User reviews & Ratings
Explore reviews from Steam users sharing their experiences and what they love about the game.
Disclaimer: This review is meant for people new to the MH series, perhaps coming from Elden RIng/soulsborne. Also I consider the Iceborne DLC a part of the game, because the game is kind of incomplete without it - its like a second chapter rather than a standard DLC. If you like the base game, you will love the DLC. TLDR: 10/10, probably the best PvE game I have ever played. Definitely worth a try. I will try to keep the glazing short and I will instead give some tips on what to expect/prepare for, since I believe one of the biggest downsides of this game is whenever you go into it expecting it to be something it is not. The main gameplay loop is: go hunt a monster (similar to a good soulsborne bossfight in quality), make better gear from the gathered loot, repeat. This means the majority of the gameplay is kind of like a soulsborne boss-rush, although with some key differences. The fights take longer (around 15-25 minutes with decent skill and apropriate equipment) and are generally less punishing (apart from some of the hardest fights, its not "1 combo = rip" like in soulsborne). There are 14 weapon types ranging from swords to LMGs and all the weapons within a certain type share almost the same moveset. On the other hand the movesets are very complex and have an extremely high skill ceiling, most weapon types have an entire catalogue of combos for different situations as well as weapon-specific mechanics like temporary buffs obtained by landing a certain combo etc.. This complexity more than makes up for the longer duration of fights and makes the combat very engaging even when re-fighting the same monster. The equipment optimization is also a lot less straight forward than in soulsborne with a system based mainly on armor skills and set bonuses rather than flat stats. On top of that, the world itself is surprisingly immersive and its depth is one of the best i have seen in single player games. Also the graphics are really good for a game this old, especially in 4K. This game somehow manages to be both a chill experience to relax and smack some big lizards in while also housing some of the most difficult and epic bossfights I have personally ever encountered - a couple of them easily reach the "Malenia or Consort Radahn without spirit summons"-level difficulty. What to expect/watch out for: -This game is LONG, like easily 400-600h long. Its completely normal for first playthroughs to take 200-300h just to get to the endgame (=finish both base game and DLC campaigns). -The game also requires quite a bit of effort from the player to actually get into it and enjoy it, both in terms of time investment and trying to understand/learn it. -The beginning phase (the first 10-15h) is the weakest by quite a bit. It manages to feel both overwhelming and kinda slow at the same time. Dont get me wrong, its still fun and not worth rushing through, but the really fun part starts when all the mechanics become available and the fights become gradually more epic. This is one of the reasons most people have either less than 10 or 150+ hours on this game... -Do NOT use the Guardian and Defender armor or Defender weapons. The game will try to make you use them to "help you out", but they are extremely OP and make the first like 2/3 of the base game campaign boring as hell (you literally can beat the entire base game campaign with this armor set, given how strong it is). They were added for people who want to skip the base game and go to Iceborne right away (for ex. due to them switching from console to PC). -Try to hunt everything solo for the first time. The game doesnt downscale equipment basically at all. This means there is always a good chance that an endgame player will join and kill your monster in like 4 hits. That being said, the game is balanced a lot better than soulsborne games in terms of co-op with similar level players - playing through the game at the same time with a friend doesnt really bring down the quality of the fights like it does for ex. in Elden Ring. -Lastly, some tips on how not to get overwhelmed: At the start, focus on the basics - your chosen weapons basic moveset/combos, the monsters moveset and forging/upgrading your armor and weapon. Take things slow, there is no need to power grind your way through the game, that will just make you hit a wall a bit later (you dont need to bang your head against a wall in low level gear, you will have plenty of "git gud" moments in the endgame, when the option to ease the fight by getting better gear is no longer available). Pay close attention to the UI, it tells you a lot, especially in terms of keybinds. Try watching some beginner tips/guide videos on YT, there are a lot of good ones that are spoiler-free. In conclusion, this game is not for everyone, but if it seems interesting to you, its definitely worth to pick up. If you give it some time and learning, there is a good chance you will love it.
