Monster Hunter: World Reviews

Deco farming sucks ass without mods but the game is a fun time with friends regardless. Shoutouts to the two real mfs who took down Fatalis with me.

Zero respect for your time. Unskippable cutscenes, multiple second long animations on every single action, ten second stun effects applied by the majority of all attacks and a "hunting" experience focused around hoping you bump into the small line of clues that will actually spawn the monster into the world. All this for the monster to decide to instantly run away to the opposite side of the map after no more than a minute of fighting. Not even the combat escapes from the slog - your weapon will become fully dull potentially dozens of times per fight, forcing everything to an abrupt halt while you sit in a corner smacking your sword until it works again every thirty seconds. It's all the worst parts of Evolve and Dauntless mashed into a janky mess which explains very little and is rarely even correct in its own explanations - the claw attack meant to reposition a monster that you're climbing almost never does anything, as an example. And then it's all centered around a core gear upgrade mechanic that means very little, because all of your upgrades just make your numbers higher at a somewhat even pace with the natural increases in the enemies' numbers, as though it were some shitty half-baked MMO. Genuinely the worst experience I've had with any game in its genre, ever. Catastrophically bad, utterly wasteful of every single second invested into it. Every single mission resulted in a net negative enjoyment value. Even when the fucking stars align and things start to get just a little engaging, you can ALWAYS be killed in one hit because attacks will sometimes apply the same instance of damage multiple times. It's pathetic.

Nice graphics. Story seems to be decent. Combat can get tricky at times. Recommend. Suggest getting during a sale, if only so some of the add-ons don't break your bank.

Just started and its been fun. This is my 10$ demo for Monster Hunter: Wilds

By far my favorite entry, in my favorite video game series. I often wish I could experience the whole game all over again for the first time. Hopefully MH:Wilds will deliver as good or even better than World did.

Upon my second play though (my first being on PS4), I've realized just how much this game rewards proper preparation, but on your first play though things can get pretty tough. This is especially true when you don't know resource upkeep. The combat is top notch and promotes observation when you are playing solo and in groups it can feel more like a hack and slash on easy fights. Iceborne is a more challenging experience where utility items are arguably less useful, and the armor skills are more important, but the fights are especially engaging regarding both at the end of the expansion. Customizing your armor set for your or your weapon's playstyle will go a long way. SO much personality in this game, despite the actual plot being boring (unless you like ecology, and bland dialogue). The consensus is melee weapons are more fun than the ranged ones (bow being the most fun of the ranged out of the 3 for melee players imo, vs. 11 melee weapons with varying speed, damage, and size)

Best monster hunter game to date, one can only hope wilds is as good as this game

I can't believe this is the game that i was so intimidated by the gameplay complexity at first, I almost gave up, but ended up addicted with it. It is a really fun game once you understand how it works, either by playing solo or with friends. Great game as an entry for the Monster Hunter franchise.

This is more like my thoughts on this game as a first-timer in MH franchise than a complete breakdown review, but in a good way. (Tl;dr available) There's no words that can explain how much i love this game. This was my first MH game i played and im absolutely loving it to the point im quite obsessed (i never expected to be THAT obsessed). Gotta thank the friends of mine who gave me enough encouragement to give it a try. My only regret is that i never bothered to try it earlier even when this game had collab with my favorite franchises on its earlier days. If you're more into a Singleplayer game than a game that's designed for Multiplayer like me, i can assure you can enjoy this game as much as i do (i do solo more than multi most of the time). Just put a little bit effort to understand the game loop and mechanic if you're a first-timer. In result, you'll stuck in this hell forever (or should i say, heaven?). Interesting weapon tree, armor, skill mechanics, cool monster fight and design, less stress when you're struggling with a certain boss (too much to write the reasons why but you'll get it once you try it yourself), everything's detailed even a little silly stuff like emotes and cats, and alot of stuff to explore post-story (you have to purchase the expansion as well for this but i swear it's worth to get especially it gets discounted quite often). What could you have asked more? Sometimes, i wish i had the capability to erase all of the memory i had in this game so that i can experience this game for the first time again. Tl;dr, I love this game and would recommend it. (Also, stop the hate towards The Handler!!!!!! she's WIFE) <- very important note

Good game. Recommend to anyone who enjoys action rpg games. It's a game where you gear up to take down huge opponents. Emphasis on timing, strategy, and choosing the correct gear. Button mash will get you killed. Gameplay also changes depending on what weapon you choose to use. End game content is considerably large, which is also a big plus in my book.
