    I wanted to like this game but instead I found it profoundly average. Basic go kill it quests, repetitive gameplay, and simple builds make for a game that's just not much of a long term thing.

    There is a first for everything and Monster Hunter World is the first Monster Hunter game that I decided to sit down and give it a try. I am glad that I did, I became obsessed with this game and played it non-stop for a week. You know how there is Shark Week, it was Monster Week.

    To boil this game down to its simplest, its eat, hunt, craft. Before a hunt, you want to sit down and eat.    There is a first for everything and Monster Hunter World is the first Monster Hunter game that I decided to sit down and give it a try. I am glad that I did, I became obsessed with this game and played it non-stop for a week. You know how there is Shark Week, it was Monster Week.

    To boil this game down to its simplest, its eat, hunt, craft. Before a hunt, you want to sit down and eat. Eating can give you a boost in health, stamina, attack, defense or give you some elemental resistance. Personally me I chose to always go with the Chefs Special because it always gave the max stamina and health. Plus it would then give a boost in the other three, its always random but I liked going into each hunt with max health and stamina.

    Next on the list is hunt, sometimes you go on a hunt to carry on the story or sometimes you may be looking to craft something. Which brings me to the last of the loop which is craft. The stronger monsters have better armor and weapons so your goal is to keep fighting stronger monsters so you can craft better armor and weapons so that way you can be better equipped to fight stronger monsters. That’s the loop and you just keep doing that over and over again until your heart is content.

    The game has plenty of weapon options which allows for almost any playstyle. When I first played the game in the beta, I leaned towards the bow and arrow which feels great to use but in the beta, I struggled against the Nergigante which forced me to try different weapons. I wound up using the sword and shield, really liked that so when the full game was released I immediately went to that.

    What drove me to keep playing this game is, it felt unique. I am having a hard time trying to figure out what this game reminds me of. Yes, its another loot based grinding game but the combat itself doesn’t feel like any of those kinds of games. The combat itself feels very unique and its refreshing to play something so different.

    If I had to poke holes in the game, it would probably be its story. It’s just a very bland story that feels tacked on, I didn’t find it interesting at all. The on;y reason why I advanced the story was so I could open up new monsters, areas, and quests. Also, this is just a personal pet peeve but in all of the cut scenes that your character is in, they’re just an empty vessel. They don’t do or say anything, they just stand there, it’s just odd because all of the other characters would talk or at least be animated but yours just stands there.

    One of the tougher questions I could ask myself is what is my favorite monster? I think I would have to go with one of the Elder Dragons and that’s the Teostra. I just thought it was a very cool looking monster. It kind of reminded me of a Griffin. It has a lion head with a flying dragon body. Oh, and it breathes fire, yea its pretty cool. That was the final armor set I went with because I liked the way it looked and I enjoyed fighting it.

    Personally, for me, I put in over 70 hours in one week and I think I’m good. I have had a blast playing this game but now I’m starting to get that itchy feeling like its time to move on and try something new. But this is a game that I highly recommend for everyone, give this game a try and I’m willing to bet you will get your money’s worth.    … Expand

Patches buff and nerf weapons to insufficient extend where ppl still wont want to use garbage weapons. And worst of all, the way Capcom intend players to grind out jewels is almost predatory to keep the exponentially declining player base from becoming zero, where you are lucky if you got a second attack jewel within 500 hours of gameplay. Its just a glorified HD remake of the same old formula, where devs still dont know how to balance out AI and kept a lot of the useless frustrating element of the old game in (stand up dizziness, tremor, pinned down, etc). It is definitely easier to platinum the game compared to older series, but for $80 it is not worth to buy a HD remake of old MH with less monsters and content.

    1) The premise of an open world, with a download size of a little over 14GB on PS4, almost around the size of an arcade fighting game, so obvious was the warning that no, there's no open world design here, it's a lot of back tracking and invisible walls and physical limitations, it's a false promise right there.

    2) Menus. If none of the game's challenges require one to skim through its mechanics, then they needn't be there! More so there's a newspaper worth of explaining that the developers take leisure to simply shove in the players' face before one even realizes why they're there.

    3) Oversimplifying. AI isn't really as well developed or "intelligent" as we hope to see it in this game, so the more complicated the game mechanics are, the more versatile an enemy AI seems, but given the tools available to the enemy AI as is, I fail to see how anyone can illude the player with the enemy's toolkit, it feels almost retarded and doesn't warrant of me any more than the mindless whaling of a 3 year old against the buttons of the controller to dish out combos or beat a certain "boss" fight.

    The fight style, looks cool! I was taken aback by how awesome my move set was, with any weapon of choice, couple that with amazing graphics and stellar sound that marks my every jump or slash and I almost felt dazzled, but when I actually played the game, none of it made a difference, it's a button masher, positioning is made irrelevant by how easy it is to heal or escape a boss, and the enemies don't have the capacity to react to any move of my choosing, no more than running around or plainly attacking, so they're flat in a sense.

    The whole game is rubbish, perhaps the most remarkably over-hyped piece of rubbish in the history of gaming.

    I could forgive this game if it had the size, or the story, or even had as interesting a level up system as an MMO RPG, which this game shamelessly tries to be one, but there's no challenge nor reward to be had in it.    … Expand

    Monster Hunter World can be a bit repetitive at times, but what RPG isn't? It's a fun game and the most fun I've had with a co-op game since Left 4 Dead 2. The only reason I'm giving it a 9 is because after you beat the main game, there isn't really that much left to do. The game lacks a lot of post-game content.

    Gameplay
    The main and only course. I know games tend to be more wholesome, but this is not one of those game. The fun comes from doing one thing very well and that's fighting monsters. I'll be breaking down what I think about the gameplay and how the online attribute compliments it.

    The weapon mechanics are impressive to my eyes. They are very unique from each other making fighting a monster with a different weapon feel completely different as well. I say they have depth because they take a while to master as stronger monsters make you doubt if you've really mastered your weapon and even when you've beat every single monster, you'll find that there are better and more efficient ways to fight. The skill cap for the weapons may vary, but all really reach for the sky. The people who made these weapons really outdid themselves.

    The monster's AI and depth are decent. After a while playing, you'll be able to read monster's movements and fighting them become a bit stale. They tried to put in a more dynamic system but you'll know exactly where monsters spawn and how they act very fast. You'll also reach a certain point where the monsters under a certain threshold are not fun to fight because they lack any challenge. There are level types like high rank and tempered monsters that make you stay on your toes with a good challenge, but after 800 hours, you'll hit the ceiling pretty hard. But that's a lot of hours so I can't criticize that ceiling too much. I do remember the time it took for me to understand how monsters fight and I enjoyed it.

    The game is immersive, but everything is going to feel the same pretty fast. It's a lovely environment and when the hectic hunt stops, you can appreciate the concept behind it. But it's not comparable to nature which it tried to replicate.

    Online
    I want to dedicate this part to how online improved or failed to improve Monster Hunter World. About a year passed and I think in general it worked well. Still too early to see how things are gonna play out but it feels like a good direction.

    There has only been one major weapon balance update. Since you're not fighting against other people, I don't think it's too necessary but I like how the devs pay attention to balance. Kudos.

    At first, going online with your friends or just staying online was really shaky. You'd lose connection and find yourself fighting alone or just randomly disconnect from a session. It improved now and I haven't had that happen in a while. Good stability.

    Three new monsters have been added to the game, free too I should add. One looks like just a variation from a different monster but once you fight it, you'll find them different enough to think of them differently. Good stuff.

    There are rotating event quests and giant game events so it's nice to see the seasons pass to keep things enjoyable. I wish there was a little more though. And the creativity behind the event quest are kind of lacking. Although, Arch Temper Monsters were introduced that gives a better challenge. Could be better but not bad.

    The people you meet are fine. I don't think there's actually a way to be toxic though. Almost everyone you meet have their mic receiver off. Family friendly here, I guess.

    Playing with people is entertaining. I gotta say, it's fun hunting with people and it helps with the game's longevity, can't say I've met every type of player out there. This extra dynamic of co-op keeps the gameplay fresh.

    That's it folks. Is there a story? Sure, not something worth mentioning though. Is there anything else to do besides hunt monsters? Well yeah, but warping back and forth to catch a giant fish isn't exactly great. This game is fun because there is a steep progression line, but I will admit, mindless grind is a better word for it at times. Is there a lot of content? Quite a bit, and quite a lot to do if you have the heart for it. That's about it, you fight monsters, build weapons and armors off them, then fight bigger badder monsters. It does this very well and I had tons of fun. Sure there is still room for improvement, particularly with the monster's depth, but I don't regret the time I've spent in this game and would recommend this game.    … Expand

Allow me a comparison to demonstrate my point. I think Horizon Zero Dawn is what MHW wishes it could be. HZD makes hunting, crafting and traversing the wilderness a real pleasure, whilst MH turns it into a repetitive chore. Getting the materials you need to upgrade your weapons is far too cumbersome and monotonous.

    Monsters take far too long to go down, and having them run away to lick their wounds is a nice touch of realism, but it makes for a drawn-out feeling whilst playing the game.

    The combat mechanics are also dated and slow. The MH community try to excuse this by saying the game has a steep learning curve and is catered to hardcore players, but I think that's rubbish. The game is simply far too robotic and uses dated mechanics.

    Graphics are pretty good, but I don't care much in that regard.

    I don't mind grinding in an RPG, provided it's an enjoyable grind. A lot of this is not enjoyable. Quite often I'm not filled with the excitement that should come with the prospect of taking on the same monster again.

    The layout of menus also take a lot of getting used to, and I think they could have been executed in a much neater and concise manner.

    My biggest gripe with this game is that it's clearly aimed at multiplayer, and many quests seem to have been designed under the assumption that multiple characters would be working together. People are lauding this game for not having microtransactions, but to play multiplayer I'm told I need PS+, which involves a monthly subscription on top of the £40 I paid for this game. That is simply not good enough, and microtransactions should not be in a game anyway, so we should not be thanking developers for leaving them out when they shouldn't be in the game in the first place.

    I'm going to play the game as much as I can, but I feel my patience is being tested and it may be on the shelf of my nearest CeX soon. If you have never played Monster Hunter OR Horizon Zero Dawn, get the latter instead. Even you are desperate for an RPG experience, there are plenty of other RPGs at a much cheaper price. Get this when the price is £20 or below.    … Expand

    Was a good game to start with until around 10 hours in and you find that it's just so repetitive and dull

    To start off I do not like ANY game, especially with a RPG and the only thing that saved Dragon Age Origins for me was the story. As well to be fair I only spent a couple hours on it which is why I wont give it a 0, the story looked decent enough but the problem starts at the beginning.

As well to be fair I only spent a couple hours on it which is why I wont give it a 0, the story looked decent enough but the problem starts at the beginning. When the characters are speaking their mouths don't even match up which in this day in age should not happen. Now this game is pretty much on line with the PSP title I played so I'm sure its pretty accurate and enjoyable to the fan base. The mechanics are maybe good for a MH title but not good at all compared to the basics of good gameplay. The customizing and crafting seems like it would be effective which would be needed for this game, I don't think this game stands up well for any fan base not already initiated and not something I would pay more then 10 dollars at a local disc replay store. Visually the game is pretty well done graphics are not, I consider visuals to be for example, the beauty in this game and graphics to be things like your boot dissipearing into the dirt or voice and mouths not being matched up. Might not be exactly right but I don't claim to be a pro. I will say that I am automatically not going to like a game that is shallow in characters and story so that should be considered if anyone reads this review.

    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]
