It's definitely an enjoyable monster slaying action game with plenty to keep you busy for a good while. There's lots of gear to craft, items to collect, and creatures to capture. The game world is vibrant and many areas look very well done despite the somewhat washed out filtering going on throughout the game.

I liked having the mounts to speed up travel time and it's neat watching them wall run and jump between obstacles. The new combat features were also pretty sweet, as a dual blade character I really enjoyed the focus strikes.

Somehow despite all of this I still find World to be the better game though I can't quite seem to put in to words why that is. I'd still say give this game a fair try though.

After 200 hours I haven't had any performance issues, I don't know how the other players with much better spces than me leave negative reviews talking about poor performance, the game works completely fine for me.
I've only had some connection issues but that gets fixed just by updating my dirvers so I wouldn't say I've had any perfomance issues so far.

The game is very replayable and rewarding.
The bosses are well designed and are very distinct from one another so there will be a lot of variety in the many different hunts that you can take once you hit High Rank.

The combat is really fun and the monster fights are great, there are many mechanics that I like for example being able to aim your melee attacks to target a specific part of a monster and it complements the wound mechanic perfectly. You can also use the environment at your advantage by creating hazards to trap or damage the monsters and use the endemic life in your favor in order to heal or inflict status ailments to the monsters.

There are many weapons to choose from and everyone plays very differently so there is a weapon for any playstyle; one thing that I really like about it is that no matter if you choose a simple or a very complicated weapon because once you master it any weapon could be as good as the next in my opinion.

The main story can feel easy at the beginning but the late game bosses have more complex patterns of attacks and it could get really dangerous if you mess up.

Old school Monster Hunter players may not like the newer games and specially this one either for the easier difficulty or the quality of life that removed some elements form previous entries but every Monter Hunter game is very different from one another and everyone of them are able to excel on their own. So I recommend to enter to this game with an open mind and try to embrace the chaos that comes with a fast paced and action packed entry on the series and accept this game for what it is an action focused Monster Hunter game and let's have fun together on the hunts :)

Honestly this game is a 10/10 for me and I highly recommend it to any one who likes action/adventure games and to anyone who wants to get into playing Monster Hunter.

I can't recommend this game given the current graphics bug with it that causes an instant crash on start. Until it's fixed no one should purchase the game even with the current sale.
