I died from fall damage.

Absolute treasure playing this game.

Each monster has their own difficulties and requires the player(s) to understand the monster's capabilities and weaknesses in order to combat it efficiently.
Progression is not too slow, but you also won't be blazing through the items toward the mid-late game.
Each item has their own purpose to lead you to great success in the hunts you will embark upon.

For me, the most upfront positives to this game are:
+ Unique battles literally everywhere
+ Abundant types of gameplay with 14 weapons to choose from (Some have their variants aswell)
+ Sometimes felt like a god when pulling off some of the amazing combos in this game
+ Amazing in both solo and team play

However, there are definitely some negatives:
- Multiplayer is rather tedious to use and sometimes doesn't even function
- Some controls are rather clunky or not streamlined enough
- Some cutscenes, while really pretty and invokes a feeling of ermagherd, are really freaking long
(Side Note: The devs have definitely addressed the first two issues and are working on solutions at the current time of writing)

Overall, an astounding game amongst the other grand titles of 2018. There will most likely be future updates, as Monster Hunter: World on the consoles definitely received some additional content over time.

TL;DR: It's good. You ultra-smack a lot of big dudes and feel badass whilst doing so. Buy the ♥♥♥♥♥♥' game.
