    Это какое-то гриндельное непотребство. Герой двигается как инвалид под водой. Ужасный таргетлок. Ощущение, что управляешь не персонажем, а старой лодкой в тинистом водоеме.

    Ugh...I was bored to death within the first half an hour of the game the first time I tried it. Sometimes there are games that will grow on me giving enough time, like dark souls. After getting used to the mechanics of the game I’ve become a dark souls fan. I really thought monster hunter world was that kind of game. Maybe once I get back to it after a long break I might learn to love it.Ugh...I was bored to death within the first half an hour of the game the first time I tried it.

I really thought monster hunter world was that kind of game. Maybe once I get back to it after a long break I might learn to love it. Nope. So a year later I tried it again, and it still couldn’t capture my interest in the game. Still bored to death. Something about the world design and battle mechanics that I just couldn’t get into it. Combat is so slow. Environment is meh, kinda weird looking. Yeah, overall this game is a waste of money. I highly disagree with the metacritic score. Expand

    There is a lot of quests, lot of monsters and a lot of fun. And for Lovers of RPG games, this is A MUST HAVE. COmplex, fun and you can have diferrent playstyles.
    Don´t you want to play with a sword anymore? You can play a totally diverse style with other weapon and can play the entire game with friends.

    This game is a masterpiece!

The only thing wrong with this game is the monster variety is rather limited. Most of the monsters you fight are wyvern’s, while in other monster hunter games, you could hunt a dragon, a leviathan, a friggin bear and a giant muderous leapord. However, the game is meant to be played for hours and when you are fighting the same type of monster, it can become tiring. However, the individual monsters are different enough from one another to be interesting for several hours, but I just miss going from hunting a leviathan to a big four legged helicopter hammer dinosaur. However, the game is impressive of a technical level, as the sound design, level design, and graphics are incredible, and is amazing in terms of gameplay. Amazing game, a must play for any console Expand

    This game was hyped up far more than it deserved it’s the same game I remember from when I was younger and it reminded me why I ended up tossing it. Had high hopes and it definitely didn’t meet them. Simply put this wasn’t worth any amount of money I put into it. Severely disappointed in this one.

    I've met with this franchise in 2005 and I'm a huge fan of it since day 1. Series felt so organic everytime. I had to do simply "everything" in the game, like there was no shortcuts to anything.

I had to do simply "everything" in the game, like there was no shortcuts to anything. Item gathering, mining, fishing, hunting... It was a fantasy world yet it felt insanely realistic. Not to mention it was a hard game to play, which I really love. Everything I did mattered in a big way. So you can clearly see that, Monster Hunter is my favourite franchise of all time. I've played every single title possible, even the spin-off's. And when World finally got announced in 2017 for the home consoles after all these years I was speechless. When it released, all I did was playing the game for months like a maniac. Did I like it? Answer is obvious but for sure there were some things that I did not like it. First of all, the minority of monsters, armors and weapons. It's understandable since the game had a brand new engine and they had to model everything from the beginning. Considering that, it had a good roster in it. Not to mention, game received FREE title-updates, which brought new monsters, new event, new difficulty levels, armors, weapons and items. With all those unwanted microtransactions, World got an amazing feedback with these free updates. My second complain is the Weapon designs. Monster Hunter team is absolutely crazy when it comes to designing "anything" literally. Monsters, Weapons, Armors... But there was something missing in the weapons. It all looked like a one weapon but undergo some changes with the given materials. The reason behind that was probably, they wanted to make the weapons look realistic for the game. But it backfired for the old players, because every single weapons had its own design in the old games which made each one of them unique and good looking for the players. My last complain is the games difficulty. Compared to the old games it was a little easier. Not to mention our character hunter had even more features to use on its arsenal, it had many advantages compared to old games. That also had a reason itself: the dev. team wanted players to experience a medium difficulty so that everyone could play. Surprisingly, World became CAPCOM's best selling game of all time. Not Resident Evil... Not Devil May Cry... Not Street Fighter... Team was not expecting such praise. So you can say their strategy worked. Thankfully, in their expansion Iceborne, Master Rank will be "tremendously hard" dev.'s say. "We wanted to make the first release accessible, now that we've gained players, we can easily make it harder in a balanced way." which makes me really happy. On its own Monster Hunter World is an amazing game regardless of their cons. It's one of the best co-op experiences in gaming history. It deserves all the praise with the mechanical depth it has in combat, smart monster movements and blood boiling action. Players around the world are waiting for expansion's release since the team revealed... including myself and the woman of my life that I've met in Monster Hunter :) It has been quite a while that I actively play the game since I finished the game 120% every armor, weapon, quest clear. We even caught every single rare pet every fish size. We are just waiting for master rank and hopefully Alatreon... I hope there are people around the world who cares about these games as well and my words speak for their feelings... If you haven't played Monster Hunter. Please give it a try. Accomplishing a victory is the best feeling you can ever imagine in this game... Expand

    Maybe its not hard enough or the weapon designs are not good enough but I hope they will fix those in the Iceborne expansion. Game is a blast to play especially with your friends! A must buy and a must play for every hardcore gamer / fans of the series

    Wonderful bosses, worlds and character customization. The music is jamming and the animations and fun. Combat is also satisfying. Put in over a hundred hours into this. Ultimately, the G-rank and the need to consistently grind the same monsters is what put me off continuing this otherwise fantastic game.

    I have been a fan of the series since monster hunter 4 ultimate. The quality of life improvements are so substential that I could not go back to the older games. The one complaint I have is the design of the weapons. At the moment it's the base weapon plus a bit of fur / skin and teeth from the monster, which is considerable downgrade from insane amount of visual variaty of the older games.

    Un buon monster hunter finalmente.... peccato che sia anche un gioco abbastanza mediocre per il mio punto di vista. Posso accettare il gameplay legnoso e vecchio, ma non un comparto tecnico davvero penoso ed insufficiente. L'estetica dei mostri invece è molto suggestiva e riuscita.

The fights with monsters who were much stronger than human beings are always full of excitement, always. As a player of former monster hunter series, the design of new monsters in MHW is still charming. With the approval of console, there were much more details in both the models and actions of the monsters. The remake of the monsters existed in former MH was satisfying as well. However, there were also problems created by this evolution. Besides the bugs and weird movements of the monsters, the turf war was upsetting after saw them over and over again. Also, the landform full of steps and slopes made it extremely difficult to enjoy the combat in later game period. Besides, the music was too mediocre to be remembered. Anyway, I still agree that MHW is a necessary evolution for MH series. With this platform, the future of MH is worth expected. Expand

    Combat mechanics is a bit weird. Even if you "lock" on to your monster, your character is not really locked into your target which i feel is a waste. You still have to make sure your character is facing the monster before you actually hit the attack button.
    Story line of this game is not very engaging. I find it a bit boring and the voice acting is dull. You keep doing the same thing over and over again which is to hunt monster and kill.
    No pause in this game, even if you're playing by yourself.
    This game is not for everyone. I should have listened to the user reviews instead of the critic reviews before buying this game.

    On PS4 absolutely love this game. From some strange reason it is so wonderfully satisfying to jump in and bash up large dinosaur type monsters. You get to craft all your gear with what you kill/capture. Just wonderful! The learning curve is rather steep but definitely worth taking the time to master. Graphics are gorgeous and the replayability is endless. A definite must buy!

But again after you verse them 10+ times they become really boring and easy so it loses its sense of challenge. I include iceborne in this review but i beat all of iceborne without failing a single quest becuase the game is to easy at that stage. Maybe for others its a challenge but this was just me.

    This is a shorter review but overall this game is worht playing including iceborne, its fun, combat feels good and it has depth. This game is what the genre should be unlike certain rip off games lie God Eater 3.

    The gameplay is great, many people call it clunky not realising that it's part of it, it's a way of punishing the player for making bad decisions
    Capcom went in a different direction with this game, and it paid off. The more realistic style of the game really brought my attention to it, since I thought it fit more with this type of game than the overly cartoony style of the older games.

    The gameplay is great, many people call it clunky not realising that it's part of it, it's a way of punishing the player for making bad decisions and not having enough control of their skills and character movement. People don't complain about this with Dark Souls and such, why should they about Monster Hunter?

    The gameplay is satisfying, especially with friends, you have an enormous amount of monsters to fight, quests to do, and trophies to acquire. There's base decoration and endemic life collection which you can display, which was one of the must fun surprises I had with this game, some of the music can be quite nice, and while the story is passable, improving your gear and making different builds for monsters is super fun.

    I was going to say that I hoped Capcom would maybe make World a "home console and PC" spin-off and continue the main series on Nintendo portable consoles, but after seeing MH Rise... ehh please bring back World and stick to it, thank you.

    No other game had ever kept me playing beyond 100 hours since Pokemon when I was a kid and Skyrim, but the latter never past the 200 hours point, and even at 350 hours I still want to enjoy this game more. I can only describe it as a perfect game which achieves its goals flawlessly.

    The game seems dog **** in my early impressions of it, but the main problem here is that it cannot be paused, even when playing solo. I envy people who have such a lack of responsibility that they can commit to playing games without interruption that regularly, but sadly I have a life and need to be able to pause games from time to time.

    It's overly long at times, and that's the biggest problem. I encountered so many enemies that where not fun to fight and so many enemies that kept running away. The combat is also pretty average. This game was promising, but I got bored of it quickly.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Metacritic must-play is definitely well earned for this game regardless of the platform be it Ps4, Xbox, Pc, and Ps5 & Xbox series X as of writing this review.
    It has an amazing story albeit a story that some may not even notice at first but is rather interesting non the less, the story is rather basic when you read into it.

    You're a hunter travelling from their homeland to a new and amazing location filled with new creatures, landscapes, flora and fauna.
    However said new location is in danger and you're required to help save it from a huge volcano sized monster called "Zora Magdaros" who is venturing to the new world due to a rather unknown phenomenon called "The Elder Crossing" and is looking for its final resting place, this is only a small snippet of the full story but it's an amazing way to draw those who are interested in the story.

    The story is not the only thing to like about this game, there is also a massive roster of large monsters, from the relatively easy "Great Jagras" to the amazingly powerful final challenge "Fatalis" there are many types of monsters you can saly and/or capture (yes you can capture monsters but not in the way of "Pokemon").

    Just like the monsters, there is a large selection of weapons and armour made out of the very monsters you hunt threw out your time in the new world, each with various different skills and perks, want to boost your damage? then equip armour that has skills that boost your overall damage and ones the boost how often you deal high amounts of damage
    Want to decrease your stamina consumption? equip skills that reduce your stamina while running/dodging and/or skills that reduce the amount used up by attacking.

    Want to use a weapon that can knock monsters down on the ground? use a hammer!

    Want to use a weapon that's superior at range with different ammo types? use a bowgun! (a bowgun is a type of gun in the Monster Hunter universe).

    Want to use a weapon that's fast and nimble? use the dual blades or longsword!

    Want to use a weapon that does a high amount of damage per hit? use the greatsword!

    There is no limit as to what play-style you want to use threw out your time playing.

    There is so much to learn and enjoy from this game that I can't recommend it enough to those who are interested in playing this game, and in that case, if you're considering on buying it I'd say "go for it" you won't regret it.

    This is a series I hold very close to my heart. I have been playing this series since it was released back in 2004 on the Playstation 2. I was 4 years old at the time.

    This is a series I hold very close to my heart. I have been playing this series since it was released back in 2004 on the Playstation 2. I was 4 years old at the time.

    All the way from the Playstation 2, PSP, PS3, WII, PC (Frontier) WII-U, 3DS to the Switch and Playstation 4 and my PC again. It's been a very long journey, playing every last game, importing and region breaking all of my systems to play the Japan exclusives, even teaching myself minor hiragana in order to play the games. It's been with me most of my life.

    One of the main things I've always had was the isolation, especially in the PSP days, it was such a niche title in the West most people didn't know of it and those who did tried it once and never again.
    This is some thing World has tackled face first and I must say. They did FANTASTIC in this area, making it easier to learn and focusing on the west I absolutely adore the new community that's spawned from it! And playing through and completing it myself I can easily say gameplay wise this is the most refined in the entire series.... Unfortunately more so than the new title Rise. Though It's due to the controls for the Switch, I will love it so I'm not worried.

    The only issue I have with this game in particular is they catered... Maybe just a little too much to new players... So much that playing this game all the way to Alatreon and Fatalis for a seasoned veteran was.... Incredibly easy to breeze through.. Aside from that I love it.

    I remember playing Monster Hunter Tri on the Nintendo Wii when I was younger but I didn't know how to play the game, so I never got into the game/series.
    Monster Hunter: World is my first Monster Hunter game in a sense and it was an interesting experience, even though I didn't finish the story; it wasn't engaging at all and it's not an important part of the game anyway.
    The gameplay is fun though; there's a wide variety of different weapons, armor, items and playstyles to keep the gameplay loop - Hunt a monster -> Gather materials -> Craft new gear -> Repeat - stay exhilarating and deep.
    It can get a bit repetitive at times but it's very fun when you're hunting unique monsters; the highlight of Monster Hunter: World.
    The monsters are amazing! From their spectacular designs to the suspenseful confrontations, it's worth playing this game just for the monsters alone.
    The graphics are beautiful and the environments are absolutely stunning! Monster Hunter: World has some of the best looking environments I've seen in a videogame.
    Also, there's a lot of content in this game despite the grinding.
    Unfortunately for the gameplay though, the combat system and the controls are quite clunky.

    Pros:
    + Exciting and deep gameplay loop
    + Gorgeous environments and visuals
    + A lot of content
    + Monsters

    Cons:
    - Dated combat system & controls
    - Hunting monsters can get a bit repetitive in some instances

    Narrative: ?/10
    Gameplay: 7/10
    Content: 8/10
    Characters: ?/10
    Music: ?/10
    Graphics/Audio: 9/10

    Final Rating: 7.5/10
    - Very Good -
    On one hand, Monster Hunter: World is a very enjoyable videogame experience; on the other hand, it feels like a chore to play.
    Overall, I'd say Monster Hunter: World is a good game, especially for fans of the series, however, it won't be everyone's cup of tea.

    Do I recommend it?:
    For fans, Monster Hunter: World is a must-play.
    For newcomers, it's not easy to get into the game but it's worth a try.

    It's a great game to begin with but its weaker than MHGU for me.

    Well from graphical stand point, it's no doubt to be that good and it's quite dense and big as well for only 1 map. Yes, the map is dense but that makes exploring the world quite confusing, so many vegetations and other thing that obstruct how you view the world (not the map). Well, you'll memorize it by the end of it

    Yes, the map is dense but that makes exploring the world quite confusing, so many vegetations and other thing that obstruct how you view the world (not the map). Well, you'll memorize it by the end of it but it's easier to explore around in GU dan in World. And, any herbs, honey, etc. is hardly noticeable because they blend in with the world which is a great one but I hardly collect enough because I keep missing it. Yes, you got the help from scoutfly to locate each one of them but there comes another problem which is lighting of the game is not consistent which mostly makes me lost track of the scoutfly that locate certain object.

    Speaking of map, the icon of the map seems washed out. I don't know if I can mess around about it in the setting but so far, I didn't find any solution for this. That icon really helpful thou to locate certain object to collect for your Quest.

    The palico also rarely help you when you get stunned or electrified but they did heal you a lot in battle. Well, I still do prefer to get smacked by my palico when I'm stunned or electrified.

    Last, it's my preferences but MHW seems to weakened most of their monsters. Like I met Rathalos on GU when I unlock the 5 stars village Quest and I got stun a lot as well as burned. In MHW, I encounter him when I'm on a mission to hunt down Pukei-Pukei (the 3rd Quest I believe). I kinda of hesitant but decided to engage in combat. Turns out, I'm winning without even healing at all. Cutting tail also way easier in MHW than GU. To be honest, this affects the satisfaction kind of feel that I hardly get from World.

    Overall I do enjoy the game but GU still a better game in my opinion which makes me keep coming back to GU more than World.

    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.
