Monster Hunter World and its expansion, Iceborne, reignited my love for Monster Hunter.

Honestly, I didn't think I'd enjoy World because I couldn't get the hang of the hunting horn, which was my main since I first used it in MH4U. But with encouragement and help from some friends, I decided to keep trying out and learning how to use different weapons. I've always been a one type of weapon hunter but in this game, I've learned how to be a little more experimental with my weapon choices.

The graphics in the game are phenomenal and there are a lot of quests to do in the game. At first, I thought that the grind would be really bad and it would get boring immediately. But I've really enjoyed the quests they've added, especially those made for hub hunting (Kulve Taroth and Safi'jiva). The weapon mechanics have been reworked so that most weapons are easy to pick up but still challenging to master.

I also really enjoyed decorating my room. I love that my friends can visit my room so that I can show off my room. All in all, a really good game to play and definitely a great addition to the Monster Hunter franchise.

A World of Hunting

Great game fun to play. Could use more of a story line. I still think the game is great played over 100 hours an love it.

Great game fun to play. Could use more of a story line. I still think the game is great played over 100 hours an love it.

A massive expansion with lots of new monsters, gear, abilities and a whole new map: Hoarfrost reach. The monsters look awesome with some flashy effects. There have been 5 big free updates, each one with its own new monster and gear. This expansion is almost a steal for 30-40 dollars because you can make thousands of hours out of this DLC.

After spending over 1.2k hours on both the base game and expansion, I can definitely say that I can provide you a complete breakdown and review of this game.

  

Let's start first with the good.

1\. Its got more monsters to hunt

2\. More armor to craft for both you and your palico.

3\. A balance between "roles" has been added such as gunner or bow users receive more damage than players using melee.

4\. More cosmetics such as layered weapons, armor, and pendants.

5\. Has a better end-game due to the implementation of the Guiding Lands.

  

Now for the bad.

1\. Not enough "New World" monsters.

I know a lot of you fans out there will disagree with me on this but, do we really need to bring back old world monsters? Do we really need to fight another Nargacuga or Tigrex or even Barioth for the 7000th time?

I never was excited to fight these guys again cause I know how they fight during previous titles. The joy in fighting new monsters in MH is discovering what it can do. Capcom pretty much crapped on the bed on this one all for the sake of fan service.

  

2\. More MMO like gameplay in a MH game.

It first started with Lunastra. Then Behemoth. Then Ancient Leshen. Then Safijiva. And finally Alatreon.

Is Capcom too lazy to create a proper difficult monster? They just add an AOE ultimate move on one of these bad boys and call it a job well done? It seems like it.

3\. Sticky ammo.

If you wanna beat 90% of the monsters in the game with ease. Well, follow these steps.

\- Get artillery 5. (MR Zorah gear)

\- Use Shara Ishvalda HBG

\- put 4 shields and a long barrel

\- have Guard 5 and use a Shield Jewel

\- Augment your HBG with Health

And there ya go. GG too easy!

  

All in all, this expansion is worth getting if you enjoyed the base game. Just don't expect a great end game from it. If you wanna play a MH game with a great end game, go for MH Generations.
