    Extremely unfriendly to new players. Capcom explain next to nothing, and it is infuriating. General consensus to combat is that it is considered clonky, and it is is. You are irritated by frequent knockback and trembles and just frustrates you

That is when you realize the developers just wanted to make it hard for the sake of it being hard. SUre, 1 shot mechanics are acceptable if obviously choreographed, but it's the times when you get knocked onto your back, don't even stand up before getting knocked down again, then finally get up and get staggered by an aoe effect, only to get smashed to death right after.

    The game demands PERFECTION or a cheese environmental advantage. Even then some of the higher level monsters will still throw you into this chain stun / 100 to 0 death setup and it just isn't acceptable in a game that should be about strategy and skill, not hopeless disadvantages.

    Was fun until I got to higher level monsters. Now the game is just a tedious frustrating grind with no real enjoyment. Don't buy this game.    … Expand

    This game is borderline unplayable out of the box. WitH HDR on, even with the lowest brightness, the screen is washed out white. With HDR off, and lowest brightness settings the wash out effect is ok, but the screen looks lifeless.

    Is nobody doing quality control at Capcom/Sony anymore?!

    I have never played a MH game before and after seeing all the positive reviews I was convinced this game was for me as I'm a huge fan of games like this. I loved WoW back in the day but more recently I've really liked Horizon Zero Dawn, The Witcher 3, etc.

    This game takes some elements of those games and could have been so great except for two major issues:

    1. The combat is awful. There's virtually no skill or strategy and the animations are so robotic. It was fine at first but then you quickly realise you are spamming the same buttons over and over and over.

    2. The way the monster fights progress is boring. Hit the monster until it flees, chase it across the map for 5 minutes, hit it again. Repeat about 3-4 times and you win. It's just so tedious and again, at first it's fine but it gets old after several hours.

    It has so many good qualities, I love the way the game progresses with lots of things to collect and do but ultimately the process to get through the game is ruined by the issues I've written above.

    I would actually rate the game more like 6/10 but because of all the ridiculous 10's I wanted to balance it out slightly.    … Expand

    As a 14 years franchise fan, It is very hard for me to evaluate this game. On one side I couldn't be more happy of having back the chance to play MH on my home console with better multiplayer functions and graphics. On the other hand I coldn't help but being frustrated by comparing this game to all the others recent entries in the series. All things considered I gave it a 7 out of 10. MHWAs a 14 years franchise fan, It is very hard for me to evaluate this game. On one side I couldn't be more happy of having back the chance to play MH on my home console with better multiplayer functions and graphics. On the other hand I coldn't help but being frustrated by comparing this game to all the others recent entries in the series. All things considered I gave it a 7 out of 10. MHW is infact a good, and very well crafted game; sadly it s flowed by some severe issues that could easly make it look like the worst entry in the franchise for someone. This is true expecially for old MH veterans, that surely have very different expectations than newcomers, or any other player wich is less awere of this game's heritage.

    What follows is my personal review, divided by different categories.

    GRAPHICS -meh-
    MHW Graphics don't shine mostly becouse low-definition textures, and clipping problem that afects armors, weapons and monsters all togheter. All things considered, I would have reasonably expected this part of the game to be a little better then it actually is. Same goes for Frame rate wich is sadly very far from stability and even farther from the 60 FPS threshold. I personally think that the game would have grealty benefited from having a 30 FPS cap, instead of having framest fluctuating constantly between 50 and 25, making all feel sluggish sometimes.
    On the bright side, the PS4 pro comes with 3 diferent settings that let the player chose the way they prefer to experience the game ( one of these prioritizes frame rate, another does the same for resolution, and the third one is a mixture between the two). The game is also provided with full HDR support, and benefits of a very good art direction which makes it pleasent to the eye at first glence.

    SOUND -good-
    The soundrak is on par with the older instalments of the series, many of the themes are still there in all their glory, many others have been rivisited without bein worse. Just one thing I noticed aobut the audio in genral is that it has been settet to be very low for some reason. I found my self forced to se the TV audio higher than I usually do with other games and with TV in general, just to be able to fully apreciate the beuty of the soundrtack, why this happens is a mistery to me, if it is a gamedesign choice than I can say it is a very bad one, but I realize that this is not the only factor in paly here.

    STORY -meh-
    And here we come to the sore notes. For some reason, probably the one to appeal to a much broader audience, Capcom decided to focus more on the many story. For the old fans like I am, this reminded me a lot of MH4 that did the same, but in a way better way. This game has some quests that are sotry only and presents themselves avulse of the game very gameplay. You find yourself to run arround without bein able to attack or just for the sake of hearing people talking. This missions are not completely bad per-se, they are just boring most of the times and the purpose they serve would have been served much better by some dialogs or short cutscenes between real missions.

    GAMEPLAY -super good-
    By far the best part of the game. Combact system is better then it ever was, all wepon types recived some rework to make them even better. Almost all the semplifications like the monster guide, weapons tutorial and weapon trees available at the forge make the game feel younger the ever. Also the things you can interact with in the maps environments make a big deal into making the world of MH feel alive. I won't deny that all of these are big semplifications, but I more then welcome them if they are done with the palyer's quality of life in mind.

    CONTENT -terribly bad-
    MHW sadly suffers, if compared with ALL the other entryes in the series, of a severe case of lack of content. The situation is best explained with a confrontation between this game and MH4U (3DS).
    - Number of locations: 6 (MHW)/ 19 (MH4U)
    - Number of large monsters to hunt: 31 (MHW)/ 74 (MH4U)
    I'm not reporting the number of quests since the data for MHW is not yet available on monserhunter.wika.com, wich is the source of these informations.
    However you should consider that:
    - MHW has NO class G missions
    - MHW has NO guild missions
    Moreover the absence of the guild makes it so that, by a precise game design choice, most of the game content is made available to the player only after finishing certain parts of the main quest. Which is not bad per-se, but contributes to create a sense of lack of content and bore for the veterans wich will find the game very easy and slow in it's first pahses, being deprived of the extra freedom and difficulty that guild missions provided in previous games.
    The only hope I have is that in the future DLCs and add-on missions will be added to the point that this lack is goin to be at least parcially cured. But it feels sad that content I was used to get for free from previous titles I will have to pay extra now.    … Expand

    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.

    This game is clearly not for me, which is very disappointing because I LOVE dinosaurian types of enemies and RPGs. I thought this would be a surefire purchase and instead I'm walking away from it wanting a refund and utterly baffled as to the praise and high scores that it has received.    … Expand

    As somebody who has never played this franchise before perhaps its not the best game to play first, but my time with Monster Hunter World was not the inviting experience I had hoped it would be. It is in fact, a VERY long lesson in redundancy, and while done with a particular flare for the fun and silly - it wasn't enough to save me from the feeling of overwhelming simplicity.

    For those    As somebody who has never played this franchise before perhaps its not the best game to play first, but my time with Monster Hunter World was not the inviting experience I had hoped it would be. It is in fact, a VERY long lesson in redundancy, and while done with a particular flare for the fun and silly - it wasn't enough to save me from the feeling of overwhelming simplicity.

    For those of you looking to experience a traditional hack-and-slash adventure RPG, stay away - this is not that. I see a lot of people likening it to Dark Souls, but the Souls series has nowhere near this much crafting and menu time - and I think the comparison largely draws from the flare or "SOS" mechanic, that works a lot like signs did for Dark Souls.

    It DOES have a distinctive MMO lite feel, which I detest on consoles, and in general. MMO games are not something to commit to casually, as we learned with Destiny and The Division, and here its no different. MMO fans will be disappointed by the lack of depth and adventure RPG fans will hate the lack of action. I definitely felt as though I was being spoon fed a line of boss battles as I trudged through the campaign - and if you want that wait for the Shadow reboot.

    Sound was good, graphics were good for an engine that was being used to make Dead Rising and Dragons Dogma some time back. Customization was decent, and at first I liked the feline companions until they made it a point to force a cat-pun every five seconds. There are plenty of weapons to choose from but really its the same three classes as always (melee, ranged, magic/tech), so take it for what you will.

    The one thing they did brilliantly was timing, because the game launched when there was nothing but Far Cry to contest with for a 4 month span, and everybody was bored. So naturally, it will be a huge success. Just beware - if you aren't a Monster Hunter fan and you were expecting more of the Dark Souls/God of War vibe, its very limited. Expect Final Fantasy with more menus and less magic.

    You might spend 15 minutes fighting a monster and then have to chase it across the map, only to have it "leave the area." Why build that into the game??? It's annoying and a waste of time. And as you're chasing it, the in game "GPS" - aka Scout Flies, just stops working so you have to keep resetting it. Just when you start finding redeemable aspects to the game, there is another fail that makes this game suck. If you've never played the series, don't buy into the hype. This game blows.    … Expand

My issues come from having so many mechanics left unexplained that you will get punished for not knowing. There is a lot of stuff you will have to go to the wiki or youtube for to even stand a chance if you are not a series vet. Trial and error isn't a bad system if the length of trials wasn't anywhere form 30min -2hrs to walk away with nothing. The pacing of fights is interrupted by monsters running away at random or monster flying away to the other side of the map.
    There are also a lot of smaller issues that don't make sense. Some actions will cause you to carefully put away your weapons in a fight. Some animations are overly long and you are locked into animations for a few moment after they end, making some combat and item use very clunky and some items take longer than others with no indication on what items will take longer Setting a trap is faster than drinking a potion. Single player doesn't feel balanced when monsters can chain stun and leap over or sometimes glitch through impassable terrain and are very much HP sponges until you have weapons beyond that monster's level, even when matching up against elemental weaknesses. Multiplayer is where the game shines. Having multiple hunters makes the fights go by at much more reasonable pace and adds a sense of excitement, but the multiplayer set up is not the best.

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.

    Possibly the worst version of a monster hunter game with various faults, lack of content and strange design choices and horrible fights really ruining the game as whole. Monster variety is limited to a handful of different animation sets and some fights are pure agony to work around it’s mechanics, most weapons are bland and basic and simple features like a pause button is absent.

    The game does look great for the most part but don’t let that convince you that this is a good MH title, go play MH3U, MHGenU or MH4U instead, you’d thank me in the long run    … Expand

    The worst target system ever. Fighting does not providing fun. To much RNG.

    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]
