Negatives:
- Randomly crashes.
- The overall optimisation and performance is very poor.
- No proper acknowledgement from CAPCOM about the poor performance on PC.
- Cosmetic DLC on day one that costs more than half the price of the base game. This is cut content that should've been in the game. Cosmetic or not, it's still cut content.
- Too much automation (Seikret, tracking monsters, waypoint travelling, etc.) dulls the experience.
- The Palico is far too powerful. I played without my Palico which made the difficulty seem just right for me.

Positives:
- Action cutscenes and animations are top tier.
- The 'spectacle' of the fight is the best it's ever been. Power clashes and offset attacks are very cool additions.
- Monsters and their environments are very well crafted.
- Core gameplay is great. Wound system seems a little overtuned, but has potential for finding the right spot once harder monsters are added to the game.
- Story is serviceable. It eventually picks up the pace and becomes a bit more interesting towards the end.

Changing this review to a thumbs up. I spent too long tweaking settings to get it running at an acceptable state and suffering through multiple crashes which was incredibly frustrating. However, after finding the right settings it ran well and I was able to enjoy the game.
