A solid next step into the newer generations of Monster Hunter. A good sequel to Monster Hunter World. The new mechanics are intuitive and strong. (some would argue too strong.) The world itself is vast and connected, and even exploring a small part has you finding things just tucked away that you wouldn't have expected to find! It's worth exploring beyond the hunting alone.

If you have any semblance of patience, it's a fun game. the game plays like Destiny 2 with Warframe's equipment modding hardware. It's not hand-holdy in that you'll need to read into the mechanics and fights. Don't expect to walk through the content like you could in Warframe.

People need to quit whining about optimization, the gameplay is fun, the world is great, Throwing out a recommend to counter the complaints. If you like Monster Hunter, you'll like this.

Writing a positive review just to counter all of the negative backlash over connectivity/optimization. Yes, we expect a great game, we got a great game!

Edit: My time is low on the PC, however I've played it enough to get enough of a feel to make a review.

It's a shame Multiplayer is a little clunky to work at the moment, but this game is HARD. If it's too hard for you to play alone, then you're playing the wrong game. It only gets tougher in multiplayer. It's fun to play with friends, sure, and this is it's best opportunity to, which is why it's a shame it doesn't work. That doesn't take away from the game as a whole. I'll use an analogy. "Order cake with ice cream. Only get cake. inform waiter. Waiter apologizes and goes to get ice cream while still busy waiting on other tables. Eventually you get ice cream, cake is almost done, but hey! Now you can enjoy that last bit of cake with ice cream too! And you'll sure as heck stay to finish off that ice cream because of how good it is!" So relax, enjoy the game, they're working on fixing Multiplayer.

Let me also tell you my specs. GTX 760 TI graphics card. FX-6300 processor. The game runs fluidly, even in dark, hectic, rainy fights. Sure, it isn't "Pretty" because I'm not using reccomended equipment, but it sure looks good regardless! Not many games can still claim to look good on low settings, this one can. Am I getting 60fps? I dunno, I don't framecount. But I've never had any noticable framedrops that have hindered my enjoyment of the game.

Am I a capcom fanboy? No. Monster Hunter is the only game of theirs that I enjoy. I don't like Street Fighter, and I was too late to the megaman franchise to enjoy it properly.... those are capcom, right?

Finally, "They had so much time between this release and the console release". I'm still in the boat that believes it was an exclusivity deal that pushed it back rather than anyting to do with porting the game over. Regardless, it's here now with some of the same minor bugs that existed with the PS4 release version, but with some of the patches that the ps4 version had gotten later.

All in All? Great game, regardless of the issues. Still worth playing and will only get better when they patch the Multiplayer.

You gotta play it in windowed mode, but this game is insanely intense. Mix Sonic speed with Mirror's Edge parkour in a trippy sci -fi environment. Picked it up for 3 bucks and it's been the best 3 bucks I've spent in a long time!
