    Beautiful and rich maps
    Glorious monsters with superb animation
    Nice music
    A lot of armor sets and weapons

    Amazing game, the only con i can think is that it become a bit grindy with all the Low or High Rank stuff

Game play is enjoyable either with friends or solo. Variety is achieved in a degree, and some how the developer managed to put in an actual plot that makes some sense in a game of grind. Comparing to the stories in the Division and Destiny, the silly story in MHW is much better.
    There are, however, and of course, features that can be improved. Art work of weapons in this game is lazy comparing to previous games. Most of the weapons are made too realistic for a monster hunter game, and end up being ugly and boring. Gathering hub is completely ignorable due to the unfriendly loading screen and automatic commute back to base, until they fixed part of this issue recently. Also, continuing update of content is crucial to a grind game, as players lose their interest after two months of hunting the same kind of monsters in the same maps day after day.
    This game is not in fact comparable with Dark Souls and Bloodborne as some people think it is. It's all about hunting and crafting, and becoming good with different type of weapons and builds during the process. Be sure if that is what you are looking for and you will love it.    … Expand

    Great game with almost unlimited content. Lots of hours of joy even if you only go straight for the "history" missions. It's true it doesn't have as many monsters as other MH games but it has enough to make you play for (in my case) 95 hours. Furthermore, it will be receiving more and more content in the future so I will probably come back and play it more someday soon.

Playing solo is great (and arguably easier) but this game truly shines when hunting in groups. The wide choice of weapons, 14 in total, allows each hunter to play their part in keeping the monster(s) busy, deal major damage or heal and support their party members.
    The story is simple but charming, encouraging the player not to take anything too seriously and enjoy the adventure and occasional mayhem that the hardest hunts can provide.    … Expand

    Monster Hunter: World was able to maintain a balance and remained true to the ideals of the series with its battles, awesome monsters and meaningful upgrades that fans love, but at the same time the game made an impressive leap that betrayed to her a new kind, feelings, and size.

The game doesn't feel all that grind-y too (already logged 400+ hours to the game before doing a review); each encounter feels like a new one, and there's a good variety of monsters/ playstyle you could do - plus free content is always great.

    I guess the game's main weak point is storytelling, but I've heard that it never was MH's strong suit anyway. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of lore and story in the game, it's just basically weak in my opinion. Another thing I kind of got disappointed was the lack of inspired weapon design. Seriously, a pair of clubs for dual BLADES? Aside from that, majority of the designs are actually the same but they just tacked in some weird monster part or something. Nonetheless, the game's strength's far outweigh the game's weakness.

    To cut it short, here's the pros/ cons of the game:

    Pros:
    - High replay value
    - No loot boxes or pay to win systems
    - 14 weapons (aka playstyle) to choose from.
    - Breathtaking monsters & a beautiful "New World".

    Cons:
    - Weak story
    - Lack of variety in terms of weapon design/ uninspired weapon designs.    … Expand

We are welcomed back with the largest and most detailed maps, new, more complex attack patterns for monsters, and a quality, albeit small (at the time of this review) cast of monsters. The combat is still true to its roots Monster Hunter combat, with you fighting the animation frames almost as much as you are fighting that fire breathing T-Rex. All this means is you have to plan your attacks, and you cant just button mash your way to a victory. However, the many comparisons to the Dark Souls series are unwarranted.

    The game also has a robust online multiplayer system, that does need a few QoL tweaks, but other than that, is fantastic.

    My only true complaints with the game are the timed event quests, and the lack of G-Rank at the moment. Timed Event Quests, while fun for the daily player, are often harder to access for the players who have other obligations (work, family, kids, etc.) G-Rank will hopefully be coming in the near future with either a free or paid DLC expansion to add the true MH experience.    … Expand

    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

It’s easier with events now, but still getting some of those crowns can be very time consuming and repetitive. It’s a pretty great experience and taking on new monsters has a learning curve. I think this game is enjoyed more with friends, but I do know some people that are still going at it solo and love it.… Expand

It’s through this game that I became friends one of my best friends and we continue to play it almost every day. This is the first game I’ve played in the series outside of the demos on the 3DS. The amount of time and effort Capcom put into World and Iceborne is obvious and is greatly appreciated. Out of the now 60 monsters present there are 2 that I can say I actively dislike. The other 58 are all great additions to the series and I hope to see them return in the future. The progression is smooth and easy and is always rewarding. The difficulty is right where it needs to be for both entry level hunters and veterans alike. After going back since starting and trying the old world style I can say that the quality of life improvements alone make the game worth its weight in gold. Each weapon feels unique and great to use. If any of the 14 were the only weapon available I’d still play just as much as I do now. I beg anyone that hasn’t played yet to pick it up and give it a try, I promise you won’t be disappointed.… Expand

After being rescued, and arriving at the base camp, the player fulfils their role as a Hunter defeating a variety of creatures whilst trying to find out more about the beast that attacked their fleet.

    Despite this being the fifth mainline instalment in the Monster Hunter series, it is the first I’ve played as I’m generally not a fan of these types of loot based RPGs. With this being ‘free’ as part of the PlayStation collection I thought I’d give it a go, but there was very little I enjoyed here. The game's core loop of crafting appropriate gear to be able to hunt down more difficult monsters is always going to be repetitive by its very nature, but if the gameplay is enjoyable enough this need not be any issue. Unfortunately however the combat is just as repetitive and, regardless of the monster you’ve been tasked to kill, you’ll spend an age hacking away until it runs and you have to chase it before hacking away again. Patience rather than skill seems to be all that is required...

    Of course, games like this are all about teaming up with other people, but Monster Hunter World is a let down in this regard as well. Having required the use of a guide to finally work out how to team up with a family member, we were still unable to play any of the story missions together because (for some inexplicable reason) you can’t join each others game until you’ve started a mission and watched any associated cut scenes! After this you can quit and restart the mission with other people, but it’s so time consuming I couldn’t be bothered to do it most of the time.

    When all is said and done I realise this simply isn’t the sort of game I enjoy, but based on this evidence, that won’t change any time soon.    … Expand

    Bought as a Multiplayer game, but despite its promise of battling big Monsters with friends, this is barely a multiplayer game at all. You can only join quests with others providing you've already done them in single player, do you basically have to finish the entire 80 story solo to enjoy this game. It's easily the most being single player experience I've ever had. Terrible game.

    Graphics look good and the world itself. If you like grinding and the idea of hunting and this is for you. IMO combat is too repetitive and you're just farming for materials all the time. Armor and weapons are super clunky but I guess that was the theme, huge weapons. The progression seems like only your equipment, which could be realistic in a way. Wish there were diverse combat combos etc.

    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 mapFirst 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.

The sheer volume of stats, menus, weapons, armour, items and customisation involved in these games is truly hard to comprehend in the initial hunts. I can safely say that after taking a few hours to familiarise myself with it all, and trying out each and every weapon before settling into the one I found most fun (the hammer), the game opened up into one of the most unique and enjoyable experiences I've had in a long time. You can really see the effort that Capcom have went through to open up this series to newcomers while staying strong with their distinctive gameplay.

    The game centres round a solid loop. Accept a quest/hunt, prepare for it, research the monster in the field, slay it, make new equipment out of materials harvested from it, accept a new quest. This is interspersed with gathering herbs, plants, ammo and other items from Expeditions (basically free-roam mode) and repeating previous hunts to farm items you need for a particular set of armour/weapon. It's compelling, fun, deep and addictive, and after my third large hunt or so I was hooked. "Recipes" for equipment can be saved on a wishlist, so you know exactly what you need next time and by capturing monsters alive you can maximise the materials gleaned, Since materials are randomly generated (with a little adjustment by aiming for certain body parts) this can create some frustrating situations where you don't get what you want from a hunt but this is essentially the core mechanic of the play. I must admit that farming monsters for a single claw to make a new hammer CAN get tedious, but thankfully this is MOSTLY optional and only certain equipment requires extensive effort to make.

    Hunts themselves are a joy, scary, exhilarating and realistic. You actually hunt the monster, gathering feathers, scales, claw marks and more in the field to research it before locking in to its nest and going at it. Injured monsters will try to seek safety but will also become more aggressive when cornered. Battles are tactical, methodical and as a result SO satisfying to win. This is not an easy game and will really test your abilities when encountering something new. The Tobi-Kadachi presented a significant jump in difficulty for me but by researching it, working out its weakness and farming a new super-effective weapon/armour set, I prevailed. The monster designs are incredible and essentially fighting a game of bosses is truly unique. Particular favourites were the Diablos, Rathalos and Legiana fights, and the final few monsters are gargantuan and awe-inspiring. They also REALLY want you dead and will claw, headbutt, flame and crush you with ferocity.

    The story is pretty bare-bones and essentially sees a company of humans settling on a new monster-infested ecosystem where they try to survive and learn about their new home and its inhabitants. The voice acting is good and the visuals/score are stunning. Each new environment, be it a jungle, wasteland, inland coral reef or rotting cave system is gorgeous to behold ad I actually loved gathering expeditions where you get to casually stroll around collecting ingredients (with occasional monster interruptions). The crafting system is also expansive and uses bugs, flora, fauna, chemicals and other naturally-occurring substances to make better potions, traps, stat boosters, stamina replenishment, bombs and more. This can even be done during a battle by the handy shortcut wheel, meaning you can whip up a mega potion in an instant if you have a herb and a bit of honey in your pouch.

    MHW is an expansive game that is really not for casual play. It took 50-60 hours to complete the main quest (with farming between) but I know people who have clocked up 100s of hours playing it with friends. You can switch your weapon class (which has a HUGE impact on the way the game plays), but I must admit that I did have a bit of hunting fatigue by the end. When later monsters are so challenging, take up to 50 minutes to hunt and don't give you all the materials you need for a shiny new weapon, it can take its toll. However, if you love looting games and RPGs this will satisfy a huge part of your gaming life. I'm grateful for the accessibility of this game and it has been a joy to play and be involved in. Just expect a LONG haul if you want to get the best monsters, equipment and experiences.    … Expand

Overall, there are two main issues with the game. It lacks the polish and accessibility of Western titles, and a lot of it is very poorly translated from the original Japanese.

    For example, in game hints are referred to as "tutorials". To actually play the game, you have to find a menu item called "post mission"... is that "post" meaning "after" or "post" as in what you do with a letter? Why not "start mission" or "choose mission"? In the hub world, there are characters with an icon over their head, which indicates you can talk to them... but at what distance? There's no pop-up prompt to "speak", so you have to get to what seems like talking distance.

    I managed to start a mission, but again it was extremely confusing, as my companion character would just stop and wait, not responding to any attempts to speak to him. I pretty quickly figured out that I have to walk forward and encounter the monsters myself. But then before I'd finished the second wave of monsters in the first mission, my companion congratulated me and some victory music started playing.

    Online co-op multiplayer is extremely fiddly to set up, and you may have to endure a few rounds of being kicked from your friend's quest before getting through. Once it was working, it was quite hilarious, perhaps unintentionally so, as we clip our swords through dinosaurs spouting purple liquid for a few minutes, and then it's all over. You're treated to a screen from which you can select a bunch of icons, and then you're back in the hub world with prompts asking you to complete things that I suppose must be for single player?. Anyway, rinse and repeat. There's no story to speak of.

    The graphics are pretty weak for a PS4 game - many of the ground textures are quite pixellated up close and the characters are poorly animated and frequently clip through the animals you're battling. Your own character is rather awkward to control, with some bizarre button assignments, such as triangle to draw your weapon but also to reload it, with R1 to stash your weapon again. ... or circle to pick up stuff but also fire a flare of some sort. The HUD layout is also a confusing mess.

    The character lip-sync is... well, there isn't any. This may be because they're lip-punched to the original Japanese, but the effect is quite immersion breaking if you're playing in English. Also, only a small proportion of the dialogue is there in audio format... so there's reading... lots of reading.

    I feel like this is a game designed for extremely forgiving fans, rather than newcomers to the franchise. I found it a confusing mess compared to any other online multiplayer of any genre.    … Expand

A lot of people don't realize that half the fun was the utter frustration the earlier games had. It wasn't instant gratification, you worked for it with your blood, sweat, and tears.
    Streamlining is what a businessman says when he means "we made it a lot easier to appeal to the casual market." MHW barely added anything that genuinely helped the formula, and removed FAR MORE than it gave and it's easily the worst installment to date, even maybe beating out the MMO.
    I do like that they added the drops, drop rates and damage stats in game but it's not worth the casualized hunting and tracking mechanics. Not to mention they've basically buffed most weapons to the point that it genuinely doesn't matter if you're good with them or not. They sped up the combat significantly and now it feels less like you're wielding a giant 100 pound sword and more like you're swinging your big anime stick. the only outright positive thing I can say about the combat additions is the new mounting mechanic but even then it's made even MORE overpowered. If that wasn't bad enough they gave the glaive an infinite air combo making mounting even easier.
    The new inventory changes are all pointless and the only thing about the new item systems I like are the item wheels and the quick crafting. The new crafting recipes are worse. They now allow you to walk while using items as well though they did try to balance it but its still not very MH. 90% of the monsters don't attack on sight unless previously provoked. no monster requires preparation anymore I'm kinda glad they didn't include g rank just because of how terribly they've balanced low and high rank. Gathering spots are everywhere and automatically refill, you could easily go out on a hunt with literally nothing in your inventory and come back with a successful mission and a full inventory of mega potions and whatever else you need, you know those things older games made you work for? There's no punishment. There's just no risk. There's just no fun.
    Then there's the story. Voice acting was something MH was best off taking the minimalist approach, now they have full UNSKIPPABLE cutscenes. It was bad enough in past MH games where they had the obligatory excuse plot but you could still button mash through the story bits. Now you cant.
    The slingshot was an okay addition but its implementation just feels hand holdy. You don't need to craft any ammo for it outside of dung and screamers, the monsters drop ammo that they're weak to, which is dumb. then there's the open world concept which could have been great but its implementation was just awful. The first map feels needlessly big. You could easily split it up into two and nothing would be lost. The sand area is fine but it feels half used. All the monsters stick to the same areas. However they ruin all the areas with multiple start camps and quick travel making the random spawn on HR quests a minor inconvenience at worst. I can think of so many ways to make both these mechanics leagues better and fit into the MH style of game without caving into the casual AAA way of doing it. Then there's the way equipment works now which is just garbage. No gunner armor. Skills being instantly granted by **** armor pieces and not through the efforts of minmaxing. It feels like someone who never played MH before came in and **** that his +1 attack gem didn't actually give a +1 to attack without understanding how the skill mechanics worked at all. The cloaks? Utterly useless.
    MHW just feels like MH for people who don't like MH. It used to be fun, clunkiness was something that fans loved, but now it's all flash and "woah" and instant gratification and it's really just **** boring now good thing the game's content is **** abysmal because I got bored of it so fast. And all the paid DLC doesn't really give me hope for the future content updates.
    I really don't mind other consoles getting it, especially if it one day means cross platform and cross region play, but if MHW is how it's going to be then I wish it died with XX. which was also incredibly easy but it at least retained the spirit of MH. There's more but I'm low on characters here.

    Here's what MHW did good: Monster info in game, expeditions, Item and equipment, crafting conveniences, and The item wheel

    Everything else was either a huge dump on the series or a pointless change. I pray portable 5th returns the series to its roots because MHW is just a mediocre joyless game. If I wasn't such a huge fan of the series I'd probably rate it 5 or 6/10 but I feel it deserves lower than that. I can't even recommend it to casuals as a jumping off point into the series because barely any of the mechanics translate well, I can at least recommend generations and XX still. But if they want to move onto the better installments like FU, 3G, P3rd, or 4U/G then they're going to have a bad time.    … Expand

    Its not that its mimic realism, its simi;y puttiing tin absurdly unrealistic controls that aren't fair to create a "challenge". Unfrotunately this game puts in quests where skill and preparation don't matter. In some case that matters, but a lot of the time You either get lucky, another larger creature jumps in with an unresitalbe stun and then the first creature kills you befoe you do anyting. Assuming that ther fist creature doesnt' choose to simply spam its multiple roar/stun attacks, that leave you totally vulerable.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am new to MH games and coming straight from hundreds of hours of DS3, the game felt super easy at first and the combat system was clunky and slow ( i started out with the Greatsword, which is also what i preferred in DS3). After a few quests I gave up the game and went back to DS3. After a couple weeks my friend insisted that I pick it up again and give it another try, and I did. This time I switched to charge blade and got further into the game and encountered harder dragons that one shot me a few times (that's you Nergigante), I have to say the combat felt more fluid and being able to land a super element discharge feels execelent.
    It's true the game has literally no story, but now i just skip all dialogue and just go about hunting monsters to craft armors and weapons and charms etc. it's rewarding when you finally get the parts you need after dozens of grinding, meanwhile you git gud and take less time to kill the same monster. It's more enjoyable now that i'm learning more about the game. I'm really sad i missed the DMC sets and really hope it comes back in the future.

    All in all this is a game worth buying if you are into grinding for ingredients and crafting equipment. if you're here for the story you will be severely disappointed.    … Expand

    Now I've been playing this game more lately as overall it isn't a bad game it's just... full of inconveniences... it's overall combat isn't bad but I have my gripes with it such as it's lock-on system and some weapons feel pretty clunky but overtime you'll get use to it and you'll be dying to "grind" for the latest gear because this game is always getting update with a new event and quiteNow I've been playing this game more lately as overall it isn't a bad game it's just... full of inconveniences... it's overall combat isn't bad but I have my gripes with it such as it's lock-on system and some weapons feel pretty clunky but overtime you'll get use to it and you'll be dying to "grind" for the latest gear because this game is always getting update with a new event and quite recently the Witcher 3 colab has just went live which isn't a bad time to get into this game.

    It looks good it feels decent but what about the story? It's there but it's not good... I won't lie to you the story is VERY WEAK and a lot of the characters lack personality but thankfully it doesn't hold the game back because at its core this game lives up to it's name "monster hunter" it's a game where you hunt giant monsters and if you can get on that good on you! Now I rate this game a 6 out of 10 to a high ball 7 and don't let that scare you away the game is good but most importantly it's a COMPLETE game and is well worth the entry price!    … Expand

    Great game to play with friends and family, go hunt down monster with larger than life weapons no normal human could ever to hope to wield, spend literally hundreds of hours, yes the game is hard AF to get started, but once you get the feel you will be sucked into, my only complaint is the grind is real, so sit back take a hit, and grind away.

The graphics are amazing and as fun as ever. Well done Capcom, you're still the best !… Expand

    This game is not for me. Speaking as a single player, story is not good, I did not care for any characters or what would happen in the story either. But my main problem was the fight, two reasons come to mind about it: no monster health and low damage. You can spend 15 to 20 minutes fighting a monster and it's exhausting, keep in mind that you need to grind for equipment, at least one hourThis game is not for me.

    Amazing game, this is my first monster hunter games and I absolutely loved it. Can’t wait for future updates. If you like grinding gear and hunting some monsters and getting stronger gear and even hunting some strongeeeer monster then it’s a must buy.

However, if you can push past the barriers (as well as many unskippable cutscenes and an insultingly hand-holding tutorial that does little to actually teach you more than the simplest basics of the game), this is a downright awesome game.

    Having played about 2 hours of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate on the 3DS and being equally bored and frustrated by it, I went into this with lowered expectations. After 5 hours of groaning and whining about the Handler being unbearably annoying, the Palicoes (cat companions) being insufferable and the combat being stupid, I found myself enthralled by this game's beautiful environments, its ability to make grinding far more entertaining than it is in other games, and the constant challenge new monsters provide.

    Unfortunately, after a solid 400 hours of gameplay, I do feel this game has worn out its welcome. While an expansion (Iceborne) is on the way, my urge to dive back into the game and continue the grind is not as strong as it once was. While the game did provide me with some solid entertainment, the act of slaying bigger, badder monsters wears out its welcome after a while. Certainly, the maps are quite large, and the game can feel quite like an open-world game at times, but there doesn't seem to be enough variation in Monster Hunter's core gameplay to pull me back in. That is more of a subjective criticism than an objective one in my mind, as Monster Hunter is an unapologetically unique series, and I believe it deserves credit for making a game that was once abhorrently obtuse (to me, at least) much more accessible.

    To conclude, I would absolutely recommend this game to anyone who likes to hit big monsters with a wide variety of interesting weapons and feel a consistent sense of accomplishment for doing so. As I stated earlier, however, be prepared for a steep learning curve and a frustrating introductory experience.    … 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]
