MHW might sound repetitive but the dynamic and well-designed challenges make this a hugely entertaining title. An absurd UI shouldn't keep anyone enjoying the hunt.

Monster Hunter World exceeds all expectations and presents itself as one of the best entries of the series so far. Besides some minor issues with a overloaded UI and some questionable help mechanics the game manages to keep you on enjoying the grind and is definitely the best title in the series for newcomers.

It clearly represents the future of the franchise, and we highly recommend you try it out, as it's a must-have whether you played any of the Monster Hunter games or not.

The next generation of Monster Hunter has finally begun, and, with Monster Hunter World, it's off to an incredibly good start.
