Monster Hunter: World Standard Edition - PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5

Great Monster Hunter Game for returning veterans of the series and new players alike. The controls are vastly improved over previous titles. Fun, challenging, action-packed combat perfectly contrasts the somewhat boring and slow grind for items to upgrade your weapons and armor. Quests come in a few types, lengths, difficulties, and requirements. Each weapon is unique and fun in its own way. The story elements are quite weak, but sufficient enough for a Monster Hunter game. Multiplayer vastly improves the enjoyment of the game in my opinion. Would recommend to fans of Monster Hunter games, action RPGs, JRPGs, open-world games(although MHW isn't exactly open world).

I'm so tired of people comparing this game to Dark Souls, Dark Souls is great and all but the only thing these two games have in common is that they don't hold your hand and there's a roll function. By that logic, most fighting games are Dark Souls, Skyrim is Dark Souls, Katamari Damacy is Dark Souls, Metroid is Dark Souls, pfft, Sonic is Dark Souls. Don't listen to those idiots. Monster Hunter is fun, It's rewarding, It is a fantastic game to play with a group of friends, will it frustrate you? Yes. Do you have to grind? Yes. Do you spend countless hours playing it (if you enjoy it of course) and feel genuinely entertained? Yes. The Updates and DLC have been free and improve the game experience, some of the paid things in the game are there totally as cosmetics and don't change anything so they're forgivable. Get this game if you feel that you're not a quitter and won't throw a tantrum because a 7 foot tall bird killed you by hitting you over the head with a rock.

Monster Hunter series finally returns to consoles with Monster Hunter World. Great entry back into the console scene. Adds many advancements from the new MHGen series and upgrades to the game that are very welcome. Must have for any Monster Hunter fan and a great point of entry into the series.

Excellent game great graphics a lot of game play throughout the levels

I can't think of a better game to play with friends. Monster Hunter is an amazing game series and World is no exception. Every weapon feels special, monsters feel unique and real and there are plenty of weapons and armor sets to choose from. There's enough difficulty for those who want it, and finding your perfect set is really worthwhile. I could recommend this enough and with Iceborne on the horizon, now is as good a time as any to get into it.

Monster Hunter games have been around a long time but I've never really understood the hype. MHW is my first one and they hit it out of the park. They've done a great job of simplifying the combat for newcomers and still have all of the min/maxing and minutia for the hardcore crowd. There are tons of weapons and many different play styles to suit everyone. Grab a weapon and go beat up giant dinosaurs and other monsters. Every kill gets you monster parts to use for newer weapons and armor. You also get an adorable cat you get to dress up and bring to the fights with you. The multiplayer works well is needed for the hardest of monsters. I put in 300 hours for the platinum and loved all of it... except Kirin... f Kirin.

I'm new to monster hunter so I cant comment on how this game compares to the older titles but I will say the multiplayer aspect was the highlight for me. Get 3 of your friends together and slay a wide variety of monsters! The main game play loop is pick a mission, hunt, fight, and kill monsters with a weapon of your choice (their are dozens of them),loot resources not only from the monster that you killed but also within the environment, bring resources back to base camp to craft better weapons, armor, etc, repeat. It can get repetitive doing this solo after awhile but bring a couple of buddies with you and its a blast to play. I highly recommend.

This game is lots of fun. The graphics are amazing. Lots to do. I can spend hours playing this game. I really like this game.
