it somehow good enough to get my full score.    … Expand

    I didn't buy the game and would have never bought it myself, it was a present. The first 3-4 hours were really boring for me because I did not understand how to fight, what do the weapons do, how the monsters behave etc.

    It's incredible ho much grinding is in this game. I have played more than 60 hours in the last 2 weeks and I just love to hunt, gather stuff and grind in this game. There is nothing I hate more than grinding in most games but it's something very satisfying about the mechanics in Monster Hunter World.

    The weapons move and fight like in no other game. Holding the weapon in your hand feels like it actually has weight depending on the type of weapon and does what you would expect of that type of weapon. Many people say that the weapons are uncontrollable but I would say that it is only their lack of knowledge and skill that is uncontrollable. At first was having so much trouble controlling most of the weapons but then it clicked ! You start noticing what the monsters will do by the way they are moving, you learn their speed of attack, distance and you learn to time your attacks and movement. Dodging and then countering the monster's attack with an attack or series of attacks is just so satisfying. I started to play with a shield & sword until I learned how the fight goes and then tried all the other weapons. It is amazing how good some of the weapons feel in your hand.

    I never thought I would like this kind of game but it's truly awesome.

    It also has some problems too but for the most part the game is just awesome. I for instance would like to have motion controls/gyro aiming for the ranged weapons.

    I could understand why some people would not like the game but that is valid when speaking about every genre/game.

    Whatever it wants to achieve it does: hunt monsters and build equipment and your character in a very fun and satisfying way. Awesome job CAPCOM, you get a 10/10 from me !!! Totally worth the money especially since you can find it cheaper now than the release price. If I knew that the game would be so much fun I would have paid full price for sure.    … Expand

    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.

    Superb performance from day one. Huge world and breathtaking fights presented in a beautiful world. It is january 2018 and MHW might already have taken the game of the year throne. It is btw my first MH.

    Monster 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.

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

It's a game where the core component is gameplay that is supplemented by more widely acceptable visuals. If you judge this game because you think the game "looks" garbage then quite honestly you have some obscenely high standards that i'm pretty sure can't be satisfied. I mean Destiny 2 looked really nice but when you really look at it, there's still a tradeoff for those visuals like content, interactivity, etc. Don't just take a review at face value. Put your mind into it and really decide what YOU want in a game. if it isn't your kind of game then that's fine.… Expand

    It is my first seris of the monster hunter game and had some worries before buying this game. As soon as i hunted a first boss monster with my friends, my worries were already gone and a special feeling excited me which the game industry nowadays have been failing to make me feel that way. This game is a must buy game if you want to feel becoming better, overcome difficulties and great achivement.

    Monster Hunter World:
    1) Kill awesome Monster
    2) Carve its body to claim it parts
    3) Use parts to create weapons and armour.
    4) Kill next awesome Monster

    What could be better!

    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 ...

    Monster Hunter World adds on an already exceptional series to cater to both veterans and newbies, showing us just how powerful the game is on the next generation consoles. As a veteran this game has brought me back to my roots and now shares the masterpiece of the series in a greater worldwide light, much to the delight of fans who have already been singing its praises for the past decade.

    60 hours in I got what I paid for.

    Been playing 3DS MH:Ultimate before and in MH:World you won´t get as much content as those games regarding unique weapon models and monsters but it got traded in for beauty. The world is gorgeous and the monsters are awesome. You really live in fear sometimes of the roaming monsters. One time my main target was a dumb bird that carries rocks and    60 hours in I got what I paid for.

    You really live in fear sometimes of the roaming monsters. One time my main target was a dumb bird that carries rocks and eggs but a stone dino came and attacked us! Both me and dumbbird ran away and continued our fight elsewhere.
    There is so much content here and even though it´s a lot of online components all can be enjoyed offline alone, or with your CAT!

    Your Palico will be your most precious companion and the outfits your cat wears will be top priority. Everytime I downed a new monster I checked if the new catfit was good and usually it was SUPER KAWAIIIIIII!

    There might be some time to learn all there is to learn but if you find 1 weapon you like just go for it. You will get the chance to change it up. I started with Hunting Horn, played most with insect Glaive and now feeling around the Switch Axe and Sword & Shield.

    I will give it 10 cause it has so much to experience for the price tag.
    Free Monster DLC will come and there is paid cosmetics. I bought an outfit for my "Handler" (She is annoying, embrace it) for a small amount. There is also a little face paintings and hairs that can be bought.    … Expand

    So much to see and so much to do. It takes a little getting used to (haven't played any other MH game).
    I can see why some say it's boring/not okay. The first few hours it was well horrible and frustrating. Mainly because there are so many possibilities and so much info. Your brain is flooded (when you are not familiar with MH) and it is easy to give up then. However when you finally see    So much to see and so much to do.

Your brain is flooded (when you are not familiar with MH) and it is easy to give up then. However when you finally see the link between things, the expeditions, investigations, arena and finally get how you can team up the game becomes a lot bigger. There are so many details. The fighting feels not smooth in the beginning. I picked two short-blades. Fun but I got mowed down constantly and just having two buttons really annoyed me. It felt slow. Then again, it's something you have to get used to. I haven't played anything like this before - as in I have seen many aspects in other games, it feels like they combined everything in this game. I love it!    … 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]
