For all its flaws, Monster Hunter: World is proof that a game can be more than the sum of its parts.

There's definitely enough bang for its buck to be appealing, but we just wish that there was a little more hand-holding in the first couple of hours while you're still learning – and that's not something I thought I'd ever say about a game.

I feel like I'm just scratching the surface of what Monster Hunter World has to offer. The sublime combat against a variety of awe inspiring monsters- the meaningful sense of progression where every little thing that I did felt like it mattered- it all culminated to the thrill of the hunt in those moments where with only a single life left, I fought against the odds, shoulder to shoulder with a group of strangers who became my brothers in-arms and when it was all said and done, I waved goodbye knowing that we had shared an unforgettable moment of triumph… until the next hunt.

Monster Hunter: World takes everything the series does well and arguably does it better.

Monster Hunter World isn't the perfect game in any way, but it's a great first step for those who haven't played this series before. And with plenty of new content, deep mechanics and a beautiful world it will not disappoint the hardcore-fans either.

It's hard to imagine another game capable of drawing our attention like this one. Monster Hunter World is huge, captivating, challenging and addictive, especially if played with a group of friends. Capcom has improved so many things over the original formula, it's almost impossible to keep track. Seriously, there's no better moment like now to begin your hunting career.

As the first debut on new platforms, Monster Hunter World displays excellence in every hunt. The new changes are a great evolution of the series that can get new players their first taste of hunting while veteran players will look forward to seeing an old nemesis in High Rank hunts.

Monster Hunter World doesn't revolutionize the genre, but improves it anyway. Indeed, apart from loading times that can sometimes seem long and some graphic bugs, the game has improved a formula that has always worked. If some changes may disappoint long-time fans, the game remains accessible to everyone. Rethink a game is never an easy thing, but Capcom has succeeded. As epic as it is beautiful, Monster Hunter World is a must-have of the saga.

Monster Hunter: World is easily the finest entry in the franchise to date. The move to PS4 has only done it favours, with stunning visuals and environments that you'll want to get lost in. Flashy, satisfying combat will lead to many water cooler chats, and vastly improved online features make it a breeze to find help. It's a real shame that Capcom still hasn't found an ideal way to welcome new players, but if you are able to sink your teeth into World, you'll discover an incredible action RPG experience.

With little in its way, Monster Hunter World smashes expectations with its organic, living, beautiful world. Matchmaking has its quirks and qualms, but little stands in the way of what's been created here. Monster Hunter World raises the bar high without distilling what made the franchise special in the first place.

When it comes to Monster Hunter, the level of depth in the game leaves a lot to talk about, and I don't think it's possible to capture everything in this review.

I can't honestly say it's the best Monster Hunter, as I haven't played the others, but it's the best way to get into Monster Hunter, for sure, and it stands on its own as one of the best games so far this year and likely one of my favorites going forward.

Monster Hunter World is a fascinating and beautiful game. MMO fans, action fans, RPG fans, and open world fans will all find something to love. This is a game that invites players in and gradually reveals its glorious depths. The unconventional multiplayer aspect might take some time to get used to, but the core loop of hunting monsters and crafting gear is so strong that even the most skeptical players will be snared by Monster Hunter's hooks if they give it half a chance.

I've enjoyed previous entries in the Monster Hunter series but none of them have felt as compelling as World. This entry is more accessible than any of the previous games yet still manages to have deep crafting and gearing systems for the later game. The gameplay loop is tight and rewarding.

If you haven’t tried Capcom’s Monster Hunter: World you really should. Whether it’s on PC or console the game remains one of the best RPGs you’ll ever play, and the most inviting the series has ever been.

The 65 hours spent visiting every ravine of Monster Hunter World left us happy and hungry. Happy because Capcom's game is in all respects the highest point of an already exceptional series, which with this new "zero point" manages to effectively rework its formula, perfectly combining tradition and innovation. Hungry because, in all honesty, the game has left us with an irresistible desire to continue venturing into the coils of an enveloping and inspired world, strong of a maniacal care for every detail.

The arrival of Monster Hunter World on PC is not as triumphant as you would have expected. However, excluding technical and netcode issues, Capcom's impressive creature scratches as on console. It is curated, full of details, endowed with a surprising artistic imagery, especially with regard to the aesthetics of monsters. And it is also a pleasure to play, to master in its meticulous facets of gameplay, in the mathematical refinement of a build. Whether you play it just to experience the intoxication of facing a legendary beast, or to be caught by the wildest farming, Monster Hunter World knows how to guarantee a lot of satisfaction. And its value also lies in the scalability of the experience that - it is true - is not yet perfect, but it has certainly taken the right path.

Monster Hunter: World is one of the finest action-RPGs ever made and a rich co-op title that's only made better with the PC version's technical improvements.

This Monster Hunter World PC version is not perfect, notably because of lack of details in textures definitions and some errors in binding of keyboard. And the game dont have cross-platform. For the rest, game is a good experience with lot of graphics options like 60FPS possibility and more. We just need to wait for HD textures pack to have the ultimate PC version.
